It's official, I have a problem...

It's Sunday, the end of week 9. But like last week, I had to do all of my work at the last minute. I have to do better!! I am not going to become the best court reporter ever if I keep cramming at the end. I have to make time to practice and do all of my homework. Ugghh!! I must do better! This week I have started going to the gym and babysitting everyday. I will just have to make time. So, today starts week 10, I only have 2 weeks left for this semester. I'm excited! But I must do better! Well, not alot to talk about, just frustrated!!

End of Week 8 and I'll be working late!

Hey all! So its the end of week 8, and I have a lot of catching up to do. I hate this!! I said I wasnt going to procrastinate and here I am again, trying to cram in everything and turn it in by midnight. I've decided that I'm going to write down a daily schedule to keep me on track and see how that works out. As always I added something else to my "To Do List." I got a gym membership this week so now "Operation Hot Body"  will start next week. I just need to prioritize and stick to it. I just took my medical terminology text and got a 92 on it. As long as I stay in the A range on all of my tests I'll be happy.(which I have done) So I have 4 weeks left in this semester..woo hoo!! I just have to do beter and spread my work out during the week and not cram at the end. So tonight I will be trying to master the 'ED' ending and the 'ING' ending. We will see how this goes and all of my work for the week has to be turned in my midnight tonight. That means I have about 10 lessons to complete...uugggh...such a procrastinator! I have to do better in order to be one of the best! Hope everyone out there had a great week and stayed cool. It was super hot here in Memphis. Week 9.....must...do...better! I'm sure there are some spelling errors and over use of commas in this blog as well :/

Week 8! ...Im going to be like wine, gets finer with time!

 So this is the beginning of week 8, each semester is 12 weeks long. We just started on numbers last week. I should warn everyone ahead of time, I am working on my punctuation and grammar. My mentor gave me a great book that helps with commas and semi colons because I will put a comma in anywhere...lol. So punctuation is definately something that I need to improve on.  I just finished practicing and well..I have a long way to go. I finally took a big step and decided to wear my natural nails. When I worked as a flight attendant I always had a french manicure which included tips. So now I have just sucked it and realized long nails are not going to work for me anymore. And I have to admit it is much easier with shorter nails.
   I'll be honest and admit that I have been known as the queen of procrastination. Well those days are over, I have got to make time to practice everyday consistently. I resigned from the airline so I would have more time to focus on my school work...and did that happen??? Not yet! So starting this week, August 15th, 2010 I WILL NOT PROCRASTINATE! If I want to be the best I have to do what it takes.
  Since I'm in online classes I dont have anyone who really relates to the court reporting field, except my wonderful mentor :)  So it's just going to be me and the machine. (thats a pretty good blog name) and of course my readers, if I ever get any..lol. Well, so long for now. I am going to try to write as often as possible (I WILL NOT PROCRASTINATE) that maybe everyday, once a week or once a month, so we will see.
