When I moved into an empty dorm(宿舍) for the first time two years ago, I was certain of a few
things. Firstly, I realized that I didn't 1 anybody at the school.
Secondly, I knew that I wanted to work hard at my lessons and 2
something useful. And thirdly, I wanted to have a good time with new
classmates, without my parents around.
The first 3 frightened me in the beginning. But that 4
quickly disappeared. It was the other two goals 5 ended up being my
difficulties. I knew that it was 6 to devote enough time to class and to
social efforts. But I wanted to 7 in
both. I knew this would be a 8, but I didn't realize how much until
classes began.
I got on well with the other girls who lived in my dorm. 9,
instead of finishing my homework
10 it was due, I went upstairs and had ice cream with my neighbour.
I always finished it the next day between classes. I knew 11 wasn't very
good and the grade I 12 showed my lack of effort.
I was 13 that I needed to find some sort of balance.
So I created a schedule(时间表)that would 14 my time up between going to class,
doing homework, and relaxing(放松). It seemed like a good idea, 15 I was only able
to 16 it for a few days. A schedule like that was too much pressure.
So I tried another 17. Each week I made a list of
everything I had to get done during that week. Then, under the list of things I
had to get done, I 18 a
list of things I could do if I had time.
This is the method I have used since then. I'm glad that I've
learned to 19 things and it has 20 prepare me for what is to come
after graduation.
