feeling the heat

college has just begun to get difficult (as of right now). the reason its getting so difficult is because i have so many things to manage and keep track of. I can't afford to slip up because in most classes i don't have the opportunity of being graded frequently like in highschool. this means that if i mess up, i won't have many chances to make up for it, where as in highschool i could literally make up for a mistake the next day. so in october alone i have 4 exams and 2 papers to tackle. so basically im feeling the heat right now. i have already completed one paper, but i now have to manage researching and completing our english paper while trying to find plenty of time to spend preparing for my exams. in the midst of all this there are the daily homework assignments, and in all of my classes i will be literally learning new material up to the last class before the exam. so i have to overlap studying old stuff, while trying to learn the new stuff. at the end of the day its all one massive headache, and it leaves me wondering when i will have time to chill out. Every time i feel like taking it easy i always remember all the crap i have to get done and then i can't really enjoy taking a break, and sometimes i don't take my break and i keep working. so i have discovered that the biggest change from highschool to college is that you have to be an expert at managing your time. i have to manage academics and club basketball with my free time. i never know when its truly appropriate to take breaks. it seems like i could always be studying something, especially music because i don't know anything about what im learning in that class. im honestly screwed in that class. all we have learned about is chinese, japanese, korean, and indian music. all asian words look alike. its insane, i can't tell which one of those first three im reading about. i have never seen so many k's x,y, and z's in a book. october is gonna suck, okay maybe not halloween.
