Metacognitive Reflection

Thus far in this semester, to be completely honest, I have had a ridiculously tough time with fitting our assigned reading into my schedule. Between work 25+ hours a week and attending school full time, having three other very general education courses besides this english 1b class, I'm very busy and find it hard to do everything. While in past semesters I have had this busy of a schedule, it's just something about this current semester that I have been struggling to keep up with my school work, including assigned readings. Typically speaking in previous semesters I have worked with this busy of a schedule and not even thought twice about it; I actually really like being busy. Maybe I'm falling behind because I'm so close to being done at Gavilan that I feel like it's senior year of high school all over again where you get that overwhelming sense of just wanting to be done with schoool already. Or maybe I'm just ready for big change, like moving to LA or Florida and interning with Disney. Or maybe it's both of those reasons in addition to the fact that my mother and I just found out that the house we just recently moved into to rent is foreclosed. The anger and frustration I'm experiencing right now of having to move again after just 7 months of renting at our current house in San Martin, and having to pack up and move again is just simply overwhelming. So those three big reasons in addition to being crazy busy and never seeing my boyfriend has honestly made school fall by the wayside this semester, which is even more frusturating because I'm typically a very good student who does what is expected of her and I get good grades and I try my best, I study for tests and usually read every assigned reading imagineable. But it's just something about this semester that is just getting to be too much. I hope that as soon as we move to our new house in Gilroy within this coming week and a half that I am able to get right back on track and refocus and become that terrific student that I know deep down I am. Wish me luck.
