One of the most famous lines in literary history. Of course being from the great American novel Moby Dick-- this line began and ended my first day of school. We talked about it in my first class, and I finished my last class' homework by reading the first three chapters of Moby Dick.
This semester I have a few goals that I am trying to maintain:
1. No Skipping Classes
*this is both because I really want to work on my motivation and because I'd like to stay on the Dean's List (ending my time at UMD as strong as possible)
2. Finish my homework by 7pm each night (the night its assigned)
*the only shows I watch religiously on television are at 7 and 8, so I want to have everything finished by that time so I can relax and enjoy the rest of my evening... and lets be honest... my best work does not happen while burning the midnight oil
3. Regulate my sleep schedule
*I am far less cranky and far healthier when I am not sleeping from 3am to 12pm or cramming in a few hours here and there. This break I did a good job getting to bed at reasonable times and waking up by 8 almost every day, and I'd like to carry it on this semester.
4. Get to the gym
*I'm not so concerned with dropping pounds or getting ready for a race.. so much as I just feel better when I have done something active and productive.. I'm aiming to supplement my twice a week goal of making it to the gym with some random yoga and abs back in the apartment
I'm starting with 4 goals. So far... I have maintained the first and the third. I of course have gone to all of my classes and I've gotten to sleep almost 8 hours every night (all 2!!) Last night, I didn't finish my reading by seven, in fact.. I finished the reading today in my break from 11-1. But-- I still think it's a good goal to have.
It has been a long time that I've been saying I'm a Geography major-- I have completed almost all of my coursework for it, but I hadn't gotten the chance to finalize it with the head of the department, but today... I did it!
I'll post later about my classes, but this is long enough for one post.
Call me Hannah.
