Revisiting My Writing Process

Below I reflect on blog 1.10 and 1.12 from the first project. As apparent from my answers I have made little progress in changing my procrastination habits but I have tried this semester. Please take a look at my reflection below.

I recently took a look at blog 1.10 and 1.12 from the first week of the semester. Blog 1.10 is about my perceived writing strategy which at the time was a heavy reviser. However, my habits have changed over the course of the semester and I have become a procrastinator. I constantly found myself this semester writing my final draft on the Friday night or Saturday morning before my paper was due. I feel this ties in with blog 1.12 which was about finding time in my calendar to do my English homework. I set aside time during my lunch break to finish blog posts that were due that week that way my Saturdays would not be filled with English homework. However, over the course of the semester my lunch breaks have been full of eating and hanging out with friends.

Now my writing habits and time management skills have regressed. I am constantly rushing or being rushed by a due date to do not only my English homework but homework I have in other classes. What this past semester has told me is that I am going to be an extremely stressed out, college drop out with a lot of potential but lacks the motivation to work hard for a goal. So I plan in the following semesters of my college career to actively use my calendar to plan ahead the studying, homework assignments and major course projects so that I can start these assignments ahead of time. Completely assignments with my full ability will lend better grades and better work.
