College Homework

     The first week of school wasn't all that bad. I really enjoyed stepping foot on to a new campus, especially one as nice as USF. The first few homework assignments were easy too. Actually, all of them have been easy so far, read a little here, write a little there, maybe throw in a picture or two and it's over. However, I have already recieved a crash course in time management, courtesy of my tendency to procrastinate. I work about 25 hours a week, as well as come to school three days a week. Usually I go directly to work from the campus after my last class of the day, which lets out at 11:35AM, and stay at work until 9:00PM. After that, I like to go and hang out with my friends after a long day of non-stop work. The homework assigned can always wait until the night before it's due, or so I thought. It became clear that waiting to do homework that's assigned to me isn't the best strategy, because it piles up quick. It's only been one week and I forgot completely about an assingment, which luckily got pushed back a day, and quickly did another one that I should have put my time in to. My goal is to be the valedictorian of USF, and to do that I must stay on top of all of my work. I've learned my lesson already, my friends can wait, the homework can't. I now put school before eveything else, and it's going to stay that way until I graduate.
