4th of november

Halfterm is over and i am back into college, my sleeping pattern remains the same, do work till 2am and then sleep, today i have just been given feedback about my P3 and M1 which i submitted for unit and i am quite annoyed with the result as unfortunately after all my hardwork i didn't meet my criteria, this news i just recieved has spoilt my day and my entire week as i am being told i might not be allowed to re-do my M1, meaning i can only get a pass in this wonderful unit.

Week 8 28th of October

This is the halfterm week, doing all my work that is all due when I come back to college, also trying to have a little rest and I am very happy as I can sleep till whatever time I want without worrying  about waking up early for college. also it will give me time to complete my procedural programming work which is due next week when i get back into college.
so far i have met all my deadlines but have not been told if i met the criteria or not, i will get my result for unit 1 back next week when i am back to college.

　

23-10-2014 week 7 blog update.

This is the last week before the half term, so basically last week of college. This half of the term has been full of ups and downs.

Highlight of this half

- Met all my deadline

- Attendance has been over 90%

- Met every criteria

From my past blogs i have been talking about finding a better storage, well my USB failed me almost making me not meet my deadline, lost my work and had to go to the library to start all over, i just hope i meet the criteria.

I have just built my computer which i installed windows 8.1 on so i will now be using one drive instead of a USB.

New Blog 07-10-14

　
Hello anonymous viewers, back with a blog update. It’s a Tuesday still early in the week, I have 3-4 assignments due this week, which is some what stress as it has me staying up late, but as always I have it under control, as I work from when it is set, the only thing stressing me is if I have done it to the requirement to get the highest marks possible.

Also apart from the serious school life, I will say the social part of college is still not all exciting to me, however, I am more social with the people around me. Have a little laugh once in a while.

I have mastered my route and bus times to be able to get to college on time, so i don't have no problem getting to college.

i have to find a better storage facility as USB is not reliable, and also i need to fix up my sleeping schedule.

Also have been having issues getting home on time due to traffic on the bus route, which makes me have little sleep as I always have to work every week day.

- Meet the required criteria.


Areas I need to work on
- Sleeping.

Things that has gone well so far
- Meeting deadline and criteria.

Week 3 – Reflecting back 23-09-2014

Hello viewers I am back with an update. I have been on time to all my lessons since last week till today.

The assignment I had to submit last week has been marked and scores given back to us students and I will say I was fairly impressed as I passed, I got my P1 in that unit.

Also it is becoming even more hectic, with different assignment being set, today I had an assignment due and I had to stay up all night yesterday till early hour trying to complete it. But overall I will say I have managed to keep on top of it, by going to the library and managing my time well, not letting social activities come in the way of academic work.

My Target For The Week

- Meet my deadline.

- Come on time to all my lessons.

- Complete my p1 for the other units before its due.

Things that has gone well for me

- Coming on time to college.

- Meeting my criteria.

- Managing my time.

Blog Update 18-09-2014

Blog update – recent challenges
Recently my timetable has been changed, the change doesn’t really affect me, in my opinion it is nice as it gives me time to do some work in the library and also to catch up on any work I have missed. But also it could be better to enable us to finish classes early and then finish up the work given from class.

Also in this blog post I have an achievement, some of you know that I attend Richmond college it is a big college and my achievements are;

- I can kind of find my way around the college.

- I have submitted my first assignment which I had done to a very good standard and met the deadline.

- Been on time for all my lesson(so I can achieve my goal of succeeding).

- I have also started asking for feedback from my teachers.

Areas I need to work on


- Time management skills.


- communication skills. 
 

 

Challenges and Experience In College 16-09-2014

Challenges and Experience In College
Hello Viewers, I am back with a blog update coming to share my recent challenges and experience of my first week at college.

I have met my teachers, met some nice females and a couple mates from my tutor group and also other people I am in different lesson with.


Some of the challenges I have faced is:
- Waking up early to get to class at 9am, from where I live to Richmond by public transport is an hour and half+.

- Regardless of me leaving early sometimes the buses I get on terminate at bus stops before where I am meant to get off which made me late today.

- Sometimes I can take train and bus and sorting out my travel fees is sort of an issue.

- I have been giving assignments already which have a vast approaching deadline.


Areas I need to work on
- Asking my teachers for help and feedback in class.

This is it for now, I will be back.

Some Of The Goals

—  What do I want to achieve?

-         I want to achieve the possible best I can in my education which is a distinction.

-         I want to improve my communication skills.

—  How important is this goal to me?

-         This goal is important to me as it gives me a better chance of getting accepted in my next step in life.

-         Also improving my communication skill is important to me as it is a key part in the career path I am chasing.

—  What are the factors that will help me achieve my goal?

-         By completing my assignment to the best level I can and asking questions to know exactly what to do will help me get the highest grades possible.

-         By speaking to more people, trying to ask more questions.

—  Who can help me achieve my goal?

-         My teachers mostly and also with the help of my classmates when it’s a group work.

-         My mentors, friends and family.

—  What are the factors that may stop me achieving this goal?

-         Not concentrating and low attendance.

-         Staying quiet.

—  What is the gap between where I am now in terms of my skills and knowledge, and where I want to be?

-         The gap from where I am now and where I want to be is simply me not knowing enough to get me to where I want to be.

-         Also my communication skill is poor compared to the standards I want.
