Halfway Done

It seems just like yesterday that ENGL 002 has just stated. To be totally honest, I'm relieved because we're halfway don into the class and into EN101A. But to get to EN 101A I have to do my best on the rest of the essays and on my grammar. Since we have a test on grammar on Friday, I'm going to use the notes we took in class and study from that, and hopefully I at least pass the test. As for my essays, we only have three essays left in total to do left, so I have to do my best and do the writing process. Since this is a accelerated class, there is no time to slack off because you will be behind. So in general, I have to keep my head held high and do my very best on the work I have to do.

Addiction


We all have addictions, it's just that we don't realize what our addiction is until someone tells us what it is. For many of us, its our phones. We can't really turn off our phones for many reasons. The phone is a powerful technology, we can do so much and yet we do so little with our lives. Its not easy to get off our phones since we are waiting to receive an important call or when we're bored we don't know what to do so we use our phones. Other times it's just to get out of reality and see our world in the tiny screen we use half of the day. I use my phone to go on social media, texts friends , look up what's  happening around the world, celebrity gossip, and to listen to music. Other times I use it to call for an emergency, but I don't believe I'm addicted to my phone since I'm not on it all the time. Phones are an addiction to some people but to those who use their phone all the time, put it down enjoy what's around you. You won't know what you'll actually miss until you lose it. Take the chance, it won't be the end of the world.

Reality Check

 In my ENGL 002 class we did a weekly schedule to see how we manage our time. What I didn't realize is that I don't manage my time well meaning that I don't say true to my words. Realizing that I take two math courses which are Pre-calculus and an online Trigonometry class and an accelerated English class I know that I can't slack off, the way I usually do and procrastinate. So trying to change my bad habit I will not use my free time in watching television and take a nap because if I do then I won't have enough time to finish my assignments. For me to manage my time wisely and effectively, I will need to go to the WRLC or see Professor Simon if I need any help with my assignments. While for my math classes, after my Pre-calculus class ends I will go to the math center to do my homework and review the notes along with my online class and complete the work that I need to do. In general, If I commit to myself and apply what I need to do I will succeed.
