Get Organized!

It is hard to believe that tomorrow is the start of the 2nd semester. I know it is not on the top of your list, but one recommendation is to spend a little time getting organized for the start of the second semester. Go through your materials from first semester. Store information that is interesting and will be potentially useful to you in the future from semester classes that are now over. For year-long classes, keep your first semester materials, but review your papers, notes, and handouts to see if you need to continue carrying it to school or if you could store it at home until closer to final exam time. Clean out your bookbag, take a critical look at what you have and consider what you will need for second semester. Make a list of supplies you need - new folders, binders, papers, pencils/ pens, etc. and try to get them as soon as possible so that you start the semester off on a positive note. If organization is a struggle for you, remember that I am available (as are the academic assistants in Room 209) to help you with new organization strategies that might work out better.
