Study Plan

During the week I will be reflecting on all Spanish tenses we've learnt so far.
Yesterday I started working on the latest history essay, apart from that I need to choose topics for literature. One for the most recent assessment for which I have to choose a book, the other one is a comparison of a poem and a short story.
For the last history assessment I need to think about what my European investigation assessment will be on. It wouldn't be that difficult if Evan wasn't asking us to pose a leading question. One possible topic could be about the roaring twenties and the cultural time just before Hitler got to power. At that time Berlin was a cultural heaven; diverse and colourful, with the 'Nastional Socialists' hanging like a carrot above the German people.

It feelss slightly overwhelming, but it is durable.

Study Plan

Spanish Grammar and Vocabulary - planned to read extract of 'La Lengua de Mariposas' and learn new vocabulary; choose a topic on presentation in Spanish. I had begun doing more grammar exercises in Spanish and I am quite pleased about it, as once started motivation comes naturally.

Still have to complete assessment task for Communication class, which I am going to deal with tonight.

The two weeks' holiday would give me the necessary time to catch up with the work.

My Easter Study Plans.

It's ironic that although I have one or two essays to do still, I'm not too bothered with them as such. And like the Spanish I have to catch-up on, I'm confident that I can finish everything off, and be in a better position once we come back for the last term.

Obviously, in the case of the essays - one for Jerry ( if it doesn't get finished tomorrow) and another one for Evan's History class - I would have liked to have finished everything before the break, but if I don't I'm not going to worry about them too much and will finish them off during the holidays instead. It shouldn't be a big deal.

So, in that sense only Spanish remains for the holidays and I'll make preparations to be ready before we leave college on Thursday: Print out all the handouts; make arrangements with extra classes in the library for next term (this has already been done but will have to wait until we see the new time-table to finalise).

And that's it. Maths is completed. Scott's class only requires reading a book and play. Jerry maybe one more essay. One more essay for Evan's history class ( almost done anyway). And then there's Spanish Spanish Spanish!

I know I must sound like a broken record when I say I worry about Spanish. I do, but so be it. I would be more worried however, about why I did not at least attempt to do something about it. We shall see...
