Midterm Struggles

I have a tendency of becoming nervous and having anxiety as deadlines approach their end. A perfect example is currently happening with my intro to computer science study guide. The professor has been kind enough to provide us with a study guide to prepare the students for the midterm and I'm thankful for it. I do not know if I'm the only student struggling to find answers for this 50 question study guide, but I'm having a hard time so far. Some of the wording in the questions are not matching what I'm looking for in the textbook. So for now I'm skipping the questions that I can not find and moving to easier questions to at least try to feel somewhat accomplish for the day.

I'm back at tackling the same study guide after a good nights sleep and date night with my wonderful husband. He has taken time to help me out by giving me some suggestions to find answers for the intro to computer science study guide. So far it is working and I am finding answers by picking keywords out of the question and using the reference pages in the end of the book to direct me towards the pages with the specified subject matter. Happy to have completed one study guide I shall move onto the next with a new knowledge of how to tackle the next one!

Midpoint of the semester!

This first semester has been full of excitement in school and at home. I have made the acquaintance of very nice people in all of my classes. Some of them have helped me out this semester and some I have helped. I truly appreciate the help from those that have been there to offer me advice and help push me in the right direction on assignments!

This week has been crack down and study for midterms. Home has kept this week full with doctor appointments, however everything still fits in my week. Scheduling has been important this semester and has helped me see the gaps that need improvement. I am also transitioning my weekly written planner to link a virtual calendar with my email in hopes of moving one step closer to preparing for online management of projects.

I wish you all luck with the rest of your time in college! It's been fun!  :)
