完形填空。
When I moved into an empty dorm (宿舍) for the first time two years ago, I was certain of a few things.
Firstly, I realized that I didn't
1 anybody at the school. Secondly, I knew that I wanted to work hard at
my lessons and
2 something useful. And thirdly, I wanted to have a good time with my new classmates,
without my parents around.
The first realization frightened me in the
3 . But that
4 quickly disappeared. It was the two goals
5 became my real difficulties. I knew that it was
6 to devote enough time to both classes and social efforts
at the same time. But I was determined to
7 my goals. I knew this would be a
8 , but I didn't realize how
big the challenge was until classes began.
I got on well with the other girls who lived in my dorm. I often chatted with them
9 of finishing my
homework
10 it was due (到期的). I always finished it the next day between classes. I knew
11 wasn't
good and the grades I
12 showed my lack of effort.
It was pretty
13 that I needed to find some sort of balance. So I made a schedule (时间表),
14 my time
up among going to classes, doing homework and relaxing. It seemed like a good idea,
15 I was only able to
16 to it for a few days. A schedule like that was too much pressure.
So I tried another
17 . Each week I made a list of things I had to get done during that week. Then I made
a list of things I could do
18 I had time.
This is the method I have used
19 then. I'm glad that I've learned to balance things and it has helped
20 me for what is come after graduation.
