At this point in the semester I fear I have not accomplished enough academically. It has been a tough past 7 weeks. I have been extremely busy and have not exactly been the best at time management. In English specifically I feel I have gotten a new appreciation for the teacher, and how difficult it is to start up a discussion. I don't know if it is just this class or because it is at 9 30 am but it is hard to get students interested and caring about the topic at hand. Though my midterm grade is not bad, I still hope to achieve the grade I set out to earn in this class which is an A. I know I am able, I just need to buckle down second semester, not only with english, but with all my classes now.
