Just When I Was Getting Bored

First day of class, I thought to myself, "Becoming a Master Student? Who needs this subject? That's easy." So the weeks passed and I started to become more bored with the subject. I kept telling myself that I should just finish it because I need this course to get my degree.

I've always hated doing homework. I liked doing the journal entries, but I really hate the take home exercises that we were required to do. I remember that our topic at the time was "Planning" and I though to myself, "Another boring topic," and the worst part of it was we were given a homework that we were supposed to do for a whole week; we were required to monitor what we do with our lives everyday from 7am-7pm.

I finished the homework and I felt so relieved. The night before the next class, I examined the activity and saw that I was spending too much time on a lot of stuff that I really don't need. I always sleep until 11am if I had the chance, I watch too much TV, I never do any reading/reviewing in the morning or before class starts, and I never even tried to take at least a minute of my time to stop and pray. After examining the activity, I promised myself that the next week I would try to wake up early (at least 6:30am), and do stuff like exercise, jog, and/or read a book. It worked.

The week after that, i did it again, and I found myself to be more energetic and more active than how I previously was. Since I did some of my homework in the mornings, I had time to hang out with my friends during the afternoon and at night. I felt great about myself for being able to jog (something that I've wanted to do for a loooooong time).

So I'm really glad now that I took this course and for doing that homework. I will always be grateful for having this subject and a great teacher. I will never forget this homework that changed my lifestyle.
