Another year, another MPOL. As per usual I am going to review what I have done over the beginning of this year, and what I think I have done will and what I have not, as there is always a mix. I have been reflecting a lot lately about what I have done over the past couple of months as this year is different than most as I am now in grade 11 and this year is a lot more intense than others as I have found the homework is a lot harder and there is more of it. Another thing that has made this year different is the fact that I only have three PLP classes and two of them are humanities.
The beginning of the year for me was a pretty average, I didn’t do anything that was super outstanding to the point where anybody would be impressed or disappointed. However, slowly things started changing, as we got into reading the Crucible, I don’t think that I did very well on the assignments surrounding the crucible. All of them were just mediocre and not some of my best work, and I am regretting not putting more effort into them. After that once we started working on the exhibition the quality of my work picked up and I think that I was some of my best work as I was constantly working and making sure things got done, I really didn’t focus too much on individual tasks as I more just worked on everything that I found, as soon as something needed to be done I started working on it to get it done as I knew there was a tight schedule. Lately I feel that I have been struggling as I have been having trouble keeping my Personal Growth Plan on track which is kind of ironic as it is all about prioritizing and planning ahead. I have been behind all because I procrastinated over winter break.
To fix this I want to to change my attitude, as I feel that is my biggest problem. A good example is how I procrastinated doing my PGP work, as it is very overwhelming having to try and catch up, but I think that if I figure follow my PGP book then I should be able to get everything straightened out. Another thing that will help with this is time blocking which I havent been very good at doing as I have not put much effort into it. I think that as soon as I do give it more effort then I should do a lot better.
The basics of it is that they I need to be more diligent with time blocking and planning ahead for my future tasks, becuase that way I will be able to keep on task and getting everything done while working around my schedule.
