No.64: The Biggest Mistake

The biggest mistake I ever made and I am still making is not working hard toward the end of the quarter because I start to get bored with the classes that I am taking. I am all excited when I do the course scheduling and am really looking forward to the new quarter. And by the new quarter starts, I am all excited to go to the class and learn everything about it. However, I think it’s after the midterms, to give the exact time, that I start to lose interesting in the courses and begin not to work hard both inside and outside of class. I know I should not stop working hard even when I have lost interesting, but I cannot help it. I start to push to do everything until it is almost the due day and of course, the quality of the homework is low. Sometimes, I lose interest in a course not because I do not like the material taught in the class, just because there are so many things to do for that class. And every time I think of the homework or the things I have to do for that class, I have a headache and cannot keep my mind on it. I am an easily distracted person, so that can count toward a second reason why I stop working hard at the end of the quarter. Too many things going on around campus and among my friends and they make it hard to concentrate on my study. I am a board member of a student organization here and we have a meeting every week. So that kind of takes some time off from me and makes me distracted more. Actually, I do not think this is the biggest mistake I made or still making, it is one of the flaws in my character.
