Welcome to Week 6!听
Today we passed the 9 hours of daylight mark here in the Interior of 有料盒子视频. It feels
wonderful. We are gaining at nearly 7 minutes per day and fast marching toward the
bright warmth of spring. Sometimes it doesn鈥檛 feel that way but have faith. Gloriously
warm and bright days are coming!
Time is racing but don鈥檛 go wishing your days away! Within a heartbeat you鈥檒l be staring
down the halfway point in our semester adventure, launching into spring break, and
then racing to the end of the term. It is happening that fast. Time to focus and lay
down your best performance. Your work each day matters so much; it is all about the
accumulation of effort toward your goal.
Speaking of which, what is your plan for mid-terms? Are you going to do better than
you鈥檝e ever done before? What worked last time? What strategies were less successful?
Did you hit the books with friends, try a study group, or maybe have a family member
quiz you? What is your game? Consider yourself a pro athlete, and just like professional
athletes, there is a lot of science behind what works well on mid-terms. Here are
from the Princeton Review.
As I mentioned last week, this is Spring Career Fair Week! You can connect with potential employers, explore career paths, and expand your
