Biggest Management Problem

My biggest management problem that I will face this semester will be time management. My concern is that I may not be able to balance everything that I will try to take on this semester, meaning that I want to be able to fit everything I plan to do and use my time wisely so that I don't miss out or mess up on anything. Along with full time classes, I intend to work and take part in "extracurricular" activities that would essentially take up any and all time I may have. Trying to make time and putting effort into everything is going to use up every ounce of energy I have and therefore would probably make this Spring semester the hardest yet.
Another big time management problem that I will need to deal with is waking up and getting to my morning class, ON TIME. No matter how early I wake up, whether I give myself an extra hour or 20 minutes less, I somehow always manage to get to school late. I just can't seem to figure out just what it is I do that always manages to make me late. My guess is that I sub-consciously sabotage things so that I am never on time. Anyway...
Trying to find the balance between between my family, school, "extracurricular" activities, and work (I hope), is going to be very challenging and is definitely going to take awhile despite how hard I may try. I just hope that I will be able to successfully manage the chaos to come and make it out in one piece.

About Me:

I've never really blogged before I guess, unless you call the Xanga fad a few years ago blogging, but I just always found blogging to be quite mundane and boring unless you have something that's actually interesting to tell others about. Anyways, before I bore you to death with the rest of this, I guess I should introduce myself. My name Jia H. Li, the "H" is not a middle name but part of my first name because chinese people are like that.. most of the time, and I find that having that "H" in there makes my name seem more professional, but it really doesn't. All my friends call me Daniel because growing up I never used my "real" chinese name, just Daniel. Because of that I sometimes forget about my "real" name. Which is Jia, in case you were wondering or missed that or want to keep reading this ridiculous sentence that I'm going to run on and on and on and on for about another twenty or so words because that's just the kind of person I am and because it fun to know someone might actually be reading this useless run on and on and on and on sentence.

I don't think I have direction in life to this point because I'm just going through school just because. I initially wanted to take a year off after graduating from high school and see what it was that I wanted to do with my life. After half a year working, I finally decided to quit my jobs (that's right, I held TWO jobs just so I wouldn't be wasting time) and continue my education because I felt that was important to me. And so, here I am writing a blog for the "first" time for the MGT 3120 class. Hopefully the people who do read this, will come to find something of interest in my blog posts, thank you for reading this far. And on and on and on...
