Worth Missing For...

Honestly, I am getting used to this blogging activity.  And I learn to love this somehow.  Even though this might be my last learning blog to complete the requirement for blogging activity in my English 2 subject, I'm still hoping to continue blogging in my beloved blogspot: Aisha's Notebook in the future.  

I'm going to miss this for sure.  Though I can't deny to myself that this learning blog do add in my weekly budget and consume almost two hours time of my hectic schedule, blogging is absolutely fun.  It stirred up my thoughts and really forced me to remember what I've been doing in my English every week.  When I happen to reminisce them, I began remembering our activities that are worth writing for. 

Every day is both a blessing and a gift from God.  That's is why it's worth living for.  As I live my life to the fullest, this blog will be my friend for all seasons.

No Time to Waste...

Stop the time for me please!...

This Saturday will never be a free weekend for my usual habit for movie marathons and gigs. I suppose my deadlines in English 2 and Natural Science subjects won't be that fun.  I will be writing and thinking and eating and thinking and writing again.  It's just the usual process that won't stop your mind from deep thinking all day through.

Why too pressured?  It's all because of my English term paper requirements that are to be passed next week.  If you like it, I'll be enumerating them one by one.  First on Tuesday: the complete sentence outline of my term paper from introduction, body, to conclusion; and also the note cards with the their references.  Then on Thursday: I am going to submit my term paper's first draft of ten pages, following the correct format as stated in the workbook.  Not to mention my other assignments in my other subjects, my tasks for this week is not that easy to start.  Every time I have many things to do, I simply eat it out, and unfortunately ending the day without any accomplishments.

So pathetic me but true.  It's like my mind hung up with the queues of tasks to be done.  

P.S.  I hope I can meet my deadlines this time.  I hope I can finish them before next week.

Aspiring Critics

As a group activity, we were tasked to comment on another group's sentence outline of their assigned topic.  My group, group 3, was to comment to the work of group 2.  On the other hand, group 4 will give critics on our outline.

Group 3 came up with an "impromptu" outline.  Just another way of confessing of being cramming (LoL). Honestly, that was not a well-thought-of assignment.  Yet we were able to finish our outline when our turn came.  Ma'am asked us to post it on the board.  And one funny thing about it was that Teacher Lynnie asked "what do you call that reading that must be read from left to right?"  Oops, our outline started from the left portion of the manila paper.

Every time there's a "criticizing" activity, there's always that negative notion telling "it's a bit harsh to comment on someone's work well in fact you have your own mistakes.   Maybe, he' just afraid that the owner will be mad at him for giving bad comments (Please don't be...).

However, for my part, giving critics has a positive approach.  It's one way to improve my work by letting other people correct my errors.  Sometimes, there are things that you haven't noticed yet the people around you know about it all the way.  That is why it's always good to ask for others opinions.  In that way, I can be assured of my own lapses.

Underpressured

Our referencing activity was absolutely fun! Though we were only given less time to write all the data from those books and online journals, all five groups really showed how teamwork affects the group's performance.  The time given for every reference we had was only one minute and thirty seconds (OH NO!).

I was one of the representatives of our group who was tasked to write all the needed information for reference writing.  Honestly, I was tensed and pressured because I represent my group.  Well, I just did my best efforts. 

Unfortunately, Group 1, my group, got only 19 points over 40.  We got deductions from the lack of information written in the reference and those extra infos that were not supposed to be there.  Our score did not even reached half.  However, looking at the brighter side of the week's activity, it was fantastic!
