I think Im doing much better lately. Yesterday I had the mentor meeting where we checked up on grades, and as per usual I can improve with listening more attentively in class, and managing distractions better. But I feel much more caught up that I have done recently.. especially after getting those tests done in Rav's class.
My new task schedule is to Talk to Gina Today at lunch and get a list of assignments that I have missing that she will accept, get my lab questions done for today, Send an email to Rav about getting extra help for the assignments and talking to Matt and seeing if Im missing or behind in anything there.
Other than that, Im doing pretty well :)

Tuesday, Feb 10th
Today I stayed after school and got ALL of my tests for Ravs class done. So besides the assignments that I cant do.. I am completely caught up in that class. Its a weight odd the shoulders, Im telling you. We took the Chem and Poly Sci Midterms today and yesterday, I think they went great. I love the tests in these classes, theyre much easier than the homework. Now all we have to do is wait.
Friday, Feb 6th
Good news! Rav said I can get the tests in by Feb 10.. so that gives me a little wiggle room to go over the book and get those in on time. Im really thankful for that, so I know Im not going to miss this particular deadline.
And I was wrong.. even after two days It is SO nice to not have that extra class. An extra hour I have in the morning to look after what Im missing.. I love it. :)

There is too much going on..
I finished math today so that is very nice, but It wont really decrease my stress level because I never needed to do homehowk in that class anyway.
I missed 2 assignments in different classes because I was unable to get online.. Ill have to make sure that never happens again.
Chemistry is fine, its probaby the best class I have now, I get 80-90% of most of my assignments. Poly sci is alright, I need to start on my legislative paper, but Im going to use the extra hour I have in the morning to work on that tomorrow.
Comp Sci- Im far behind in the tests, I need to talk to Rav but Im unsure of what to say or how much he can help. Ill print out the syllabus tomorrow and circle all the assignments I need to catch up on.

My goal for this semsester is orginization, which is appropriate, because Im lacking greatly there, and I never really noticed before coming to Psec.
I found out last semester thats is insanely easy to fall behind. So now that I feel myself falling into that same pattern, I can catch myself.
The biggest problem, so far has been the lack of books, but I have them all as of today. Im nearly caught up completly in Science and I will be caught up with Poly Sci readings by next Monday. (Well, thats my goal anyway)
I talked to Gina and Matt about missing homework, where to find it, how to get caught up ect today, and I sent an email to Rav about the tests I have missed.
So my goals for the rest of the week and the weekend are:
1. Catch up in Poly Sci readings
2. Catch up in Comp Sci readings
3. Try to create habit of checking homework online every night.
Im going to take this semester one day at a time.. because when I dont, I find myself 3 weeks behind.

I havent written a journal in so long.
There has been so much going on I all but forgot the writing protion of this assignment, but here is the newest update.
Self Awareness-
Again, I did not do much to test myself here, I am falling seriously befind in the readings, but I do pay attention and take notes in class. But I know that dosent excuse things. I dont know how i got so far behind in readings, but Im doing by best to catch up in math. Its my main priority to finish this quarter, and I know I will, even if I have to stay up all night taking quiz after quiz.
Time Management-
Ive been doing not so well on this either. Ive been under some external stress recently, but I do get my assignments in on time, and I think Im making better use of my class time thsat I was before. The end of the quarter deadline is looming, and its going to spurr me to get a hold of the loose ends and really make an effort to finish on top this quarter like I know I can.
Appearence Management-
I asked Craig recently about my progress and I think his phrase was" Walking, not running uphill". So Im still progressing, just not as fast as I would like to be, which I already knew. I feel like Im not working to my full potential and that people will start to think of me worse, as one of those students "With one foot firmly in the hole" as Terrys statement sums up. This is my time to show everyone that I can run up the hill.

Self Awareness-
This week I did not do anything to test myself here. I dident make any small term goals, so I cant measure any progress in this aspect yet. Although, in math this week, I did find out that I am horrible at square roots.. I should do some of the practice stuff to help myself out there ASAP.
Time Management-
I think I was smally successful in this this week. I got alot of my work done, and I finished on time in math. But Im falling behind in my annotations and my text reading for writ, and I know this will hurt be greatly. Tonight Im going to try to catch up to where Im supposed to be in the book, and make sure I start posting those summaries on the Primary documents before 10 Pm the night they are due.
Im pretty disgusted with myself on how little Ive been reading, since its supposed to be my strength, but I know I will try to stay ahead and get all of this done for Criag pronto.
Appearance Managent-
In my mentor meeting, I have recieved compliments on my improvement since the first weeks at Psec. This I am very proud of, and I like hearing this, because I know I am working harder now than I was in the beginning of the year. But like the Self Awareness goal, I know I am not pushing myself. I still have alot of free time that is completly wasted. I think my old faults are coming back to haunt me, not so much the procrastination, but rather the lack of motivation. Now that I know Im doing well, or at least better than before, I am more apt to become lackadaisy. This I will work though, and the next two weeks will be critical in measuring just how much I can show everyone that I do care and am here because I care.
