Week 1 (Wellness 1: March 3-9, 2008)

The fitness aspect of this course was easier to completed than the wellness part. I had to finish all of unit two's assignment this week along with two discussion forums, an exam and a writing assignment for my other classes. My family and I are going to Pennsylvania for my cousin Sara's birthday so I needed to finish all of this before the weekend. I have a discussion forum and a writing assignment to finish up tomorrow before we leave for Pennsylvania in the afternoon. It's been stressful trying to finish all my work so that I can have time to study for my exams. I have two that I planned on taking this week but because of all the work piled up on me this week I have no choice but to take them next week. With spring break coming up I have no idea what the testing centers schedule is for next week. If you all have any idea please let me know, and thanks in advance.

The stress technique I used this week was managing my work overload. I bought a small calendar that also doubles as a monthly planner to better organize what assignments I will be completing during the week. I wrote down all my classes and the week each course was in during the beginning of each week because its easier to keep track of them this way. I also wrote down all the assignments I was supposed to have completed this week but because I didn't finish some on time my schedule got backed up. I plan to fix this next week by keeping my schedule realistic so that I won't have an overwhelming amount of things I need to complete altogether.
