Bridal Fair

Every year in my local area they have a Bridal Fair where all the local vendors and venues will come and set up booths to advertise their business. Every year I always want to go, but I've never had a reason to go. I wasn't getting married, I wasn't even engaged. Well this year I actually get to go, and I'm the bride-to-be! I'm so excited! Even though our wedding isn't until next year, I love to plan ahead so being able to meet different possible vendors will be great! Another great thing is I am going with my two best friends! Hopefully after going to the Bridal Fair today I'll be able to check some things off of my wedding checklist!

 

Here's an example of what my checklist looks like. It's not identical, but it is very similar.

 

Have any of you been to a Bridal Fair in your area?

Here Lately

So I feel like I haven't written a blog post in forever (probably cause it has been)! This semester was going very well, and by well I mean calm, until about a month ago. It seemed as if all of our assignments and projects were due at the same time! They really weren't, but it all was only a few days apart. I have learned that I struggle with managing my time. I have the best intentions to get an assignment done, but then I suddenly have no time and I either haven't started or I barely got anything done. Time management is a weakness of mine. Another problem I'm having is sleeping irregularly. I feel like I can fall asleep at the drop of a hat. I just can't stay awake anymore and I think it's because I'm always in a rush and my body just can't keep up.

My point is between trying to get school work completed and my personal life I'm just running out of time in a day. I'm also exhausting myself each day, which causes me to fall asleep constantly. I need to really slow down and smell the roses as the saying goes.

Does anybody else feel like this happens to them too?

Stressful

Well this week is only my second week of school and I'm already beginning to stress out. The first couple of weeks are very stressful for me because we are given so much information about all of our classes at once. It's a lot of information to take in at once!

I have two major goals for this semester of school: to not procrastinate (possibly get ahead if I can), and to stay organized.

If I can maintain these goals throughout the semester I think it will easily keep my stress level down.

 

 I have four resources that really help me remain organized and on top of things.

 

1. Planner

 

 

I use my planner constantly! I would say mine is a medium size planner. It's not a pocket size, but it's not a large one either. I love it because it fits perfectly into my purse, but I am currently switching to a large monthly calendar. I need more room to write my assignments. I purchased this planner at Walmart.

 

2. Homework Notebook

 

 

A homework notebook is a new thing for me. I thought it would be good to have a notebook where I can list everything that's due for each class together on the same page. This will help me be able to easily glance and see what assignments I have due for the following week. As you can see I do not have much wrote down, but I'm sure I will soon considering school has just began.

 

3. Notebook Binder with Tab Dividers

 

 

An organized notebook is a necessity for any class in my opinion. Tab dividers make it so easy to quickly put away or find an assignment or handout.

 

4. Be Prepared

 

 

 I take this pencil pouch to all f my classes. I keep it fully stocked with different colored pens and highlighters. I use the different pens when taking notes in class because I try to only use my highlighters when my teacher is reviewing for a test. I also keep sticky notes and little tab page markers in there too. They help me keep up with what page in my books have important information.

How do you handle the first few days of school? What do you do to stay organized?
