Today in class I wrote my conclusion and edited half of my work. This time I didn't rush and instead I worked slowly but the quality of my essay was better. I did notice some mistakes in some places and that I didn't include an P.E.A. At the end luckily I was still in the word count limits but very close to exceeding it. I feel like I have done better than before clearly. I used my time wisely. Maybe I didn't accomplish much but still this way my essay would turn out better. I should have done this technique all the time or at least next time. My mind did turn off sometimes because I was thinking of the math test that the class was going to have after class, other than that everything was good.

Day 34
May 25th
Today in class I worked well and quickly all thanks to what Mr. Sparks said the previous lesson. I finished my last characteristic but I did not go over it, instead I directly went on to my conclusion. Mr. Sparks changed his mind again and decided to change the deadline to thursday. I finished my conclusion but I felt like it wasn't good so I deleted it. I wanted to start again but it was to late and I wanted to go get lunch. I think I accomplished a lot but all of my work was sloppy and not well done. I guess if I worked slowly and focused on the quality of my work more than just finishing, I would have a better essay. I did not use my time wisely, I wasted a lot of time because I rushed.
Day 33
May 24th
Today in class I think worked okay. I got to finish my religion paragraphs and I reviewed them. My reviewing isn't that good because I am always in a rush. I wasn't in the mood of working much because it was a Sunday morning. Not the best time to work on my schedule, but not everything goes my way. I could have accomplished more if I concentrated but i didn't have breakfast so that didn't help much either. I guess I learned my lesson for next time if there is. Mr. Sparks was trying to find out how many more days to give us to work and I preferred till the end of the week, but again not much goes my way (I got used to it). He told us the dead line was Wednesday but then we didn't have class on Wednesday so he said Tuesday. That freaked me out like hell but it did give me a boost to work more.
Day 32
May 21st
Today in class I finished my first characteristic, art and architecture. I reviewed again but very briefly to check if I missed anything. Everything seemed fine, but I'd probably find more later on. I just got to start my second characteristic, religion, but I didn't get far with that. I had to get ready earlier a bit to catch my bus before it leaves. I think I worked well because I put lots of effort into my work and used up my time wisely and I didn't goof around much like I usually would. I am fully satisfied with my work for the first time and I intend on staying this way till the end. Next week I think I would be able to finish my essay but not so sure about completing my bibliography. I think I would need another lesson.

Day 31
May 19th
In class I went over my introduction once again because I felt like I could improve it in a way. then I started my first characteristic which was art and architecture. There was a lot to write about so I wasn't able to finish it all, I was only half way through. I finished writing about the pyramids and how they were built. I think I used my time wisely in one way but I did take a break or two. But I still think I did well. In my perspective I think I accomplished a lot. But I still think I did well. I tried my hardest and that's what counts at the end of the day. Next lesson I decided to at least finish the rest of the characteristics and if possible more. this way I can organize myself more. I did feel like I should add more information but if I did I'd probably go over the word count, and anywise what's wrong with being simple.
