First Quarter

     I feel that I have adjusted to the procedures of the class very quickly. Usually it takes me longer to adjust to a class, but surprisingly I got used to all of the procedures. I've never not had what I was supposed to have for class, and I obsessively check my email. Since I have gotten used to the procedures earlier than normal, the class overall is more enjoyable. I can go to english and focus for an hour because I have what I need and there's no reason for me to leave class. Whenever it comes to lectures/class discussions, I found out about myself that I learn more about the topic whenever I'm a participant in the discussion. By engaging in the discussions, I can't daydream or get off track, I have to pay attention so that I know what is going on. Since I have started participating more, my grade for the class has gone up.
     While I'm working by myself, I get stuff done and I do it well. I don't have outside distractions and I am able to focus on the task. Whenever I have to work in a group, I don't get as much done and it's not done nearly as well. The group tends to get off task and and we don't get anything done. So far this year, I've preferred to work by myself.
     My definite weak spot this quarter is Wordly Wise. I know that I haven't studied enough for those quizzes, but I'm now starting to realize how important they are. If I am able to improve on those quizzes, then my grade will be MUCH better.
