Time Strategies

Time management is very important for me to get my assignments done on time, or even early. I plan to work on assignments for this class at least 4 days a week. I want to work a solid 1-2 hours every one of those days to get my work done and also get ahead if possible. I have found what works for me is to create a schedule, whether the schedule changes weekly or daily. In Amanda Collins Realistic Study Plans, I learned to set goals for what I want to achieve. Another aspect of Collin's work I liked was repetition. I find that I work best and focus more when I am going through my work as a routine. Another article I found interesting was Jory Mackay's The Important Habit of Just Starting. I interpreted this article bringing in the idea of procrastination. The guilt from not starting an assignment is often worse than actually starting and working on said assignment. I found that I relate to this idea as I am so bad about procrastinating. After reading through these 2 articles, and others, I plan and hope to stick to my schedule created at the beginning of the semester to stay ahead in this class and on assignments.

Introduction to a future PA

Hi everyone, my name is Lindsey. I am a junior here at the University of Oklahoma. I am originally from the Dallas, TX area much like a big portion of the students here at OU. My major is Health and Exercise Science, pre-PA. I have always been interested in sports and sport related injuries so I plan to become a PA for an orthopedic surgeon. The coolest thing about being a Health and Exercise Science major, or any major that is on a medical track, is that you have to take anatomy here at the university. The really unique thing about OU's anatomy course is that it is with cadaver. While that may freak most people out, the opportunities OU students have with having a cadaver experience really help for later admission into medical and graduate programs. Out of all my classes I have taken so far, that class would have to be the most challenging but also the coolest experience. As I said earlier, I am a big sports girl and root for all the Dallas teams, the Dallas Stars and...

Week 13 Story: Simba The Silent

In the lands of Africa, there was a big rock in which was ruled by lions. There once was a small lion cub... well at least he looked like a lion cub. We'll call him Simba and he was the son of the king lion. Simba had always been different from the other cubs. His parents knew he was different and Simba knew he was different, but they kept his specialness to themselves. If the other animals found out then Simba could not be the heir to the throne, but Simba was a social butterfly and was always around the other cubs. He was always playing with the other lion cubs and causing a ruckus. One day they were playing hide and seek. Simba was the last cub hiding and the other cubs had no idea where he was. Simba had the element of surprise on his side and he wanted to frighten the others. So he inhaled a big, huge breath and opened his mouth, preparing to let out the loudest and scariest roar any of the cubs had ever heard. Except that loud, scary roar is not what came out. Instead, the n...
