Jan Plan is finally winding to a close as today was my last day of pottery (tear, tear). It’s very hard to think about having four classes again, but I think everyone looks forward to having more of a schedule moving forward. My friends that don’t play a winter sport always tell me how jealous they are of me that I have something to do. I mean, how many seasons of “The O.C.,” “24,” and “Friday Night Lights” can one person possibly stand to watch?
Although at first it was challenging to balance basketball with academic life, going to the gym becomes a sort of break from the monotony of library cubicles and classrooms. I really welcomed having a set schedule that I could do homework and study and a time that I could run around and have fun. At first, I worried that long bus rides would mean no time to do work. However, the bus becomes a pretty quiet place to study and there is usually someone on the team who has taken the class that you are studying for. Also, if you’re not the type of person that can do work on a bus, away games force you to get all your work done earlier. I think I ended up writing better papers and studying more for exams because I did not have the option of leaving all my work for the night before. Instead, I did it all before the bus rides and I was able to relax more and sleep. (In retrospect, my ability to find extra time to sleep has become a pretty common theme in these entries!)
