Go on my son.

well that was a week an a half.
Handed in my European project,Joe was pleased with it, just need to tweek it a little bit and I'll be happy with it.
I have written out my application for Uni, but that needs to be tweeked.
Finnished of my assesment for English Lit and looking forward to the next topic.
got word from scott that have passed the 2 Written assignments. VVV happy 'bout that.
handed in my history essay, not to happy with it,could have put more detail into it, but ran out of time. Lesson learnt, be more aware of the time and what I have to do. I'll see what sort of feed back I get from Even.
Spanish oral. I done a lot better than I thought I would, but verbs let me down. I will have to spend 1 hour a night with verbs and using them in written sentaces.
This week is the first week I've felt pressureised in handing in my work. Maybe it was my time management or the amount of work was a real strain, but I done it and I'm still having a ball.
I'm starting to see the results of my wrk and I must addmit, I'm proud of myself, but as always there are areas I must work harder in and I have taken on board some of the tips offered in Diacas class .

Hi everyone!

It has been long time when i didn't look into the blog, brr.... but let's start again....
Recently i think that i discover more my way of learning which is very much visul. Making colourfull maps all over my walls at home make my memory works much better. So this technique almost forced me to sit down and write important things and at the same time to revise this.
In terms of my plan how to learn more effectively and reach my targets i made a brief plan:

• this week i started doing my communication assesment and i will find an hour every day to finished it by coming Thursday;
• on Thursday i am going to write a pice of writting (150 words) writting in Spanish about ''mi amiga'';

Getting better

New things to think about and ways to achieve them.
I'm still finding Spanish a problem, as I have said before, not so much the reading but the writing and saying.
I Know a lot of words in Spanish but it's just trying to get them in the right order with the right verb ending.
There are lots of different lessons on line and I have to admit that I have been lazy and that I now understand that I will have to put much more effort into this topic. I enjoy the subject and starting this week I will be doing a lot more online studying. I feel that I'm falling behind and that i should be at a higher level than I am. This is my own fault and I know I will really have to work hard at this if I want to pass the course.

English Lit. has been a good topic because of the energy that Madeline has for it. Work being set is quite challenging for me because I have not done this before, this is the main reason why I like it. I am finding that the skills in this subject crossover into other subjects.
The written assessment I had done before the holidays had some good comments and the few areas that needed my attention were only to expand on my answers. I now know what is expected and I also know where I have to concentrate on my answers. I have to read a short story and be prepared to answer questions on this. I feel that I'm ready for this and I'm looking forward to it.

Communication is another subject I enjoy and I'm finding the assessments quite straightforward eventhough I'm having to come up with my own ideas instead of waiting for Scott to tell me what to write. Scott has also given me feedback and again I know what is expected. I will compleat my second assessment before Thursdays class incorporating the feedback I got on the last one.

I have not been to maths for a few weeks now due to holidays and personal issues. I will go to the maths drop in centre to check what I have missed and if the work I have been doing is ok.

Investigating Europe has taken a twist due to the fact that I changed my project topic from bullfighting to the region of Valencia. Joe was fine about this and I will have the first draft ready for him to read in 2 weeks time. I spend an hour on this each night and I will be this disiplined with Spanish.

Study skills has given me some very good advice on learning skills and I'm going to start reading aloud and listening to myself as I do Spanish excersises.

I have always been interested in history. Evan has the same energy as Madaline and I found writting an essay about Chartism very interesting because of the research I had to do. I am waiting for his feedback and where I need to improve.

I will be sitting down with my girlfriend later on today to sort out a timetable. This will include time for; study, gym, shopping, housework, eating, socialising and sex.

getting there sexies!!!
