ROUTINES Poppy was complaining about all the stuff she had to do. Just look at my calendar. Go to Oxford Floral, buy happy for Susan; go to cleaners; tanning appointment at six o ' clock; work at library from one to three o ' clock; Racquetball at seven o ' clock; get hypnotized at Union at three thirty; we were all going to Pete ' s today and I have too much ' stuff ' to do. Routines. They say they give order and a bit of security to our lives. Some can be enjoyable, others a chore. Some you can not get away from, like registration. The Opscan system cuts down on a lot of time, we don ' t know how lucky we are to have it. Payment of fees, depends on the time of day you hit the Turner complex. For some people, those holds at the Bursar and library can be a run around. Something strange happened to me this past semester I paid my fees in twenty minutes. We learned to PRIORITIZE. There are seminars and books teaching you to get your act together and get organized, but learning about it is only a form of procrastination. We all have calendars. We try to do everything and still leave time to take off for Sardis. How many times have you sworn to yourself that this semester would be different. You would study a little bit every day (no more all-nighters), work out at the Turner complex every day, stop eating and drinking so much, and be in bed by a decent hour? Maybe once very four months? It is so easy to be bad and so hard to be good. ..- . r K t ' II
