Focus
So it has been a long time since I’ve posted a blog. But in preparation of starting practica musica, I decided to post. So here is whats been going on since I last posted.
About 3 or 4 weeks ago, my Focus (car) died, so I was pretty upset since I had put a lot of myself into it. I now drive a 2008 Mazda 3 hatchback. I love it, it feels a lot like the Focus, just better. It’s is super rad. It is just lacking the car stereo, but I will get it back sometime in the next few months.
More importantly, I have almost completely lost my ability to focus on anything for more than about five minutes at a time. This is actually really bothering me, I don’t know what is so different about this semester compared to the last two. I guess it has to do with the fact that I’ve been in classes since Feb. 1 of this year. If you don’t count the 3 or 4 weeks of breaks in between semesters, that is over 30 weeks of school. I’m sure some of you are thinking, “yeah okay, get over it” However I am not used to, nor am I adjusting well to taking classes for that long of a time. So, long story short, I’m starting to really burn out. I finally decided to take actions against this. Today, I decided to drop my 8 am English class. I’m not sure if I made the right decision at the moment, but I feel that if I did not drop this one class I would probably end up with a 2.0 GPA this semester, which is just not acceptable. I decided that dropping this class would allow more time for me to study, and try to catch up on much missed sleep.
Frankly, I don’t feel great about this decision, I feel that in a way I am giving up, which I try not to do. But at the same time, maybe giving up on this class now will prevent me from giving up as a whole. I don’t know, that’s just a thought. What do you all think about this? Also, does anyone have any ideas that could help keep me focused and motivated?
