Did you learn something new? https://www.thefactsite.com/2018/01/friday-facts.html ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() https://www.thefactsite.com/2018/06/make-your-day-last-longer.html I have as busy a schedule as anybody else since I am a 57 year old full time college student. I attend Marshall University in Huntingtton WV where I am in the Regents Bachelor of Arts Program working on a general education degree with an emphasis on psychology. I have found that for each hour I spend in class I need to spend three hours of my own time studying. Since I am in class eight hours per week I spend an additional 24 hours of my own time doing notes, writing papers, and doing homework. In fact I considered uploading my analysis papers for Comparative Politics on here for review but they are property of the college once I turn them in and I do not know if posting them here would be proper. However my day gets to be pretty hectic as well. I am attending a special counseling session, which focuses on time management at school. The counselor is going to help me figure out ways to study and give me tips that may be new to me. One tip I know she will not give me is to pray. I pray faithfully every night prior to going to bed and briefly every morning asking Jesus Christ to send the Holy Spirit to motivate me and give me wisdom in school. I find that this goes farther to help me than anything else I can do. It also helps to want that my narcolepsy is being treated. Narcolepsy is a neurological condition that causes one to fall asleep at all hours. It is treated with stimulants and now that it is treated I find that I am able to stay awake and feel more rested and thus more motivated. Finally my motivation comes from knowing and reading God's word. God's word says that we should do everything we do as if we are working directly for God, because as Christians we represent God on earth. I am the chaplain of the West Virginia Veterans Home where I reside and I know the veterans around me look to me for spiritual leadership. I know they do for many of them have told me so. I am therefore motivated to do my best and read and study anything that will help me better manage my time in an effort to be my best. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
