Long Term Academic Goals

My long term academic re chief(prenominal)der is obtain a bachelors degree. That goal is front broken down into semesters in which I puzzle two courses at a time. I am currently pickings two courses, and this is my first semester. I proceed down the semester into weeks, doing performance on a weekly basis. At the beginning of the week, which for me is Mon solar day, I estimate how long it will take me to complete that weeks proveing appellative. I ramify that time by five days, as I prefer non to read on the weekend, and I read that many another(prenominal) minutes from each one day.So, for example, if I estimate that I put on five hours worth of culture or the week, I would read for an hour each day. In regard to priorities, I establish them by due fitting of fittings, and amount of lick due each course. I try to do the heaviest work load first. My support group consists of my family and friends. I usually talk to them on a daily basis on my turn to work, and I t ell them about the work I am doing for each class each week. They listen attentively, and offer advice on how to complete the work in a timely fashion, such as fit aside time each day for school work.My brother is particularly supportive, as twain he and I started college when we were both young, and he is Curious as to the changes that have happened over the years. My backup plan in case my computer goes down is twofold. First, I have my laptop on which I can access the internet. On the laptop, I have MS treatment, so I can do my assignments. If both my main computer and my laptop go down, I have access to my brothers laptop, which has MS Word on It as well. I overly have access to the internet via my local anesthetic public library.Finally, I keep deal of my assignments and due dates via a paper background signal calendar and my Blackberry. The desktop calendar Is on my work desk. I write every(prenominal) assignment on the date that It Is due on the calendar. When I comple te an assignment, I check It off with a royal highlighter. I also put the assignment Into my Blackberry calendar, and set an alarm to go off at 1000 AM of the date the assignment Is due. Since assignments are not due until midnight of the day they are due, If the assignment Is even outstanding, I have xiv hours to complete It. This gives me adequate time to still complete the assignment.
