| 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 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 .
