Who Can Control Time?

I've heard somewhere - and I wish I could remember where - that time is the only aspect of our life that we can control. It sounded like the coolest thing I've ever heard. Wow, I can control time. Nice! Only that I don't think I believe it that much. If I controlled time, then today for example I could have finished studying for my finance mid-term tomorrow, then I would have done some econ studying for the final on Tuesday, and then some more for my Thursday final in Accounting. Is that such an ambitious plan? I don't think so! Did my time allow for all that? Not really.

Yes, I get that this whole controlling the time thing means that we get to pick the most important task that absolutely has to get done and then we rank the rest in terms of what is and isn't important and has or doesn't have to get done. That is called prioritizing, if I remember correctly. While in business school, however, I feel that even after prioritizing my to-do list is still very long. And all those items left on the list are in my "very important and absolutely need to get done" quadrant!

Speaking of this lovely quadrant, finals are here! Yes, that means that 6 weeks have gone by already and session A is almost over. It also means that before I know it, my first year of business school will also be over. This idea will definitely take some getting used to. I still have to lock in an internship before I get to enjoy my summer vacation. Keep your fingers crossed for me to get the internship I want and then I will tell you all about this whole process! First things first though: finals week! Wish me luck!
