Proactive or Procrastination?

To be honest, I'm a procrastinator. I know when stuff are due and sometimes I just barely finish it. I always try not too procrastinate because it sucks. Seriously, I don't like it because it makes my parents mad and I get grumpy when I have to do work. I really want to get rid of this habit. Not only do I blame myself for this, I blame the projects. Usually I would blame myself, but to be honest, some of the projects that I have to do are to hard, a lot of work, and sometimes the team you have is not a really good team. I work hard but honestly, I'm a procrastinator.

My level of productivity relates to my amount of free time by the faster I get things done then the more free time I get. Since I'm a procrastinator, I barely have free time. Sometimes homework that I have to do that are very easy I usually put those to the side then work on the bigger homework like projects or quadruple homework. Then I just forget about it. Then I have no free time and I get stuck doing a lot of homework. So being a procrastinator can take away not only your free time, but it also takes away other people's free time. Not only does it stress you but it stresses everybody else.

If I could change anything about my work habits, I would work on my OWN desk and listen to music while I'm doing math and those things. the desk because I don't have my own desk that I can put my things on. Music because it is one of the things that I like to do and I work faster listening to music.Getting my own desk would be hard and I don't know how to get the desk. The music will be easy because all I would need to do is just grab my small speakers (which is actually pretty loud), connect the speakers to my Ipad (the speakers are also wireless so I don't need that cable to plug into both of them), then make a playlist with all the music I like. I'm sure hat these will work because it will make home work sometimes fun. But I still procrastinate and I will try to grow out of this habit!

Lessons Learned

     The most interesting part about me and my teams project is that were almost done. I'm surprised that we're almost done because this is a hard project and it's not due in two weeks. The first interview was with Mrs. Lardizabal and the interview was bad because we could hear static more then Mrs. Lardizabal. So the second interview, you could still hear a little static be not that much.

     The biggest road block was deciding on the topic of our story. First we tried too do the carnival but it was only three days. Then we tried too do apple vs samsung but we were all too scared to call the manager and ask if we can video. Finally we all decided to make a profile story on Mrs. Lardizabal. We all thought that news stories were to hard to do. So we did a profile story. Right when we changed our story, we had to finish our profile pitch sheet that was due I think two days after we changed it. But we managed to finish it.

     I think the most valuable part of the filmmaking prosses is making the interviews long and usefull because some people always make a short ansewer and that anoys me, so we have to make a question that will have a long answer with very usefull facts. Our questions for Mrs. Lardizabal was very usefull and long but some of the questions for the students was a little short but still a little usefull. I think the most valuable part is making the interviews long and usefull.

Back To School

When I came back too school I expected more, and my prediction was correct. Middle school is hard, but I know I'll get used too it. My favorite moment so far was interviewing Mrs Lardizabal. It was fun setting up the camera and asking her the questions we made. 

My biggest challenge is using the bell schedule and remembering the times in school.
