Goals for 2nd Semester

There are so many things I feel like I need to accomplish this semester. Getting a good grade, doing more work and having a better thinking process as far as my PLNs go, understanding more about my laptop. Even though I have always recieved a good grade in this class, I still feel the pressure of doing well.

I have managed to keep my grade up the entire year, but I know that I still need to work harder. My PLNs always got good grades, but I know that I still have a lot to work on. Sometimes, they just seem too short, and other times, when I read over them, there didn't seem to be any thought process, just a bunch of words. It seemed like I was just rattling about subjects I don't understand. My laptop, though somewhat less frightening, still frustrates me. There are still times when I would like to hear that satisfying *crack* as the laptop hits the bottom of the trash can.

To keep my grade up, I have to put more into my work. I have always had problems with run on sentences and creating strong conclusions as never been an easy task for me. I realize how important it is that I work on making better conclusions, and how to put my thoughts into shorter, easier to understand sentences. By the end of the semester, I plan to be able to do this without having to sit for half an hour thinking about it. Accomplishing this, I believe, will definetly help to improve my PLNs.

I can accomplsih this by writing, proofreading, and thinking more. If I can et comfortable with writinng, then I will be able to order my thoughts better, therefore, shorten my sentences. Also, if I can think clearly, then perhaps conclusions will come more easily to me.

The problems I have with my laptop will be a little more difficult. I have never had patience with technology. It is harder in a classroom, because I feel like a dork for asking for help. However, I know that all I have to do to master my laptop is to gain a little patience, and learn to ask for help.

Hopefully, by the end of the year, I will have mastered these difficulties, and I will be a more independant, and confident learner.
