British Literature

Today in British literature a new rule was instituted regarding our journals. Normally sister Holly would write a question  on the board, and we would have to work with that and come up with a half of a page worth of writing to answer the question. This was hard enough for most of us because usually the question could be  fully answered in a two sentence format. Now sister Holly is requiring us to answer the same type of questions in a two paragraph format which is 10 sentences long. I feel that she either needs to come up with new questions or make it the way that it used to be because now it is just too difficult. For those of you that are in the British literature class, do u think that she has made this too difficult?

working with people

Today I was sitting in Journalism and i had a conversation with jeremy carranza and I had asked him what his blog was about. Jeremy had told me that he blogged about his partner for a project that we have to work on in British Literature class, and i totally agreed with where he was coming from. Jeremys partner is not the most studious person and Jeremy is so he is scared about the way his project will go. The thing Jeremy realizes is that even though his partner is not the best it is a good opportunity to get used to working with people that you don't want to work with and i respect him for looking for the good in a bad situation. Jeremy Carranza is a good friend of mine and a good person and I agree with him that his situation is difficult and quite frankly sucks but I respect him for making the best out of his situation and looking in the positive.

Procrastination

 Last month in leadership class i was given an assignment to write a 4 page paper, create a presentation about that paper, and give out a handout of either information or something that benefits my presentation. The paper was about analyzing a historical figure and talking about how he or she expresses leadership qualities. When i was told about this paper I had a full month to be able to complete the assignment and turn it in to him, but instead of using the whole month to write the paper I wrote it the day before it was due. If I would have taken the whole month to write the paper I wouldnt have been stressed and I would have been able to write a way better quality paper. Through this assignment i had learned a lot but one of the biggest leasons that I learned was that time management is a major key to success and procrastination will get you nothing but stress and low quality work.

people.

People this week have really annoyed me, people like to critique me on my speech, behavior and work ethic when they have none. A lot of people are very hypocritical, and get mad at me for talking behind peoples back and being mean to me when they do the same thing. I realize my actions are wrong and I have not been the most nice person lately, but in my opinion if you are going to comment on someones actions and tell them to change you should represent those qualities yourself. I think people including me need to learn to just shut up and not speak if they have nothing encouraging to say, and I also think if you are going to be critical then don't be a hypocrite.
