April Twelve Two Thousand Twelve

It was another strenuous day of sitting through lectures and trying to grasp some information while maintaining to stay awake. The day began with the alarm ringing at 7 am and me not wanting to get out of my bed. When I finally managed to do so, I got myself into the gym around 730 and began my daily workout to start off the day. This helps me with stress relief accumulated from school work.

My 11 am law class was an interesting one as my professor spoke about indecency for 75 minutes where we discussed our views on the public usage of curse words and offensive language in general through media. As I leaned my head against the wall while struggling to stay awake, I overcame the temptations and kept my eyes open throughout the lecture. Success.

At 1 pm, my Business Administration class consisted of tests that are assigned to future employees such as a drug test, psychology test, etc. Another moment of sleepiness tried to overcome me as I placed my head on the table, ready to shut my eyes for whatever was left of the lecture. Again, I managed to snap out of it and continue on with the lecture.

My last class of the day, I had to make a presentation and without really practicing it, like I should have, I busted through it and I think I did a fine job. My presentation was about Physical Education and the Curricular Issues in Elementary School. As a matter of fact, here is the link to My Presentation.

The rest of the day consisted of driving and basketball practice. As I reflect upon this day, I think to myself, "will what I did today, help me move toward what my goals are for the future?" And, fortunately, I can say yes. Whether it was exercise to better my personal health, lecture sessions to improve my knowledge on the course, or basketball practice, I spent a productive day in working towards being the person that I hope to be.
