Week 3: Neglect
Not everything turned out too well this week. It seems that my own incompetence and carelessness have brought me more trouble than I could handle.
I focused too much on "HOW TO BE HAPPY" - as a result, I have neglected some vital aspects in my life.
MMORPG vs. StudiesWho haven't heard the tales of the endless war that these two wage.
Destiny Online is so addicting. The cute graphics, simple gameplay, and uber-amusing missions and quests made me stay for several hours everyday. But even with it, I was not satisfied. I downloaded two more MMORPGs (Atlantica Online and Perfect World) just so I can get maximum satisfaction.
Turns out, playing TOO much of these games robbed TOO much of my time that's supposed to be spent studying.
Due to this, I almost got a failing mark on our recent Asian Civilization test. I had a little trouble our Stats, SocialPsych, and Zoology quizzes too.
Not only that, I've been dozing out an awful lot on my classes as well. Playing up until 1am surely isn't good for one's rest schedule.
There's no other solution here but to lessen my gaming. I know its gonna be tough, considering how "heated" I am with the games, but Midterm examination is just around the corner. Gotta pull myself together.
Screwed the Gym HomeworkOk, this one's immensely serious.
There's no problem for me if what I am only going to deal with are studies and written projects, but physical workout...well, that's another issue.
Our professor in Adaptive PE told us we're not going to conduct our class for the week to give way for our week-long set of projects, one of which includes a visit to the gym to conduct a workout program consisting of 50 sets of workout exercises.
I committed a mortal sin called "Planning Fallacy", cocking out that I will be able to deal with the exercises 3 days before the submission of workout report. I DIDN'T EXPECT GYM SESSIONS WOULD BE THAT HARD.
...or perhaps I just visited the wrong gym, which was a rundown, limited-spaced gym with a "im-not-sure-if-he's-really-pro" gym instructor who has a smaller body than me.
Now I've only got two days...and we know how gym workouts hurt on the succeeding days. I have to take this seriously, else I MIGHT get transferred back into Swimming.
Have You Forgotten You're the SECRETARY???PREX-related problem here.
I was assigned to a lot of tasks for the next seminar...well, just as everybody, I guess.
I dunno...perhaps its just the feeling of pressure getting too much into me. We've only got 12 members organizing the next event, and we're supposed to get 25+ participants for the seminar. We need to collect funds, figure out how and which meals will be served, deal with the morale of the participants to motivate them to stay and complete the 3-day seminar.
I guess pressure is normal, as far as organizing an event is concerned. But dealing with it is something that I need to work on, and fast, else, there won't be any more reliable people who can support our president.
=====================
So yeah, learned some valuable lessons this week.
1. Prioritize the MORE important stuff.
2. Never get to cocky with stuff you are not sure of.
3. Be responsible with the roles and tasks given to you.
I won't be committing the same mistakes this week. That I promise. n_n
