Reflection Post #2

This past week looking back i did everything i planned to do with my classes and my reading. I was able to do my reading for Read 96. Using what i learned so far i annotated, rephrased titles to make them into questions, highlighted the first sentence of every new heading, and highlighted all the important parts to make rereading easier. Using such techniques i was able to rememeber most of the answers for the quiz this friday. My Math class went as planned and i breezed through that and it still doesnt seem to be getting any harder. My spanish class is pretty easy since im a native speaker already i dont really need to concentrate on anything other than spelling but i still use some of highlighting and annotating to remember new words i never knew. Now looking forward my Math class still seems like its on the same direction so i dont plan to change anything there. My reading class has stabilized over the last several weeks and ive gotten used to the workload all i need to do is utilize the new patterns and graphs we've learned over the past week and ill be fine. My spanish class is still the same with occasional quizzes here and there but no increase in difficulty, workload, or reading so i dont plan on changing anything there either.

In the coming weeks it seems as though my Math class, for the most part has passed the difficult curriculum. My Spanish class is easy because I am a native speaker so i dont really need to worry about studying, but i do need to get my online work done before the next quiz. My Read 96 class, this class has a bit of a hefty burden but if i spread it through the week i can usually get it done with ease. Lately my big sister's and father's problems has been affecting my schoolwork and the time i am able to sleep. My sister and father crashed thier cars and ive been taking them to work. I wake up at 4:30 am Monday through friday just to take my dad to work, come back eat breakfast go pick up my little sister and mom to take them to her school(mom and sister live in a different house), come back take my older sister to work, lately ive been spending about three to four hours daily just driving on the freeways and i rarely have time to spend on my homework or myself. luckily my sister's car is supposed to be fixed by afternoon today so i wont have to take her to work anymore which will shave about an hour and forty five minutes of driving. But unfortunately i still need to take my father to and from work. Fortunately my work doesnt start until next week since i work at the Angel stadium. So until my father buys another car i need to get my work done in my spare time, so that i can be able to sleep all night instead of doing homework the night before. Fortunately after reading most of my reading and utilizing SQ3R i wont need to spend a long time studying and can rest with ease instead of cramming the night before, i will only need to spend time on the important parts ive already highlighted. My key terms and important dates have symbols next to them to help me indicate that they are important. My texts have been highlight to summarize the difficult parts of the reading. My math and spanish classes are easy and to the point already so i dont really need to use SQ3R in them.
