Re: Managing Grades and Responsibilities While On A FIRST Team

Scheduling is key. I somehow scheduled my classes so that I would have lots of time to do work and a lot of my work is "easy" this semester. However, when push came to shove, robotics was dropped briefly. At L.A. I left early Thursday (shop class--the instructor was at the regional too) and came in late Friday (Calculus). For San Diego, I just arrived around noon Saturday (Calculus again--two bad test scores and it was Thou Shalt Not Miss Another Math Class Unless Absolutely Necessary from my parents). Atlanta was spring break. I also have a roughly scheduled time to work on each group of assignments. (Like right now is in my humanities-type classes time.) This keeps me from having a lot of late nights uless I have something big.
