Reflection Entry #35 May 19 ,2009

I was able to find the essay I lost in the previous lesson. It was fortunately on my USB, so I should've saved it onto my drive as well. I needed to catch up today to the rest of the class to make up for lost time. Mostly everybody is round 1000 words but I only have roughly 600 words. The strategy I planned earlier, to type up everything, ignoring the word limit and then improving and discarding info later, seems to work. I think to catch up to the rest of the class I should get to the MM labs earlier than usual so I'll have more time on my hands. Secondly I have to type everything down without getting distracted. Third: i have to follow the strategy of ignoring the word count and typing every important information down and improving the text later. This will get me to catch up to the class fairly quickly. Once I'm done with the typing and have more time left, I'll make sure my text meets the word limit and make sure I have all the important information and not the unneeded info. Making imporvements in the text will take up to 15 minutes or so, therefore it shouldn't take me too long to complete the improvements. Whether or not I can complete my essay properly depends on the deadline. If I have plenty of time like: 4 or 5 days I'll be able to complete my essay. The main point is I must not get distracted at any point, it will cost me my time.
