According to my memory, my most recent moment of adaptation happened on September 18th.
\nTime decided to pick up an accelerated speed, which was a change I was not ready for.
\nI\u2019ve always had a habit of biting off more than I can chew, which I know isn\u2019t good, but I always
\nseemed to finish chewing before the timer went off. Well, the timer that began on September
\n18th at around 9:20am when I woke up, then ended at 11:59pm, the same day–and honestly I
\nwasn\u2019t finished chewing. I had three assignments due that night, and only one was turned in on
\ntime (the movement response assignment for this class that we had to record).
\nI then had to switch gears and go into save mode, because I needed to save myself from
\nfulfilling my assignments and deadlines any later. I emailed professors, spoke to my peers, and
\nhad a little talk with myself as well. Most of my adaptation came from emotions, and the help of
\nothers. I always appreciate the help of others and am incredibly grateful for it. In addition to that,
\nI used my emotions of anger that I wasn\u2019t able to fulfill deadlines as I usually would like, as well
\nas my emotions of motivation from being challenged. This is what pushed me to continue and
\novercome the fact that time was no longer my friend this day.
\nI can\u2019t control time, but it definitely can affect me, which it did. Thankfully, it didn\u2019t take too long
\nfor me to adapt, but it definitely caused me to move at a faster pace and make schedule
\nchanges that I usually wouldn\u2019t have to make.
\n\u201cTime waits on no one,\u201d my mom would always tell me. And she\u2019s absolutely right. Whatever we
\ndo, we must be considerate of time. Not operate solely by time, because energy is also
\nimportant, but be mindful of time.
\nAfter this experience, I\u2019ve begun to use my planner more to keep me updated on deadlines and
\nevents. I\u2019ve also kept close with friends and peers in my classes and they give me subtle
\nreminders as well. I\u2019ve also started extending my minute of relaxation to 5 minutes and after this
\nrelaxation I begin writing my to-do list and reminding myself about the assignments I need to
\ncomplete.
\nI am comfortable with my ability to adapt and while my skills have improved, they\u2019re ultimately
\nnot perfect or as close to perfect as I desire them to be. I will continue to work on adapting and
\nbeing more clear with my intentions, not only to those around me but to myself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
