As I read through my course contract I was not surprised that I had already forgotten what I wrote just a month and a half ago (see previous post). So far I am feeling very good about my performance, I am understanding what we have been taught in class,for the most part, and I am passing the class. These were my three goals that I wanted to reach at the beginning of the semester.
However, I have not done well following my preparation plan. I manage to get through everything before class the next week, but not in the organized manner that I was hoping for. Usually I do my reading and study guide whenever I find a spare moment. I do my blog sometime after that and I usually don't review my notes till before class on Thursday. I also haven't been very consistent with my study strategies. I take my backpack everywhere and do my homework anywhere. I am usually distracted by most things, especially my own thoughts and am always worried about forgetting something in this class or one of my others. For our assessment packet project, my group has been meeting at the same time every Friday morning. It has been great because I have the time scheduled out just for that so I don't have to worry about it.
I have come to realize that I do need to make some "no school" time to keep me sane. I have decided that is on Thursday nights. Because I don't have school on Friday, I can relax the night before and then hit it hard on Friday before and after meeting with my assessment group. I will continue to make sure that I am caught up each week, so that I am not trying to play catch up, especially with so many different classes.
