Where Did The Time Go?

Over the course of an entire week from Thursday, September 19, 2013, through Wednesday, September 29, 2013, my Inquiry class had an assignment to track down the hours of the day and create a chart of the activities done during each hour.  The time study chart enabled me to see my habits over a span of time and what I do throughout the day.  It showed me how I spend my time here at Southern and what I need to keep doing, and what to do differently.  Every week I spend fifteen hours in class and this week I spent thirty-eight hours on homework.  A student should spend about six hours on homework and studying outside of the classroom so I am spending the appropriate amount of time on my assignments.  Homework and sleeping take up a lot of my time because I need to ensure that I earn good grades at school.  I tend to do my homework and assignments as soon as they are assigned because I set times to do it in advance so I can have social time on the weekend.  I spent Monday night attending a sorority event and Friday night I attended the Southern Connecticut State University Football Game.  I like spending time with family and friends on the weekends.

I will continue to manage my time in a more beneficial way to maximize my productivity.  I learned a good lesson from the Time Study assignment because it showed me the bigger picture of a typical week here for me at Southern.  This assignment helped me apply a schedule to the rest of the semester and my college years because now I know how I spend my time and what to do differently.   After examining the chart, I realized I do spend a lot of time on homework and I also have balanced social time.  I believe that this assignment can be beneficial to any person in life, not just a student because it can help someone to spend their time more constructively.
