Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I'm the same as you right now, but instead, I'm a full time student at a university (5 classes), I have a job, I am taking a dance class, and I am taking an extra class for fun at a local community college!. It is going to be hard the first few weeks!. You have to learn time management and know what is most important in your schedule right now, which should be school!. Don't let work wear you down, because that part will tire you out!. That's why I am planning on working weekends only!. Unless you're living on your own, you don't have to worry about paying bills quite yet (unlike me), so you can most likely afford to work only weekends!. That will leave you time for school work during the weekdays and dance class a few hours a week!. If you're worried about not having time to practice for dance, you should give yourself about 30 minutes every morning when you wake up (before getting ready for school) to practice your dance as your morning exercise routine!. Good luck and have fun!Www@QuestionHome@Com The most realistic thing to do is make a time budget the way you budget your money!. Be realistic about how much time everything will take and a realistic amount of time for study and homework as well as socializing and doing things with friends!. Look at if you can cut back work hours a little bit and what you'd monetarily have to cut back on if you did!. also realize that dance classes is going to be a bigger expense with less money if you cut back!. You may have to think about if what you are giving up is worth it or if you can afford the time and money with everything else going on!. It may well be something you'll have to wait on for awhile!. Can you take dance as a class at school!? Some school's offer a dance class as an alternative to PE!. That's something to consider as a solution if it's possible!.Www@QuestionHome@Com I just finished 11th grade, had a job, and was a dancer plus involved in oodles of other things!. I prioritized day by day!. I only took 3 dance classes per week each for an hour and a half and my ballet teacher understood if I couldn't make it to every class!. But then again I had a very flexible job too!. Prioritize!.!.!.what is most important to you!? Obviously school would be number 1!.!.!.!.but is a job or dance more important to you!? Maybe only take 1 class per week!?!?!?!?Www@QuestionHome@Com im the same as you-i dont have a job, but i have a butt load of activities! i only take a few hours/week at the studio because i take dance in school!. see if you can do something like this at your school!Www@QuestionHome@Com |
