Reflektshun

So, the semester is coming to an end. I'm happy yet sad (not really) about it.

I'm doing well or at least alright in all of my classes except one (this one).

I'm enjoying my guitar class. I finally see myself grabbing on to being able to read music well. Before now I've just been using my ears and figuring out how to play certain songs. That's something that's really good too but it's important to be able to read music as well.

My English class is easy as pie... or a piece of cake. All we do is debate and write essays. I try to make sure I participate in class discussions so I don't fall behind. I've gotten really good grades on all of my essays and I've turned in all of my homework so I'm not worried about that class.

My Math class however... I dunno. I'm passing but it's not as easy for me like all my other classes are. Math has never been a strong subject for me. It's not like I don't understand it, I just hate doing the same thing over and over... and over. I lose motivation when it comes to math real fast.

The only class I'm not doing well in is my reading class. I understand everything... I really don't think I should be in this class. Honestly, this is probably the easiest class I have. It's ironic to me that it's the only one I'm failing. I've done the reading. I've even read the book when we weren't necessarily supposed to. At the beginning and even now, I was never able to get any of the materials for the class. I spent all my money for books and whatever else for my other classes. It's not an excuse. I don't know exactly why I'm not putting in the energy for Reading like I do with my other classes. I guess it has something do with the fact that this is the only class where I feel like I'm back in High School. I don't do well with the highlighting and the SQ3R or whatever it's called. I don't work like that. I've tried to use that technique and it only makes things take a helluva lot longer and it makes it harder for me to retain information. In all honesty it actually kind of bugs me that this class forces students to use SQ3R (forgive me if that's now what it's called). It's one thing to teach it so students are aware of it but to force them to use it is not something that I'm a fan of. That's just my opinion, I'm sure you'll probably disagree with some if not all of what I just wrote.

Anyway,

So,
The part that kind of makes me sad about the semester coming to an end is the fact that I probably won't talk to a lot of the new people that I've become friends with. I've sort of adopted a new a daily routine to revolve around my classes and now I'll have to come up with another new one next semester. It's all good though. I enjoy school and I don't really want to wait for next semester. I'd rather just go to school continuously.
