Final Goal Reflection Post (Please, Bear With Me)

2008-12-10T12:52:00.000-08:00

Goal 1 Progress: I think that I have made some progress in applying myself to maths, but not a lot. Next year i will apply myself fully from the start and not be a nuisance to the teachers.

Goal 2 Progress: I think that its now not a matter of being lazy, but of feeling like doing everything. for instance, last time we did the fitness course, i didn't do much, but the time before that, i did it all.

Goal 3 Progress: It seems that everybody has their pet hates that cant be changed. ah well. Over And Out!

Goal Reflection (God You Must Be Tired Of These By Now)

2008-11-26T15:22:00.000-08:00

Goal 1:I'm a very bad boy. I STILL haven't changed my attitude to maths, haven't even tried. Maybe if i had a constant reminder to apply myself to maths then i might see some improvement.
Goal 2: I have improved a little in this area, but maybe thats just cos we're playing games at the moment.
Goal 3: No improvement. i guess im just not a people person.

Reviewing my Goals (Again)

Okay. I admit it. It seems as though my old habits are going down, but with a massive struggle. sometimes, i can stop myself from correcting people, sometimes i can't. I am going to try my very hardest, from the moment i get to school, to do my maths, to do p.e. properly and to just ignore what other people say that might not be grammatically correct. yes, groan however much you like, thats just one of my pet hates. Over And Out.

Reviewing My Goal Progress

2008-11-03T12:21:00.000-08:00

So far, not so good. It seems to me that old habits die hard. Still, you cant expect an attitude towards MATHS of all things to change overnight. Same thing goes for Phys.Ed. BUT i am getting better with the impulse to automatically correct people, but it does require a very conscious effort. Over and out

My Goals

2008-11-03T12:08:00.000-08:00

Goal 1: To apply myself more to my maths work by not slacking off and doing minimal effort

Goal 2: To not laze around when i do Phys.Ed. eg: To try and do the things on the fitness course.

Goal 3: To tolerate other peoples flaws better, as i know i have some myself. Ie: I am infuriated when people mispronounce words.
