BOB

Hi, here's my reflection for this Unit.

pro·cras·ti·nate (pr-krst-nt, pr-)
v. pro·cras·ti·nat·ed, pro·cras·ti·nat·ing, pro·cras·ti·nates
v.intr.
To put off doing something, especially out of habitual carelessness or laziness.
v.tr.
To postpone or delay needlessly.


I'll start off by saying that I knew just about nothing about this unit until I spent the last couple days working on it. I procrastinate, somehow thinking that I can put off doing any of the work until a couple days beforehand, just so I can have a little extra time. Well, it doesn't work. The point of those last statements is that I screwed up, and is mostly a public apology to myself for not trying and being lazy.Get in gear, jerk. =p

Anyways, I'm starting to find that this Unit is much easier then the previous ones. When I took the Pre-Test, I didn't understand anything at all, but now I'm beginning to understand.

This unit is very flexible. There are several different ways to achieve the answers for the most part and I like that.

Once we remember all the different identities, it's almost fun to try and plug them in to prove whatever is asked. I would cover all of them here, but since "renster" along with the others covered this so brilliantly, I would just sound like a broken record.

What really caught me off guard is the use of the Unit Circle. I didn't expect it would show up again, and I need to re-look over it to refresh my memory.

That's my reflection/BOB for this unit. Good luck on the test.

  1. Hi ConstantEcho,

    I've discovered the hard way that procrastination can become a habit! I hope you are already at chapter 5 of this short autobiography?

    There's A Hole In My Sidewalk: AUTOBIOGRAPHY IN FIVE SHORT CHAPTERS
    by Portia Nelson

    Chapter 1
    I walk down the street.
    There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
    I fall in.
    I am lost.... I am hopeless.
    It isn't my fault.
    It takes forever to find a way out.

    Chapter 2
    I walk down the same street.
    There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
    I pretend I don't see it.
    I fall in again.
    I can't believe I am in the same place.
    But, it isn't my fault.
    It still takes a long time to get out.

    Chapter 3
    I walk down the same street.
    There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
    I see it is there.
    I still fall in.... It's a habit.
    My eyes are open.
    I know where I am.
    It is my fault.
    I get out immediately.

    Chapter 4
    I walk down the same street.
    There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
    I walk around it.

    Chapter 5
    I walk down another street.

    Best,
    Lani
