Swimming: Officially Done!


I have finally caught up with swimming homework, and now I am officially done with swimming for the year. It is a relief but I am rushing Alpha Kappa Psi, which I feel takes up more time than swimming ever did. Now that I am done with swimming though, I can see how useful it was in time managing. Knowing that I had to go to swim practice made me do my homework before I had to go to practice because I knew that I would be tired afterward and not have the energy to do it all. Swimming also made me work out, which helps immensely in causing a distraction from your work. It also releases endorphins, which make you happy. Now, I don’t have to go work out so I do not nearly as much as I did during swimming. This is hard but nice because I do not have to spend a lot of time away from my schoolwork, but I also do not get that same benefit as I did when I was working out. The school year is getting close to being done; we only have about a month and a half left, which is scary because I have so much to do in that little amount of time. I know I will get it all done though!

After Conference

Last week could have counted as the worst week I have had in terms of how stressful it was. Catching up with homework was the hardest. I missed Tuesday through Friday of class two weeks ago in order to go to the SCAC Swimming and Diving Championships in Louisville, Kentucky and I really missed a lot. I had a test, a take home assignment, a paper, and all of the normal homework that I normally have. Combined, I would say it was the busiest week of school so far for me but the week before we left could have been ranked as the busiest week as well. That wasn’t the only part though. I was also rushing the business fraternity, Alpha Kappa Psi, and I had to do all my interviews (around 30!) last week. My schedule went like this; wake up, prepare for interviews, run to class, do interviews, re-do my resume and cover letter when I finished interviewing (normally it was around 10:00 PM), then begin homework, and finally go to bed at around 2:00 AM or 3:00 AM. Finally though, I am all caught up and finished with rushing Alpha Kappa Psi so hopefully from now on, it will be easier to keep up.
