Having more time on my hands

Today was the first day that I didn’t have dance on Monday in a really long time all because of cutting back on my classes. And to be honest, it felt great. I managed to take a short nap after my classes were over, studied for my exam and did all of my homework. The best part about today was I still had plenty of time to do whatever else I needed to do, and that usually never happens to me.  I love this feeling of getting my work done early, trying to pursue my career, and having time on my hands.

 I am so glad that I made the decision of cutting back from 12 classes to 6 classes.  So I now dance only on Wednesdays and Thursdays. I have dance 3 classes each day and get out of dance at 8. The only thing that I still don’t like about going dance is that I have to drive all the way to Alexandria which is about 45 minutes away  from my house, and plus traffic. So that takes up about an hour for me, in the amount of time I could be doing homework.

Now that I have cut back on my dance classes and have started to manage my time I think I want to start applying for a part time job, but not just yet. I think I want to wait a couple of more weeks to see how I am really feeling. I just hope I don’t stress myself out again and then have to have time management problems again.  But if I could get a job that I could work about three times a week because that would be great.

Reading Time Management has helped realized that I did make the right decision.  For example, I made my goals, “which give a framework for motivation.” My goals are that I want to achieve are focusing on school more and getting my degree. I am very excited to see how this week is going to go, I hope I will have a lot more time on my hands and be able to get things done early and not at the last minute.
