Week Three: Intern Response

The four hours I spent at "PigPen" Studios were spent in quite reflection watching Daniel work his mixing board while working on multiple songs of the band Stero Gun. Their sound was a mix of Emo rock with back Screamo vocals, needless to say I was less than eager to hear their songs continuously for hours. I understand that it is part of the job and think I could handle it despite it's repitative nature.

Other than being the observant intern, I cleaned rooms and took trash out to the dumping can. I was locked out of the studio for nearly twenty minutes when I got back with the first load of trash cans, I have since learned the code and can no longer be locked out when taking the trash. I enjoyed my time this past week and am eager to return tommarow.

Week Three: Combating Procrastination

Ways to Avoid Procrastination
1. Finish early by starting right away and not stopping until the assignment is complete.
2. After finishing find productive things to do, to make the work load of the futuer lighter.
3. If you need a break to refresh your brain power, take a small break and then begin working again.
4. In spare time, engage in brain stimulating activies, such as writing, drawing, playing an instrument, or philosophizing.
5. Keep your mind concentrated on finishing your work as well as possible the first time, so that you don't have to make as many corrections.

Week Three: Task Two; Habits for Better Note Taking

Habits for Better Note Taking:
1. Keep notes organized and understandable.
2. Keep notes color cordinated to make studying more efficient.
3. Make notes on only primary information that is more likely to be on quizes and test.
4. Seperate notes in sections of relative information.
5. Review notes on small time basis daily to keep information fresh in your mind and out of the time fog.

Week Three: Task # 1: Two Important Skills

Being prepared is the first basic step to succeding in any class in any level of education. Each class has a different criteria, with differnt needs. It is highly important to note each classes needs for a good work ethic to be easily found within the block's time frame. It is easy for a disorganized individual to loose track of his required resources in the depths of the time fog. Starting as quickly as possible is the easiest way to shrug the time fog off. If one begins their duties as quikcly as possible, they will finish as fast as possible and have more time to prepare for other classes or assignments of due in the future.

Me in ten years from the ominous now

In ten years I will have walked many a path that will have opened many an eyeball. I will have a much more down to earth view of the ways to the world and it's happenings. I think I will have completed my college education within ten years and will have decided upon a carrer and started to pursuee it.
To get where I want to go I need to learn what It is like to only depend upon one's self. I think living a year or so after high school without attending college will definitely impact this message well enough. To live without great amounts of money has two benefits, it make's someone more resourceful and more self relieant.

Task Two:

Highly motivated students usually posses similar qualities in thier personalities and work habbits. These qualities and usually but no limitied to: High expectations of their work and Learning from mistakes. One with higher expectations of themselves is likely to try harder for a much more specific end goal. Those who can learn from their mistakes must view each step of the process their job requires of them. These two qualities almost guanrantee an hard worker.

Task One:

My worst habbit in a learning environment is not completely learning from my mistakes. This is because I repeat mistakes until I fully understand what I am doing that is creatin it. Sometimes it can take me a long while to fully understand the many differnt cases of action and reaction. I should learn to understand the mechanics of the task at hand more thouroughly.
