Off on another week; I am still getting into the grove of things. School, band, and work are always difficult to balance at the same time.
This past week I gave a presentation on Git and it was enjoyable. Professional presentations are always good to practice and I was glad to have this opportunity. I was really nice to do it twice in one day. I was able to tweak part to be the most helpful to my fellow students.
The main reason for the presentation was to give a helping hand in starting with git. It can be slightly daunting to jump into if you haven’t used it before; even more so when you have to use it for a grade. I know I learned a thing or two by creating the presentation, and from the questions that people asked.
This coming week the first project of the class is due. I have been meeting my milestones, but tonight will be long again. I am very tired from a long day with the UT band in Utah (got in to Austin at 5 a.m. this morning), and I am stuck on silly bug. It’s almost like writers block. It should not take long to figure out, but I know that it very well could. I just need to preserver and get it done so that I don’t fall behind.
I am not yet as efficient with balancing all my school work for this year, but one of my major goals this semester is to not leave things to the last minute. Even though this is my fourth year, it is always something I have battled. Procrastination is a difficult thing to get rid of. Being very efficient with scheduling and getting work done is like working out. Once you are used to it, things always get easier to maintain.
