Throw ball 1 from the left hand; throw ball 2 from the right; throw ball 3 from the left; catch ball 1 in the right; catch ball 2 in the left; throw ball 1 from the right; throw ball 2 from the left; get confused and drop the whole damn lot.

If you search "chris bliss" or "juggling finale" you might still be able to find a classic video.

Tornado forgot to mention, this is usually done while on a rolling platform.

Managing your time is part of your education. There is no easy way to do it or learn it. If you can figure it out and do it well, the skill will serve you well during your life.

I was able to manage the juggling (even two pingpong balls and a basketball), but I flunked the rolling seesaw....

thanks Doorman

i think its a big step i have to take.

Hi Bright.

As an undergrad i managed by adding a third full time task- Drinking!

I worked full time (4-12 shift) in steel mill as laborer; Went to school full time (16 credit hours trypical); and drank fulltime- after work nevery night and at all parties on weekend.

My definition o9f success was Passing (not getting A's) university work; Getting 9 out of 10 scheduled shifts completed, and well, you can figure the drinking part out.

I had 2 sets of textbooks (since I had plenty o cash working in the mill)- one set at work which got filthy dirty that I studied between tasks at work, and a clean set at "home" for studying and taking to class.

Point was, I didn't take myself too seriously, and understood that what i was learning on the job was as important as what wa spresented in classes.

I think Mark twain said it first- don't let your school work interfere with your education.

30 some years later, I earned my MBA while working full time in a professional position. No brag, just fact, I got a 4.0 gpa. I did this by spending 1 hour in morning before work reading assignment, 2 hours most evenings doing assigned work, and spending day dreaming time during the day thinking about what i read that morning.

Weekends were reserved for writing papers or working on projects with other students.

I believe that my earlier experience made me who I am, My later one shows who i could have been.

Best advice:

1) I would just make sure you religiously keep a calendar with school and work assignments due dates, and when the parties are. Look at it constantly.

2) Make sure the major is something that you really have a passion for, not just something you ought to take. If you don't like it, you are doomed.

3) Learn how to take good notes.
