Free Write-Three Questions

I found this assignment to be difficult at first because I didn't really know what I wanted to write about or look for towards my project 3 paper.

Free Write-Where I Am At/Where I Will Be At

Right now, my mind has already transitioned to spring break. I'm excited to have a week off, but I'm having a hard time finishing off this week strong. I've been good at handling my stress lately, but the one thing I need to work on is making sure I get my reading done for my classes. During spring break, I plan to do a lot of work. The week I come back from break, I have three tests and two papers due, so I need to prepare for these over my week off. Once I come back from break, there will be only six weeks left until the end of the semester. I need to make sure I stay on top of everything and not become a procrastinator.
