Research Prompt #3

Each week I decide to spend the most time on whatever is necessary for that week. It seems that teachers just so happen to give all the same type of work around the same time. So in one week I have all my tests, and therefore are studying for those tests. In other weeks I have many chapters to read for each class so I spend my time reading. It seems that this week I have many papers, essays, and projects to do so I spend my time doing things of this sort. I usually do what I intend to do, although sometimes I get side tracked and end up putting on a movie or going on facebook. If I am doing work for too many hours in a row then I get anxious and need a break, so I do something else for a few minutes and that turns into hours. But I have recently discovered a way to stay focused that I never use to do before, the library.

Until this week I didn't know that the library could help me stay so focused on my work. I am not sure what it is, but lately when I go to the library I seem to stay focused on my work for much longer. It may be something about the atmosphere, less distractions, or the fact that everyone else in there is doing work also. I never use to go to the library to study but I have come to realize that it is good to get out of your room to study. Cause your room and apartment is where I have fun, so the library is a place where I can go to study and focus on school work.

So far in this class, I have figured out that to understand what’s going on, I have to. . . write everything down! If I do not write something in my agenda I will not remember to do it. It helps me to organize my life, if I write a to do list.
