This semester in English I studied Inuit culture and the events in history that threatened their culture. In history, I studied architecture the colonial time period, specifically the Georgian and Adam styles, and how these two styles were connected to social class. It was an adjustment getting used to making my own schedule and deciding what to study. Adjusting to making my own deadlines and goals was kind of challenging, at first I set goals that were way too ambitious and just stressed me out. I thought I could read five chapters per week and finish the book in two weeks, but that ended up being too much. The chapters were long and there was so much information to absorb and take notes on. Plus doing further research about things I read to better understand, and other research for my project. That taught me that I need to set more realistic goals. Plus I work better if I’m not stressed or rushed. My intention for the next semester is to set realistic goals that won't cause me lots of stress but to do more work.

Time Management
So far this year I’ve managed my time by dedicating one band per blue day to one subject. I try to plan when I’ll do all of my homework but sometimes that plan doesn't work out because I spend too much time on homework for other classes.
Accountability
I have done a good job with accountability this quarter by showing up for all my meetings. If I’m out for a day I plan ahead or email that person to let them know I won't make it.
Demonstration
So far all of my learning is demonstrated in my notes, but I plan to write more and show my learning in other ways as the semester goes on.
Self Advocacy
When I need help with something I ask my advisors or other pilot students who have been in pilot longer and can help me.
