As second quarter blogs came around the corner my procrastinating ways started to kick in again. I did decently well on the first quarter blogs, a high B isn't a failure to me, especially with something i had never done before (blogging). I kept my blogs organized well, but time management seemed to be my greatest obstacle. I did a lot of things right on my blog, but there's always room for improvement.
My blogs could have had more creativeness, which is something I will be working on improving this quarter. Also, I need to learn to take advantage of class time rather than mess around. Blogs are much better done in class than at home. To be honest, blogging isn't my favorite thing to do. I would much rather write a paper on my book than have a whole series of blogs to work on. However, blogging is a modern and creative substitute.
I need to set my goals high for blogging this quarter. Time management, creativeness, and focusing on my work are all on my list of goals. Having these attributes would make my blogging days much easier. My book, Half Brother by Kenneth Oppel, is about a family who adoptes a baby chimp to use in an experiment, as the father is a behavorial scientist and is focusing on chimps learning a language. The son and main character, Ben, is conflicted with his feelings about the chimp at first. However, he learns to love the chimp as a brother throughout the novel. When Ben's father decides that the chimp is only an experiment, not a part of the family, Ben has to choose what he will do; listen to his father, or protect his "brother". Find out Ben's journey of moral growth and Zan's, the chimp's, fate by reading Half Brother.
