   Do you ever feel that you are just so done with school and it's only September?  Well, that's how I feel. As I am studying, I came up with a great topic to talk about for my blog.  I couldn't wait to begin to write so I am writing to you now.
   It can be one of the worst feelings a student can have.  Feeling stressed, having anxiety, and feeling nervous.  That is how I am most of the time in and out of school.  I become filled with butterflies in the pit of my stomach 24/7.  I am constantly thinking "if I get a bad grade."  Don't ever, ever think that before you approach a test/quiz.  If you prepared for the test and there was absolutely nothing else you could have studied or reviewed, move on.  If you received a poor test score but you studied so hard, move on.  My motto in school is STM.  See the grade, talk about the grade, move forward.  You can't see that you received a poor grade and not even discuss it with your teacher.  The moving forward part goes all back to "learning from your mistakes."
    I am now coming to the conclusion that if I set reachable goals for myself, I can have a successful school year.  That is if I attempt to accomplish my goals.  One of my goals that I set for myself this year was to not procrastinate "as much."  I don't really count blogging as procrastinating only because it is somewhat "educational."  Also, don't set a goal like, "I want to get straight A+'s."  I never even set a goal like I want to get straight A's only because you just never know if there is a subject that could be a weakness for you and actually obtaining a B in the class could actually good for you in that moment. 
    Lastly (because I need to get back to studying LOL), I am now making a list of the things I need to do when I get home.  This works for me because lets say I get home from tennis (I play tennis for the school) at 6.  I need to eat dinner.  That would be an hour and now it's 7 but I must keep in mind that I also need to shower.  I will write down all of the written homework that is due for the next day down.  Then I will write SHOWER.  Under that I write all of the studying and things that were assigned but are not due the next day.  This levels out the things I can accomplish in a short amount of time.
    I hope I helped and could relate to some of you reading this!!!!
