Blog Update 27/1/15


Reflection

I have now started week 21 of the academic year, the week has been up and down so far. I managed to meet a deadline for an assignment and I feel that I did well for that assignment, however it hit me today how much work I have actually got to hand in. There are one or two pieces of outstanding work, because I have made a few errors which have caused me not to meet criteria. As well as outstanding work, I have assignments with official deadlines for the end of this week as well as the end of next week. There are still two months to go for the first year but that time will be needed for the new units we are being introduced to. Time is against me at the moment so I need to make sure not to waste it. On top of this I have already been late for my first lesson twice this week, I know I promised not to get another late slip for the rest of term and it only took a week to ruin that. However I am still determined to change for the better, I really need to pull my socks up and keep being punctual from this point on.

Areas of development

Punctuality is still an issue at the moment, but I am progressing on it as I am managing to get to college on time a lot more so there are signs that I am trying to develop. I also need to develop my time keeping in another area which is getting coursework completed. I have a lot of coursework to complete over the next few weeks so I have to make sure to use all the time I’ve got effectively and efficiently. There are only a couple of months to go until the summer comes, work now whilst I have the chance and rest over the summer.

What has gone well?

I managed to complete an assignment due in on Sunday, on time and the assignment wasn’t a small one. I dedicated a lot of time to it and feel that I completed it to a good standard. It also showed me that I can get work done well if I give myself enough time. This will be used as inspiration for the coming weeks of college. It will help me to complete assignments on time and to a good standard because I feel that I have already proven I can do this, I just need to be consistent.

Long term goal

My long term goal is to finish college with at least Merit standards, but I will be pushing hard for distinctions. I am still deciding between getting a full time job and going to university, so my goal is currently to be successful in college.
