Procrastionation Part B

To help me with procrastination ill need to:
1. commit myself to completing a task that is given.
2. eliminate distractions
3. take breaks in between tasks so that I dont go crazy.
4. set reasonable standards that i can meet.
5. find a comfortable place to complete my work.

Note Taking Part A

1. Write quickly so you dont miss anything.
2. Use abbreviated words
3.Rewrite your notes in a revised form.
4. Read everything that you need to before class.
5. Write questions for yourself if you need to.
6. Go back and answer those questions when you revise your otes later.
7. Bring everything that you might need to class everyday.
8. Keep focused on what the teacher is talking about.
9. Look for "signal statements" from your teacher to tell if the next thing that they say is going to be important.
10. Include everything in your notes that the teacher writes down.

Getting Started

There are many things that I need to do to be prepared for class. I can deal with being prepared and getting to class on time, stuff like that. One thing that I know I need improvement on is getting started with my work. Sometimes I have problems with this. I would say that I am a procrastinator for a lot of things and classwork is one of them. Classwork and projects are some of the things that I'm not so eager to get started on. There will be some times where I can get started with no problem, more often than not I seem to either be confused of don't feel like doing anything at the moment. Lately this problem hasn't really occured and its fine. I chose this skill because I believe that I need improvement in this area and I feel that soon it wont be a problem at all.

Sandy Creek


My first impression of sandy creek was it was gonna be fun. its fun but its not the greatest place to be, its kind of boring. I'm learning a bunch of new stuff, like how to take care of certain animals and work on office stuff. i get to talk to people and answer the phone every once and a while. I get to care for animals and clean up after them. Ive learned a lot just one day a week going there. sometimes i even get to work with kids and teach them about animals. at first i loved it, then it got boring, and then i started to like it again, i guess it just depends on whats happening that day. I'm having a great experience at the Sandy Creek Nature Center.

I wanna be a pro skater

I need the most improvement in the leading area. I dont think of myself as that great of a leader and i could use some work in that department. I feel that its a lot easier to follow directions rather than making them. Being a good leader is essential to being sucessful. Ive never had a job before and i think that when describing myself on a job application and a job interview, talking about me being a good leader would look good.
