AIB

My spring break isn’t very fascinating; It doesn’t include trips like going to Mexico, Florida or Hawaii. All I’ve been doing for the past week is taking care of my new puppy, working, hanging out with my boyfreind and friends, and having to do homework. (I’m not thrilled about the homework since this is technically a ”break” from school.) I’ve had a lot of fun with my friend Ashley; we went shopping, out to eat, and just hung out at our houses. I’m very excited about my new puppy, Noel, she’s super cute. She’s only 8 weeks old. Well that about raps it up…I told you it wasn’t very exciting.

The learning styles inventory results showed that I’m a visual learner; I totally agree. I like to see someone visually perform something before I actually try it. I want to make sure that I do it right, so I usually ask someone to show me; if needed. For instance, when being taught how to work the registers at American Eagle I wouldn’t have been able to learn how to work them without being visually shown what you need to do.

My second example is the fact that I can replay movie scenes in my head after watching them. After watching a movie I ‘m able to replay and picture scenes from the movie; days, weeks or months after the fact. It’s a nice benefit for you if you are bored and you can’t find or think of anything to do; you can just sit and relax and replay movie scenes in your head until you find something better to do.

Out of the choices given, I chose to walk around LSC campus during my free time to try and relax and keep my mind off things. I wasn’t satisfied with my writing paper grade and it was starting to get to me. It took a while to get my mind to stay clear, but after I walked around for a while I started to feel more relaxed and carefree.  

Short-term Goals:
#1 I will have both of my journal entries for writing class done by Saturday, February 3.
-I will put my phone on silent during the time I am writing my entries so I don’t have any distractions.
-I will assign myself a specific time to do them. From 12:00-1:30.
-I will work in an environment that is quiet. (my living room in my basement)
-I will work by myself so I don’t get distracted and end up not getting my work done.

#2 I will cook dinner every night; except if I’m working.
-I will brainstorm ideas on paper to see what we could have.
