4. How do university students manage their time? Read one of the reports and share it
with a partner. Then write a similar one about yourself.

Student A
I am a first-year Biology PhD student, and am having some trouble getting a grasp on time
management... I suddenly found myself piled with 2 full classes and exciting research projects
in 2 separate rotation labs at the same time-- with an ever-increasing pile of papers to read--
and will have teaching obligations beginning next quarter. I find myself neglecting one project,
then panicking to work on that while juggling others, and sometimes find myself doing nothing
but wondering where all the time has gone!

Student B
I have two long term projects in my rotation that I work on in tandem and am balancing
coursework responsibilities, obligatory departmental seminars, research meetings, presentations
etc. I found that I have to tote around a pocket organizer and notebook everywhere I go. I write
up daily updates on what I am doing, what I have done, summaries of papers, class notes, what
plans I have, outcomes from meetings with people and everything else that passes through my
brain. With the exception of a good organization system to quickly find the info I am looking for,
I have found that this has simplified my life and destressed my second rotation.
