Good evening, morning, or whatever time of day it is that you may read this. This last week and a half has been clumped with many academic assignments and tasks to complete including preparing for my spring semester classes and doing a bunch of laundry. As usual, before I get to the big topics from my FYE classes after I go over a brief analysis of my week.
Starting off the week was a terrible, no good Monday. On Monday, I spent several hours wrapping up a huge project for my Engineering Graphics class. Finishing that project was a grueling task and covered up a hot amount of my time on Monday. After that task was completed, the rest of the week went a bit better and according to plan. On Tuesday, I went to a FYE Success Series about succeeding through struggle and persevering through college and life to pursue the goals in front of you. The kickball playoff games I was supposed to play during the week got postponed. Besides having a slow and busy start to the week, Wednesday and up through the weekend were less stressful and allowed me to focus on my goals and tasks moving forward. Now onto the FYE topics from the last week which are relevant to the upcoming tasks in front of me in my college career.
On Monday, our class was visited by the Honors Advisor of Erin Martin who helped go over some important things regarding the upcoming date for early registration for spring semester classes. Martin went over some of the essentials steps and tips in order to get the classes we want as fast as we can on the day of registration. We also went over all the possible problems and error messages that could arise when we are signing up for classes. We are required to look over if we have any holds or preexisting conditions on our account before we sign up for classes because that will affect whether we can sign up for classes or not the day of registration. In the midst of registration, there will be many Honors students fighting for limited spots in particular Honors classes which means that I will have to set those classes as I priority to get to first day of registration. Before class on Wednesday, we had to read an article over the 'Art of Powerful Questions' to prepare for discussions in Wednesday's class. Starting off Wednesday's class, we answered a few questions on a sheet of paper regarding the article that we read. One of the questions on the sheet asked that if we could ask a powerful question regarding any of the discussions over the semester what would it be. My question asked about how the FYE class would impact us here on out throughout our college careers. While some people could give a simplistic answer to this and depict a given circumstance or situation, anyone could give a different perspective on how the FYE class from this semester could or could not have an impact on ourselves throughout our college career. Referring back to the article, the art and complexion of a powerful question can impact how a person responds to a question and how they access the situation at hand.
Personal Reflection
Going over class registration and powerful questions this week was very impactful and important. Registering for classes is very crucial as it sets me up for my next semester at Georgia Southern as I continue to work towards my goals in college and to become a mechanical engineer. Being able to make sure everything goes right in the registration process is very important as well. Asking powerful questions and questions in general is heavily important because I need to be able to step and ask the right questions that will benefit me and allow me to complete the tasks at hand. I thank everyone that read my blog this week. Sorry it was not filled a ton of information and shorter than usual. Listed below are the sources to articles and pictures used in this blog.
