Corinne's IST 110H Blog

This week is going to be so hard for me and it really shouldn't be. One of the lessons that I have learned from this first semester at college is to do things when you are supposed to and to budget your time more responsibly. I made the mistake of assuming that as long as I wasn't drinking all the time that I was being responsible but even doing things like going to the movies or just hanging out with friends before you do your work is just as irresponsible. I have the worst work ethic on the face of the earth sometimes. I like to think that I can hunker down and get done what needs to be done but so far I have yet to see any evidence of this in myself and that kinda worries me. Next semester will be a real challenge. I need to rework my outlook on college and I need to stop accepting my grades as they are because they are "good enough" and start to work to my full potential.

Today I have to figure out all the problems facing NASA and come up with solutions for those problems. I don't really know how i'm supposed to do this and then make a 20 minute speech about it and since my group is supposed to be doing an equal share I am wondering what the hell they've been working on while i'm racking my brain for ways to fix a government agency that not even the government can fix.

Also today I have to find a book and write a paper on it for my religious studies class. The thing is I was supposed to have been working on this paper all semester and now that it's due on Friday and I don't even have a book selected yet I am starting to feel a little pressure. Ahh the stresses of procrastination...
