JOURNAL TOPIC: ["Save it for Later" by The English Beat; "Waiting for a
Miracle" by Leonard Cohen; "If Not Now..." by Tracy Chapman]
Yesterday I talked with Ms. Dirkes about procrastination and I
learned a great deal. Part one of this morning's journal is
traditional-- please meditate on the nature of procrastination. Ask
yourself when it helps you, when it hurts you, and how you can be aware
of it and manage it so that it doesn't feel like a(nother) overwhelming
force in your life that you can't control.
Part two should be written on a separate piece of paper so that I can
read it today (don't want to procrastinate on a procrastination!).
Please describe your process for preparing for next year. This may
include college applications/deadlines, job searches, travel etc. After
reading this document I should come away with a clear understanding of:
a) how you plan to use the year, b) what you are currently doing to
prepare, and c) how you intend to meet deadlines (include descriptions
of what you have to do and the resources/planning you'll need to execute
your plan).
