End of Spring quarter


It is the end of Spring quarter, you should take a few minutes to reflect on your goals for the quarter and how it went in reaching them. Really think about how long it took you to write, and research the various sections you worked on. Consider what is realistic for you for next quarter? Keep in mind that it will be summer, you will be invited to parties, kids may be home from school, you may want to take a vacation. As you have probably come to realize, it is important to be realistic in your goal for each quarter, because reaching the goal; determines your grade. 

I want to encourage you to take some time off during break, get away from school related issues for at least a couple of days. Give yourself permission to do this without any guilt. You will come back with a renewed approach and perhaps a clearer head. 

Begin thinking about your goals for Summer quarter. Lay out a weekly plan, keep it realistic; taking into account travel and time with family. Renew your commitment to make progress over the quarter. 

Next time I will talk about getting a U in dissertation.  Do you have an issue or a question that you would like me to discuss in a future post? Would you like to be a guest writer? Send me your ideas! leann.stadtlander@waldenu.edu
