My Golden Line

"Elaine Stein's words are running hot silver through my veins and I type as fast as I can. Turns out, it is a spectacularly long list." -- Miss Skeeter Chapter 6 p.84

I chose this line because it  meant, to me, that when she got the letter from Elaine Stein, Miss Skeeter was so excited she went ahead and did her task "as fast as she can." But I also believe that the real reason I chose this was because this is what I would do when something like this happens to me in life. Recently, for example, I was asked in person if I can provide entertainment for a birthday party this October. By entertainment, they meant a music show. So when I got home, I rushed to set up a playlist of songs for the party via iTunes very fast and get the tablature and lyrics for the songs I didn't know by hard. That was the happiest day of my life because I have always loved to do a musical performance like this. As of now, I'm still practicing on my final version of the playlist and I cannot wait for the big performance I will be providing at the birthday party!

Being Distractedly Challenged

One self-regulated behavior that challenges me the most is being distracted. It challenges me most because I do not get enough time to finish my homework. Every time I want to finish my homework, I feel like I want to take a break after two hours of doing homework. Not only I want to take a break, but I also want to take a nap. Whenever I am in my break, I play video games, go on the computer and go on Facebook, Gmail, youtube, etc., or even watch television or a movie. Sometimes, while I am doing my homework, I text some of my friends. Also, whenever I have friends come over to my place, I either hang out with them (like going to see a movie, go to places, or eat lunch) or even play video games with them, all while I am still doing homework and/or on break. Another factor that plays a role in, at least, part of my break is listening to music while doing homework. In addition, I would have to configure which songs to play and listen while doing homework. Finally, while I'm still doing homework or even before I start/continue it, I have to do the house chores. Afterwards, I would get tired. This is why I am distractedly challenged...
