Proactive or Procrastination?

I believe I am a procrastinator. Sometimes I am a procrastinator by not keeping up with things and putting it off to the last minute and get stressed about it the next day because I don't have it done and then I can't even sleep at night because I'm worried and paranoid about not being able to finish the next day.When the next day comes and nobody mentions it to me I tend to forget a lot of things and go on with my day. It usually comes back at me and then I'm slammed with all the work that I have.

My level of productivity relates to me by when I have work to do I would do a little bit of it and then I would go and do other things but my problem is that I put things off till the last minute and I get stressed out. My amount of free time doesn't relate to me by when I am not consistent with my work. I tend to dillydally a lot like I said I'm not consistent with anything really. Sometimes I don't do things because I'm overwhelmed with it and I get uncomfortable

I would like to change my habits by getting things done right away and not putting it off to the last minute and getting it done right away. I would also try to be more proactive and try to get things finished on time or a little earlier than the deadline is due. Some of my habits are forgetting things and procrastinating alot of the time thinking I have all the time in the word. I think I can become proactive but I know only I can change who I am and who I want to be.

back to shool

My favorite moments so far are Art and GT. In art we are practicing drawing and starting mandalas(P.S I don't think I like mine very much). When I first started school I was nervous and didn't know what to do. Honestly Art and GT are my favorite subjects and I don't want to do anything other than these subjects every day. In GT we are of course starting blog writing and still trying to figure out how to use this mouse(it's actually like a pad and pen) it works differently and is weird in a good way though. 

What I want to do to be successful this year is to keep up with my work and try to get at least A's and B's. I think I'm doing good so far but honestly for the future I do not want to fall behind because I get stressed and then get really nervous and don't even want to go to these places anymore because it turns my stomach inside out when I walk inside.I will try to do my best and I think I have the potential to do it to I just sometimes need a little support from other people to get myself motivated to go on.

The Experiment

In the photo shop experiment we are supposed to make up something by our self without Mr. Sanderl 's help. it was sort of hard but I figured it out but then the last time I wanted to work on it I didn't know how to pull it up so I have to start all over again. We did this experiment because Mr. Sanderl wanted to see if we could figure it out our self. Most people like the seventh graders didn't have a hard time but sixth graders like me had a hard time figuring out how to use Photo Shop. Some thing that was good about it is that we learned that you don't need to have help from the teacher all the time you could ask your classmates to help and then we learn to be self directed learners. Some bad things about it were that some people don't know how to do things.

Lessons learned



The most interesting part of our project is going out into the community because this is the first time that I have been in the GT program and this school so I thought that it was a little complicating trying to get all the equipment in place to shoot but luckily my sister and part of my team was there to help each other along the way and work together and get the interviews done.

The biggest road block that we handled was having to re do the interview. Since the person we were interviewing was my dad he let me retake the interview at home. Also the two other people we were supposed to interview both went to Oahu for a business trip so my dad had to find two other people for us to interview. Both went smoothly but I don't think that our last interview went so well because we were running out of questions to ask and once or twice we said the same thing over again.

The most valuable part of film making had to be working together and finding out in like what your strengths and weaknesses are in the film making process because to me that's interesting because you need to know what you and your team can do so you can give everyone a job to do and you know that they can do an excellent job.
