It was the first day of school and as all first days I was tired and bored. I wasn't motivated to do anything on that day so all I was going to do was sit down and listen to music.
When entering my first class of the day which was an English class I was expecting to receive a syllabus or something like that, but to my surprise something very unexpected happened. As the teacher stood up from his chair and introduced himself he asked us a very weird and unexpected question. He told us if we wanted to learn the same old boring way or if we wanted to learn in a new way that he called Open-Source Leaning. After explaining to us what this was he told us to discuses among ourselves and decided how we wanted to learn. He also said that while we were discussing he was going to step out of the class and that to call him in when we were ready to choose the way we were going to learn.
My initial experience with the journals was not that good. I would write short answers to the questions that were asked so all my journals were about 3-5 lines long. As for my blog I wasn't doing that well either. I wasn't really posting anything because I was procrastinating a lot. Now I think that I'm doing better in both of these things. My journals are now at least half a page and I also posted some posts on my blog. I have also gone back to read some stories that we read in class like Earth on Turtles Back, Young Goodman Brown, and my favourite The Pedestrian.
In class there was a point where the tension started to build up. I wasn't doing that well in the class so I didn't know if I was going to even pass the class. I started to panic a little and started to think about what I could do to improve the grade I had so I can pass the class. So what I did was try to do what I was already doing a lot better and didn't really concentrate on the past because it was to late to fix it.
I have improved in many ways since when I first entered in this class. I have become a better writer and I have also learn better ways to memorise.
