Re: Anyone else having trouble keeping up with work?
And here I thought you were talking about a Job. Well in any case. From January 10, 2004 till the end of the season you will always have a problem with school work. I know I did. Like many others have posted it's all about multi tasking and time management. Espicially if your a senior and on the road to graduating. Priortize and you'll have no problem. Do the easy stuff during your school day (maybe during lunch) that way the hard stuff is left till the end of the day.
I did whatever HW I could during my classes or did it in bulk when the teacher gave me the opportunity to that way I could concentrate on robotics w/o having to worry about missing any CW or HW.
As for tests well the only advice is put the Game Manual down and Pick up the text book. See if you can take the test early and that way you'll have some time left to work on robotics issues.
Mid-Terms / Finals there is no way to re-schedule or take them earlier then state regulations so just take them and get it out of the way. Remember it could be worse.
Like I said it's all about time management and the ability to multi task. If you learn these 2 now you'll be able to continue to work for a FIRST team forever.
