Our Last week =[

Well this is our last week of the frst semester. Its sad to say but it is, i already did my presentation with my group which was with marco hector and i. We did a great job though, we did practice a lot before the presentation and collaborated as a team. I thing that we worked well as a team and we did disagree on some stuff but then we got back on track and we agreed. What i liked most is that we got to give out each our own opinion on what we throught each of the characters of the book overcame their tramatic situaion. And that was cool because it felt like a group presentation but at the same time it felt like a individual presentation. Our 3 books that we read were a child called it mans search for meaning and because of romek. All these books were great but my favorite book was a child called it, it was sad but good. And now im done with english and i now have to get ready for the governmnent final and the essay, and also the math final! Its soo crazy, its all flying by so fast. I hope my outcome will be okay. I will miss this english class.
The work that im most proud of that i accomplished in english class was the in class essay, the very first one i prepared for it and i ended up getting a b+ on it. And the skill that i have gained is my writing skills. I know how to quickly create a web of my thoughts and create an essay.
My way of thinking, my critical thinking skills has improved. I also learned that if i prepare before an assignment it will come out better.I would love to improve my vocabulary because i feel that i dont know that many big words. And i would also want to read more books because i get a lot from them and learn many new things. Aand they can also help improve my vocabulary.

The almost last week before break!

So this week i worked on my inquiry project and getting ready for the finals. Also on friday we had community service day and what my advisory and i did was that we went to this place in mira mesa and helped out the children in need. However i have to admit im getting pretty stressed out because the math and government homework are going to be tough!, its not going to be a walk in the park that's for sure. And im almost ready for the inquiry project the only thing that i need to do is that i have to finish my annotated bibliography for both my books that i read and for my sources that i got based on trama. I overall love my project because is has to do with psychology, that is what i want to major in. And it is sad to know that many people all over the world no matter where they are they go through tough and difficult times. Especially when they are young kids that seems even more sad to me. But overall i have to admit it is very interesting. This project just makes me wants to study psychology. But my strategy for the last week before break is to try to keep my focus and not give up.

December 3, 2010

This past week it was a bit of a struggle for me to get back started. Especially after thanksgiving break! Also i messed up my shoulder so its hard to write and move as much, very uncomfterable. So we started on this new project for stephanies class and it seems interesting each day we have to do a certain amount on the packet of the project. So far i have finished my annotated bibliographys for my 2 books that i read. The only thing i do feel like i can do better and need to improve on is trying to get more done in math because its getting tougher and im really not that good in math so i need to get my flow going through again. I cant believe that this semester is almost done! its crazy to think that my senior year is about half way done. So far so good the only thing that i would really like to see is for my grade for english to go up! i dont know why its so low if i do good in my essays and stuff since that is a big part of the grade. well other than that i have to keep motavated and get all the final projects done and get ready for finals.
