32nd Reflection

Day 41 and Day 42

Day 41 I got my essay retrieved and I started work and edit it and took a while so about most of it was done. On day 42 I worked like mad since todday was the last day since my essay was retrieved. It was a long and tough road and I finally finished and now for the bibliorgraphy. I rushed nthrough the bibliorgraphy careful not to make a mistake and it was a lot of hard work but I finished just on time. Printing it was difficult since the printer had a problem so I printed it on the printer in the other room and what a catch up it was. I behaved well and listened to the teacher and I think I could improve by saving my work in more than one place unless I know it is in a safe like a place which has enough space which I think was the problem. Like my folder didn't have enough space for the file so it must have deleted itself to make room for new stuff.

31st Reflection

Day 40

To day I got some good news and some bad news. Good news is that I have till next week to finish but the bad is that my essay hasn't been retrieved. I am know more cinfident thanks to my teacher for the extra week now I can work hard again and hopefully i will finish it on time. I am now changing it from the old one by improving it and using different methods of editing. I have worked at max a third of the essay and if this continues I will soon be finoished on time but my worry is what if it is deleted again. I am at a good point although I am behind the class but I am sure mine could still be better than theirs. I behaved and listened to the teacher well. I am glad thast my essay is being improved during my work and I have been given the rightful time to finish and many thanks to my teacher.

IT support(it was not department) came and asked me for my user name and they said they would try to retreive it but if not I will discuss with my teacher. I have worked really hard on it all and it keeps dssapearing. I hope that this one doesn't get deleted, or aleast the first one can be retreived, it will hopeflly. I am working hard but time is running out. I listened and behaved well today. I have no suggestions on how to improve at this point.

29th Reflection

Day 37 and 38

These two days were sad days for me. On day 37 I couldn't work since the laptop I was using didn't work and the same for five other people. So we went to the labs but then my friend and I were left. We headed back from the labs back to the room and two computers were available and we both took one. I opened my computer checked oone the file and bam, all my hard work on the essay dissapeared. I was in shock and told the teacher. I went to the computer department but she just sent me back and no time was eft so today was a bust. On day 38 I went back to the computer department and she took me to the IT department which would tell me what happened but all the IT department were gone so I started over just in case nothing could be done and hopefully I can still finish in time. I listened and behaved well.

28th Reflection

Day 36

Today I wrote every hard and I still have four note cards to write and the conclsion. My friend and I think that amybe we should increase the word limit by one hundred because their are so many things to write and it all doesn't fit in fifteen hundred words. I also had some time to fix some the prevous work to make sure it was done properly and just incase I go over the limit I know what to take out. I could improve by making some of the information on my cards nsmaller then write them or just skip one, two more so I can make the cut. I worked and listened well. I hope I can fit the word limit with my back up plan or I have to get rid on the more important information.

27th Reflection

Day 34 and 35

On these two days I worked on my essay and it is really hard not to write alot I mean I worked on characteristics and I have over one thosand words. I worked really hard on day thirty four, and on day thirty five I recaped were I was and started again. I also had to skip some unimportant cards and also edited some of my work. I could improve by doing less of talking and more work but the problem is all we do is type on the computer so it is hard to write a good reflection.

26th Reflection

Day 33

Today was intresting how I worked, I stared writing from one hundred and ninety cards and I worked really had so at the end I had over five hundred cards. The interesting part was I had used only two notecards one front and back and one front. I worked really hard but if I keep this up I might not have enough room for every thing but I have a plan for that. If I still have too little/little after typing I have to keep extracting more information from each note card until I fininsh. I have basically found out what I am writing in every thing except the conclusion but during my work I am bound to think of something. I don't have any suggestions to improve except getting it well organized. I listened and behaved well.

25th Reflection

Day 32

Today I edited my bullet points and started writing my essay and I worked well so I finished writing my introduction and started my second paragrph. I worked hard and listened to the teacher. I was thinking of using the internet but the teacher said no to the class because someone was doing it all ready. I instead woorked hard and I have done over two hundred words. I also organized my note cards in the order I wanted to write them. I would improve by focusing like I did last time and keep doing that but I think that my essay might be a bit short so I will have to extract information from my nots and get some knew predictions out of it.

Day 31

Today we went to a different multimedia lab and started to plan our essays. First I tried to firgure out what I should write for the introduction but I wasn't doing so well so I sat in my seat thought about it and finally an idea came to me. I opened insperation but all the connections were conusing to I started working with microsoft word and wrote what would say in bullet points. Then at the end of class I saved it after finishing writing the bullet points. I could improve by also planning at home but not type up any thing. Today I listened and behaved well.
