It's New Years Resolution Time

Hey everyone, it’s Julie here again!
It’s that time again, when the calendars change and resolution talks are up in the air. I thought really hard about a resolution that I could make this year (and that I wouldn’t break!). I picked to do better in school. (Hopefully I achieve it! ha)

There are so many resources here at the mount that can help me achieve this resolution. My professors are really easy going and flexible for meetings and extra help. I’m not afraid to say I don’t understand. The mount has a writing resource center which can help me with all my essays that I will need to write. I can even take a workshop on procrastinating!

There a good thing the libraries are open late – because that’s where I’ll be if I’m not in class! The library staff is very helpful and friendly if I need help with information or just finding a book!

Another key thing I’m sure that will help me is to be organized! I have already bought my books (the Students’ Union has a great book fair going on, in with you support your students’ union and your fellow students!). The next step is to get my binders organized! Good thing the book store has tons of binders and school supplies!

One thing I’ll be sure to do is visit my academic advisor. Mine always makes sure that I’m on track in my program & gives me helpful tips and suggestions! They are a lifesaver!

These are just a few ideas that I have so far to getting the grades I want. I’ll update you guys and tell you how I’m doing! Oh! And if you guys have any tips or suggestions, reply to this message or go to the mount fan page or thinking the mount in 2010 page! J
