Unit 1 BOB

When I first started this class I was expecting it be more like my previous math classes. I was expecting to start slow and gradually work into harder work in a larger quantity. However, when I got a packet of homework on the third day I was surprised. I was not completely used to my new routine schedule since summer ended and school started. I procrastinated a lot and did not ask for help for the few problems I would work on. When I realized the deadline was coming up I knew I had to kick it up a notch. I did not understand a lot of the work that I was attempting to do and felt bad asking  Mr. Jackson a question every ten seconds. I worked out what I could and once I finally decided to ask for help I started to make a lot of progress. I finished two packets within a couple days and was feeling good. However, with each day I received more homework that was due at the same time as everything else and began to feel overwhelmed. I decided to make a point on getting as much work done as possible before it was due. I went home after soccer practice, grabbed some food, my homework and extra pencils and headed into my room to begin working. by the time I had everything set up to begin I had ate the last piece of my birthday cake and had about a liter of Mountain Dew ready to keep me up as long as I needed. While I dug into the math, I got stuck on some of the problems involving radicals and took a couple breaks here and there as I asked my dad for some assistance over the phone. Once I was past the hard stuff I focused on finishing as much work as possible. I worked hard into the night until I felt like my body was going to shut down before i could finish. I completed most of the homework to the best of my knowledge and turned it in after I finished the second part of the test. Next time I will be sure to prioritize my work better.
