Task 2 Week 6/ Task 3 Week 6

Task 2-

8:30- I wake up and shower.
9:00- I am almost ready and I ake Angel up.
9:10- I'm ready and now I dress Angel up to come to the Early Learning Center.
9:30- I fix Angel's diaper bag and put him in the seat.
9:35- I'm getting Angel in the car and drive off to school.
9:40-I'm here, and I drop Angel off and settle him down.
9:55-If I have time I grab something to eat from Jittery Joes.
10:00-I'm in class!


Task 3-

I know I can manage time in my life. Most of the time in the mornings I don't feel like waking up but I know it is a thing I have to do. I know I can try to go to sleep earlier than usual, but with a kid in your life sleeping much is pratically impossible. If I become overwhelmed with obligations, I can strictly do as I am told, and do it in the amount of time I am given. But when it gets to overwhelming I can say, "Look I can not do this anymore," and immediately stop what I was working on. Time, I have plenty of it but their are times where you can be late for something. I try not to worry and not to do things in a rush, beacuse it is always getting better getting somewhere late than never getting there. Think about that!

Task 4 Week 5

Well this week I will not be going to my service learning center, because I quit. I quit my job because I was tired of not having enough time for my child and not having enough time for my family. I was also tired of working at a restaurant and tired of eating the same food. That job was a good exprience for me but it is just not working out. I really enjoyed working with the people I did but then again some of the employees and I didn't get along. I feel more comfortable now that I quit.

Task 5 Week 4

Last week at work it was incredibly full in the afternoon. I was a cahsire, but had to be both a cahsier and a waitress. It was so full we were busy and running up and down to cater to the people that by the end of the day I had blisters on my feet. I got alot of tips so that went well. I was so happy to come home with some money besides my pay check. I hope it well get better as time comes so that the business can stay up and not be so slow like it had been last month. I really enjoyed being a waitress.

Task 3 Week 3

Since last week my job has been pretty much the same. I have not learned anything new. Working at my job is really nice. I enjoy working eith the people I work with. They are really nice and understanding. Especially my boss, not just because he is my uncle, but he is such a good person and I know I can count on him whenever I need a day off for a good reason. The cooks are really good, they always cook my favorite dishes. I love that. The cashier is my boyfriend, but at my job he is a friendly employee. I look foward to working their further on in the semester.

Task 2b Week 3

Ways to control Procrastinate Excessively?
  1. I can commit myself to starting and finishing something no matter how hard or difficult it is.
  2. Devide large tasks into small parts little by little, but still staying along.
  3. Find a good peaceful place where I can do my work right.
  4. When ever im doing my homework, classwork, and etc. I will put cell phone or ipod away at that moment.
  5. Lastly I will make sure I am willing to do the work no matter how much time it takes me.

Task 2a Week 3

Taking Better Notes-
  • Review notes from previous class in order to learn the new information.
  • Keep attention in what the teacher is saying.
  • Placing a question mark (?) next to what don't know can also help.
  • Rewrite your notes in a way you can understand the statement better.
  • Always check with classmate to see that both of you have the same things and notes.

Task 1 Week 3

Get Started-
I would like to improve this because most of the time I tend to say later or tomorrow. When the day comes it is never done or there. I have always planned on changing this because I always like to have time to do things in order, so that they won't be just put together making no sense.
I also like to think through some stuff to make a stronger paper but when I leaveit all until the end my paper is always weak. Hopefully I can learn to do things time ahead of time instead of leaving towards the end.
