Assignment 24 - Benjamin Givens

Academically, the year was defined by the word "acceptable." I got good enough grades and I am happy with my test scores. The stress involved with missing a bunch of days due to illness and trips wasn't great, but the trips themselves were great experiences. I learned a lot about managing my time and work load as well as accepting a lower quality of work when the amount of tasks demands it. This summer and my senior year I hope to spend more time working on programming projects while still keeping up with homework. To accomplish this goal, I plan to more clearly set time aside for certain activities, as I have found that it is way easier to something when it is a habit. Things assigned on a regular basis are much easier to do, so if I assign them to myself on a regular basis it might mirror the effect.
