When I moved into an empty dormitory (宿舍) for the first time two years ago, I was sure of a few things. Firstly, I realized that I didn’t __31__anybody at the school. Secondly, I knew that I wanted to work hard at my lessons and learn something useful. And thirdly, I wanted to have a good time with new classmates, without my parents around.

The first realization frightened me in the beginning. But that __32__quickly disappeared. It was the other two goals that ended up __33__my difficulties. I knew that it was hard to devote enough time to class and to social efforts. But I wanted to succeed in both. I knew this would be a __34__, but I didn’t realize__35__until classes began.

I got on well with the other girls who lived in my dormitory. Often, instead of finishing my homework__36__it was due (应交的期限), I went upstairs and had an ice cream with my neighbor. I always finished it the next day between classes. I knew __37__wasn’t very good and the grade I__38__showed my lack of effort.

I was aware (意识到) that I needed to find some sort of balance (平衡). So I created a schedule that would__39__my time up between going to class, doing homework, and relaxing. It seemed like a good idea, but I was only able to follow it for a few days. A schedule like that was too much pressure.

So I tried another__40__. Each week I made a list of everything I had to get done during that week. Then, under the list of things I had to get done, I made a list of things I could do if I had time.

This is the method I have used since then. I’m glad that I’ve learned to balance things and it has helped prepare me for what is to come after graduation.
