I think the first quarter has rolled by smoothly. Coming to class prepared and focusing in class was easy for me. I seldom ever packed up before the bell rang since there is never an idle moment in English class. We are always working. Well, I am. Once or twice, I forgot to bring my outside reading book, but other than those times I was always prepared with my materials. I never went to the restroom during class (afraid to miss something during lectures) and I regularly emailed Dr. deGravelles when I had questions. I hastily took notes during lectures and discussions on things that I felt were important. Keeping my attention on class discussions is easy since I like class discussions. I also stayed away from the side conversations around me, and I only talked whenever I was asked to by the teacher or if a classmate had a question about what we were discussing in English. The only challenge for me was to stay focused in class near the end of the day. Around 2, I feel lifeless. I'm alert and awake when I have English before tutorial, but after tutorial is a different story. Halfway through class, my eyes would shut without my permission. It's a struggle fighting with my eyes to remain alert.
For the second quarter, I will not change anything about how I conduct myself in class or staying consistent with homework/essays. I think I've been working hard in English class so far, and hopefully I will keep these habits. The only thing I worry about is staying awake when I have class near the end of the day. I will try to find a solution for this, because it sucks struggling with my difficult eyes!
Working hard or hardly working, eh? Keep working hard, though I must agree that I often feel lifeless myself. (though thats an all-day deal).
ReplyDeleteNice job
Yep, that was what I did as well, except instead of not bringing my independent reading book, I went to the bathroom a few times.
