Academic Resolutions for the New Year

school is about to start, and like always, i'm nervous. i don't know what stc will bring. i signed up for biology, art appreciation, and psychology. i am also taking my remedial math through del mar. my anxiety level has already gone up because i could not find the math textbook here in the valley. therefore, i had to order it online and you know how that goes. will it be the right one? will i get all the cds i need, the student i.d., etc.

nevertheless, i persevere. here are my academic resolutions for the new school year.
i must say that i am not at all enthusiastic about my course load this semester. i ran out of literature courses to take (until i get to the university) and now only need my core requirements.

1. try to enjoy my classes!
2. do not procrastinate! use my planner to stay organized*
3. i will be ecstatic if i receive a B in math.
4. begin applying for scholarships for the fall semester.

*this statement might seem odd. but i have found that when i use my planner, not only do i manage my assignments better, i'm less stressed out. i used it a lot last spring while i was taking four classes (i know that seems like very little for some college students, but when you have a household of four to run, it's alot.) and did well. i remember that during the month of april, i had major assignments due almost every day.

other resolutions i have are as follows:

1. finish reading "Founding Brothers" by Joseph Ellis this month. (i've been reading it since this
summer!)
2. after i finish the aforementioned, i would like to read a book on Thomas Jefferson. that way i
can work on my other lofty goal of reading a book on every president; TJ is next on my list.
let's see that would leave me only forty more presidents to go, easy as pie, remember?
3. i have read two out of the ten plays in the book, "Ten Greek Plays in Contemporary
Translations." i have read "Agamemnon" and "Oedipus Rex." i would like to read the
remaining eight plays this year.

i think i have enough to get me started, what do you think?
