Reflection 4 (motivation)

In the beginning of the semester , I came to Fullerton with full on drive, I had wonderful time management and kept up with my work, As the semester has gone by I’m still pretty motivated , but I need to work on my time management a little better. To be fair to myself I’m pretty busy , but when I’m not busy. I should be getting tons of stuff done . Instead I find myself “tired” or “not in the mood “. Sometimes I pick sleep over homework. I still get the work done but, I’ve let a allot of projects go till last minute . I’ve missed a few points here and there because of this , and I cant believe I let that happen! This week so far I’ve been pretty good . One thing that keeps me motivated are my dreams . I just keep telling myself “I can do this “ and I set goals for myself . I’m a goal oriented person . I’m aware of my limits and know what I’m capable of and part of me wouldn’t except anything less. So when I do let things go it makes me upset, I picture all my dreams crushing to the ground . One thing that has helped me keep motivated and focused is always try to take one day at time . If I have extra time to do work due later that’s great but , getting done what’s done sooner, makes my things seem less overwhelming .I also have days in the week I look forward to keep me motivated during the week . On Tuesdays me and my friend are both at school all day, so after our last class we usually grab something to eat. I also do other stuff to keep me motivated but , those are few that I can list on the top of head right now .

Dear Jennifer (Me)

 

I cant believe we haven't seen each for a whole year! It feels like forever! Well remember how I told you I'm taking classes at Fullerton College , well their going pretty great. I also still work part time  at the Cab Co as call taker . I'm still planning to be nurse, sometimes it gets hard because I have so much going on and I get tired but, I've been pretty good with my time management overall with a few slip ups once in while. I don't want one bad grade to ruin my chances of getting masters , if I want one later. Hopefully I'll be able to transfer after the next semester. It's been harder then ever to get classes now because of budget cuts.When I transfer I'm probably going to try to stay close to home and just commute.I  can't imagine leaving everything behind. Also it will be cheaper and give me chance to save up money for the future .I'm thinking of Cal State Fullerton ,Long beach , or maybe Chapman. I like how Cal State Fullerton is close but , I'm not sure how their Nursing program is. Long Beach State I've heard has wonderful Nursing program but , the only thing its a little farther a way but , it might be worth the drive. Chapman also could be option for me if they accept me . If I was going to live in a dorm , I would love to go to school out in Arizona. I love it there and think it would be allot of fun to go to school out there.  Also last year I started  eating less sugar and I  feel amazing! I still have treat once in while but, its not like I crave them everyday anymore. I hope one day I'll be able to buy new car and be able to afford to go on a nice vacation once a while . Also I would love to be able to put a down payment on house with someone when I plan to move out or get married.Those are just some dreams of mine. I really think its important for us to stay in touch . I really miss you and love you! Please take care of your self and never change!

 

Sincerely,  me
