Today Is Aweome

Hello everyone!

My week has been pretty insane.
I've spent lots of time working out a way to make every situation a positive one.
I'm pretty behind in my school work, and I'm using it as a way to see why I need to stay ahead of schedule.
Figuring out how to plan out my time, has been an awesome experience.
I know that I can't get all of my late work done in one day so scheduling out time to work on late work has been a great learning experience.
Due to all my late work, I know my grades will not be up to my usual standards. 
The acceptance process has been interesting. 
I have realized that while my third quarter grades will not reflect what I am capable of, I know that I will use my last school quarter to show my teachers how much I can do.

I still have not received any submissions for the design contest.
In order to see if the design contest is of any interest to anyone, I am going to request that if you are thinking about submitting a design, please let me know via the Today Is Awesome email: todayisawesomeemail@gmail.com

I apologize for not having any videos up on AlwaysAwesomeDays.  I believe it is more important for me to hand in all my late work before I set up another network of awesomeness. Thank you for understanding. :)

Today is Awesome because I got to eat lunch and write this blog.  It’s the middle of the school day, and I am so happy to be writing during school, the time of day I find it most difficult to see as awesome.

Here are some tips I find useful to see class time as awesome:
1.      Put everything except materials on the subject away.  This mean, no phones, no side conversations, and no homework in class. Focus on the subject right in front of you.
2.      Love the way your teacher teaches a subject.  Trust me. I’ve had some teachers with teaching styles that did not work for me.  If you’re having trouble learning material, go and talk to you teacher. BE IN COMMUNICATION. But really, see you teachers teaching technique as a sign of dedication.  Teachers are there to help you.  All of the exams and notes and homework they give is a way for them to show that they want you to succeed.
3.      Sit next to someone who won’t be a distraction. Sometimes it isn’t the best idea to sit next to your best friend.  If your friend can be a reference to you at the same time not be a distraction, then that’s best.  It’s always nice to be next to someone who you can go to with immediate questions. Again, avoid distractions.
4.      Don’t get frustrated.  It’s not easy to look at a subject as awesome if you don’t understand it, but the important thing is to ask questions, and get involved if you don’t know the material.  Getting angry does not work, asking questions does.
5.      Get involved.  Participate in class.  It’s a great way to get participation points and at the same time, it keeps you concentrated on the subject.  For people who are shy and don’t like to participate, it’s an awesome way not to close up, and it gives you the opportunity to let your voice be heard.
6.      Finally, ASK QUESTIONS! I know I mentioned this earlier, but it really does make the class interesting.  Knowing the material helps keep a class interesting.  If you don’t know what’s going on, don’t be afraid to find out. 

I hope these tips help make every day interesting, fun, and awesome.

A day is as Awesome as you make it and Today is Awesome.
