CHEW 12 TIMES!











My mom always tells me to chew my food 12 times. This relates to what I said earlier in regards to eating a whale. When we were asked to write an assessment on how we felt we were doing I said that you have to take one step at a time, just like eating a whale one bite at a time. However, what happens after you take the one bite? Well, you have to chew that piece 12 times, that's what. I think my experience with physics has been to say the least interesting. I think that I am doing a decent job at taking each lesson/concept on piece at a time but I am not chewing on each concept. I feel that I should be taking things slower, letting the taste marinate over in my brain so that the concept doesn't just get pooped right out (in other words so I just don't forget it or just know it for the homework or a quiz then forget about it). I think I am taking the right approaches such as reading the book for further reference but I need to keep rereading the parts that are still a bit, those things are like the rough parts of the whale that need 12 plus bites.




Another, contributing factor that is getting some what annoying is the whole trying to go all "techy". The iolanieschool is almost a set back at times. When homework, labs, grades, notes, and etc. can't come up it sets us back from keeping on task and this gets frustrating. I hope that we can get the website error free or at least cut back on it because I feel it's more of a negative, than a positive. Although, I understand that college courses might be similar and I appreciate the technology. Don't get me wrong I love the accessibility of the computer but I just want it to WORK.




Overall it's been good times and I am looking to improve in second quarter....:)
