Finally managing my time

This was the first week where I haven’t had dance every day, and to be honest it felt great! I have had so much time on my time on my hands this past week.  I haven’t had this much time on my hands in a long time. I have been able to get my homework early, studied for my tests for two hours instead of studying 10 minutes before; also, I have been able to hang out with my family and friends.

Now that I only dance two days a week instead of five I feel less stressed, I feel a lot more accomplished and I feel that I have managed my time a lot more. Time management has been a struggle for me from the start, but now that I have been starting to cut things down like dance, I feel like I have somewhat  been able to manage my time. I think my struggle with time management will get a lot better once I start realizing that I can’t do everything at once. But cutting down dance has been a big step for me, I am glad that I made this decision.

 I am starting to think I might just want to take the rest of the year off, so I can continue to focus on my degree and career. The only thing about quitting dance is that I know my mom will not be happy with me, I say that because, she has always supported me dancing since I will three, and she is kind of one of those competitive moms, so I think she is going to be a little disappointing, especially since competition season is here.  Another reason why I don’t want to take the year off is I will probably get really bored not dancing, I have been doing it since I was three I don’t know what it’s going to be like if I take a year off. I just don’t want to make the wrong choice,  I think I need to go with what is right which is to focus on school.
