Busy Bee...

This past weeks assignment was to log our everyday activities and analyze what we find regarding time spent studying and time spent elsewhere. When I logged my first days activities I was honestly shocked about the fact that I’m moving constantly moving and almost never stop. I woke up at seven fifty that morning for breakfast and didn’t get back to west until ten fifty that night for more studying. I am pretty sure I do a good job of making sure I get my studies done along with everything else I do such as my commitment to the baseball program, physical therapy every day, and making sure I get each of my meals in. My mornings are pretty much consumed by my classes because the team needs the afternoons off for practices, intersquads, lifting. During the week I also have to fit in my study table time, which is mandatory in order to maintain my athletic eligibility.

             Even though I am so busy throughout my day, I still leave time every night for a personal study hall that goes for eight to ten o’clock p.m. The reason I do this is because I have a mandatory five hours a week of study table and after that it is all on me. I think a major reason that I leave this study hall for myself is because of the fact that at Millbrook I was required to have study hall every day of the week (even on Fridays) from eight to ten o’clock p.m. I used to complain so much about the study hall and never wanted to do it, but now that I’m in college I realize how vital it is. If I didn’t develop that important skill to sit down and grind out work, I honestly don’t know how well I would be doing right now in college.

            After looking at my log, I’ve come to realize that I honestly am not putting in more hours for personal time than both sports and studying for school. I think that is great because it keeps me on the right track, but it is sort of depressing to look at on paper. Regardless, I’m happy with where I am right now academically, athletically, and personally.
