I did finish my junior year at CIDE. Honestly speaking, it was hard. When I began the semester, I thought this semester would be easy for some reasons. The first one, we are living in a pandemic context, so, I assumed that professors and online classes could be not so hard, however, I was wrong.

For this junior semester, I was enrolled in five courses:

• Sustainable Development
• Data Science
• Survey Methodology
• Parliamentary procedure
• Public problems and civil society.

The first three ones were the most difficult courses. I had to do assigments for each one of those courses each weekend. It was hard and sad becauseI didn’t enjoy my weekends.

In addition to my obligatory courses, I was studying English at El Paso Community College (EPCC) since January 26th to May 27th. I paid for it $138. It was a very cheap course in comparative with English Language Institute in Mexico. Also, I got multiple benefit with my registration at EPCC. For example, access to academic journals, premium account of Grammarly and a great native professor, Mrs. Sarah Majd.

On same time, I was enrolled in one course more: Data Visualization (Monday and Wednesday 17:30 – 19:00 hrs).Also, I was attending to some conferences about job opportunities and graduate profile from CIDE Alumni.

Besides, I got a job half time with Dr. Cardenas. My possition in this job was research assistant in a project of UNICEF, I did support to request information by Plataforma de Transparencia to local an federal gubernmental agencies. After, I supported as manager of this project.

Further, I was studying 5 differents new lines of inquiry about topics related to education. And I was reading about those topics.

In conclusion, I was studying seven courses (5: obligatory , 2: extracurricular), attending to one conferences each week,reading about 5 differents new lines of inquiry (thesis), and working half time in a project. The result was burnout.

Considering the previous information, I decided to identify my healthy level of work. I’ll try do it through this entry.

When I identified my bornout status in my life, I wrote to my college thesis adviser about to move the advances reviews of those five new lines of inquiry after to finish senior semester. Then, I stopped attending to CIDE Alumni conferences. After of those decisions done, I felt better.

As can be seen, my healthy level of work this as follows as:

Scenary without midterms period:

• 5 courses of CIDE (3 strong, 2 weak).
• 1 course of English (Medium level).
• 1 job half time ( working 20 hours each week, 4 hours daily).

SCENARY WITH MIDTERMS PERIOD:

5 courses of CIDE (3 strong, 2 weak).

• Course of English (Medium Level) Maybe…
