Hello! fellow out of the books thinkers, by now you probably know thatI’m no physic, but I can understand a pattern and so far my life has been full of them. By studying the patterns of the past, and observing the products of the present, I can predict! Not only the weather, but also many other things, including and especially human habits.

In grade 5 I had probably the worst work ethic you could imagine, in grade six, my teacher taught me better habits and how to get rid of my already existing bad ones. By the end of grade six I was proud of myself, but the next year I felt myself slipping back down into bad habits. I had already learned everything I was learning and I wanted a challenge, I convinced myself that the school work didn’t matter since I already knew it, but I wished for my good habits to return. Now I’m in PLP, everything I do is a challenge and I love it! I was worried that after getting better again, I would get worse because that seemed to be the patterns. Here I am, slowly getting on top of things, but instead of settling I continue to push myself.

In the past when I had a challenge to live up to, Ive gotten better and better, now I have a big challenge, and I see the wheels turning, the only difference is that I am the challenge, so I will always have a challenge to push myself to.

Working on my blog has been, and is currently a new and interesting process. I have always had trouble with shortening my work, it’s been lengthy or un information filled in past, but now with practice and help from my teachers and classmates I’m improving. I have learned simple tricks from other aspects of my life such as from Interior Design and Charector Design, these include:

-Keep it simple -Use clean lines -Keep a reasonable colour combo -Be true to your style

Some of the problems you see occurring such as lack of images, bad layout, come from mainly two things, one- a lack of experience, and two- bad time management, where I am doing my very best to improve upon.

Now is the time (drum roll please) for…

MORE CRITICISM  because I value honesty, and you can not improve  yourself if you don’t accept your faults and weaknesses.

First off is something from humanities the Deep cove add, I found the idea of advertisement exiting, and I had millions of ideas, practically bursting. I could simply not choose one, and that was my downfall. I spent too much time coming up with ideas, that I didn’t always get each draft done on time, leading to me not being able to get enough criticism, and so on, and so on. Honestly I’m not too sure how much it improved, and I’m definitely not as proud of it as I was expecting to be.

Next is the most distinct science project, the MMMovies. My movie could have been a lot better, we had a chance to revise it and make it better, but for some reason we never did. The idea we came up with I thought was great, very entertaining, and certainly creative, but not so efficient. When we tried to execute, the green screen was bad, and our idea confined the amount of knowledge we could put into it. I the end we forgot the main idea, how partials interact, and I found that with a lot of things in scimatics, I could have done a lot better if I took the opportunity to revise, or re-do.

Finally, something from Maker, known as the Star Wars exhibition. I love inquiring, asking questions, seeking out the answers, and most of all being able to write about whatever best suits your interests! I chose to research Character design, because one of my favourite parts of Star Wars are the characters, and because I love to design. I ended up learning much more that I had considered before. I feel like in this project I had a ton to do, and I personally feel proud of how I managed the time provided. Though I was up at two o’clock glueing and cutting, I did it, and I feel I did a pretty good job. This project has been the biggest challenge I’ve had so far, (except destination imagination) and I LOVE a good challenge.

The project I’m most excited about Is the biology project, I’ve always been interested in biology, and the way ms.klausen explains bacteria makes me wonder about all the possibilities bacteria has, and the wonders of the world that haven’t been discovered yet. So far, I’ve examined the heads of multiple insects, and cardiac cells, along with a few miscellaneous things. Although the light of the microscope gives me a headache, it is so worth it! There are so many ways this unit could go, so many possibilities, and paths to head down it excites me just to think about.

To conclude…
Earlier, when I was talking of patterns, I said that my main problems started as lack of experience, and from bad work ethic, but now I constantly am improving my work ethic, and have much more experience with PLP, stress, and blogs, it will  go up from here (exept for the inevitable and welcomed times that I will fail).

the most common word used here (other than I, it, me, will, and, am, and all of those cheater words), is time management.                                                     -if reflecting on your work ethic, what would your most commonly used word be?
