Rampage Reflection #5

I though for a moment my numbering was off and had a mini heart attack while looking at my grades. Luckily the syllabus has them numbered!

Anyway, in order to make my Unit II: What Do You Need to Do to Get There? essay a good, strong essay, I will actually need to write more than one really rough, thumbnailed draft before calling it good and turning it in. Doing things last-minute is unfortunately how I work best, it’s just never going to be super polished, and it should be polished if I want to have a good grade.

According to the professor, the fact that I already have a detailed plan of what classes I need to take and what backup plans I have already set in place planned out as well isn’t enough. I’ll need to look into building an interpersonal network, researching if retail is really where I want to go (it is, but the suggestion was worth noting and exploring), and basically trying to expand my plan. For me, this is not easy! I work best last-minute for a reason: trying to focus on the future is extremely difficult due to a lot of personal issues, and I know all too well that planning too far ahead means a greater likelihood that things will collapse unless you have a good series of short-term structures underneath.

We’ll see how that goes.
