I have found that my\u00a0strengths as an online learner have be my\u00a0diligence\u00a0and lack of\u00a0procrastination.\u00a0\u00a0I do have to admit there were several projects that came down to the wire but it had to do with time\u00a0constraints\u00a0and\u00a0pressure\u00a0to commitments to the outside world. I have had to say No a lot, but it does become more and more difficult as the term progresses.\u00a0Taking\u00a0what I have learned about time\u00a0constraints I plan to be more active in my planning of my term from the beginning. Before the first day of class I will set a rough schedule for the term in conjunction with work and family.<\/p>\n
I am creating a new office where i can establish the ideal learning environment for myself. Next term will hopefully be a lot smoother when I do not have to hunt for places to get work done.<\/p>\n
I am still not sure about how I feel about resources\u00a0available\u00a0to me from OSU, honestly I love my\u00a0adviser\u00a0and she has been very helpful with my\u00a0success\u00a0so far. I really do feel I am out here on my own, but I know that is more of my doing. If I do need assistance I now know where to look. The areas I am most interested in take up more time that I am able to give at this point in my life. I am looking forward to contributing\u00a0to my school upon completion of my degree.<\/p>\n
My goal for next term is to not lose focus. I recently got one of my top 3 jobs I wanted upon graduation. I was not prepared to start working full time before the completion of my degree, but I have to. I could not pass up this\u00a0opportunity\u00a0and I cannot miss out on\u00a0receiving\u00a0my degree, I am one year one term away. My plan is to not look to\u00a0receive\u00a0all A’s like I have in the past but to push for strong B’s and be ok with C’s. This is very hard for me, but I need to find a balance with the two. Next term is full time work, full time family and full time school; if I am to take this on I have to be realistic and evaluate what my\u00a0priorities\u00a0are at the\u00a0beginning\u00a0of the term. I am taking this summer off from school, and next fall I will\u00a0evaluate\u00a0if it is possible based on how difficult spring term is.<\/p>\n

Good luck all in your future ventures!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
