Last week i did alot better at studying. it helps me having a printout of what i need to do so i can refer to it without going online. also setting more specific targets in spanish homework has helped. i think my spanish is still very poor and i need alot more work but setting smaller targets i think will help me achieve better results. i am happy that so far this week i have already finished one essay and have made good progress on another. i hope to be finished all four due in december by next friday so i can really focus on my spanish.

review the last weeks

In the last few weeks i feel my studying in my own time has improved. In the beginning i was easily distracted and found i would go days telling my self i would study in an hours time or it would be fine to do it tomorrow. i feel i did this because i lacked a plan of what to do and was trying to start studying without even knowing what subject i was going to study. i have had a lot of problems doing essays in my own time. i find it hard to start working unless it is totally necessary (due tomorrow). i need to plan what part of the essay I'm going to focus on rather than looking at it as one huge entity. although i am doing alot of work now in my own time which is good i still am not doing what i have written on my targets diary. i need to look at this everyday and write my progress daily i feel if i write the progress once and have achieved what i am set out to do it will encourage me to continue doing what i planned. progress has been good but i still need to stick to my plan then it will become easier especially with regards to essay writing.
