This week we could pick between two journal prompts: "10 questions I have" or "10 things I want to learn." I found both to be very interesting and challenging at the same time. I figured depending on the way one looked at either of these prompts one could fly through with easy tasks or questions or challenge themselves with tasks or questions that never could be answered. I tend to be the person that asks questions that never can be answered so I chose to do the prompt, "10 things I want to learn."
On my list I'd first like to focus on number one, to learn to speak Spanish fluently. I want to learn speaking Spanish because of my uncle. He lives in Florida and Spanish is his first language, English his second. I have visited him every summer, going on three years now. He is slowly teaching me a variety of simple words and phrases. After my second summer visiting my uncle I decided when I came back to school that I would pursue my Spanish interest.
The next thing on my list I want to learn is better money management skills. I have a MAJOR shopping problem. Every time I get my pay check I feel the need to spend it in a week and that just isn't going to do. As I get older and I have more adult responsibilities I know I cannot do such childish things. I am hoping with learning better money management skills that I can save even better and knock my shopping habit.
Finally, one last thing that I want to learn is how to better manage my time. This semester I am taking eighteen credits, I have two jobs, and I am involved in two clubs, one in which I am the president. This semester has barely started and I already have anxiety about managing my time properly. I know what some of you are thinking, "Don't be so involved. You chose this." Well I hate to break it to you but it is in my nature, I have always been super involved. I think I function better when I am super active but my down fall is time management. Learning to better manage my time will be beneficial in so many ways. For example, I could get my homework done early, be a better president and member to my clubs, and a better overall student.
