Second week of March

Second week of March. Still waiting on UCAS I am the most impatient person in the world so this is proving to be stressful and annoying not know where to go...
Monday Spanish: both Monday and Wednesday, we did a practice run with Jordi for my external exam. It went fine and I need to put in a few more subjunctive words and revise the future I’m still nervous about the test though ,I will be going at the end so I hope the examiner will be tired and not ask me too many questions!
Tuesday in Literature we read a bit more of the book and looked at the history of Congo and the Belgium colonization which was interesting. It's something I knew nothing about.
The book is proving to be a little deep and not really my cup of tea but I always think of it as a new knowledge and hopefully we will be starting to analyze it which is a new skill to acquire. I await this moment with impatience.
In French I did my power point presentation which went really well. Funny it was almost easier in French than it is in English or Spanish!
We then we went on to read about the French colonization and the DOM TOMS
Again I don't know much about the relation France had with the Carabeen.Apparently there has recently been a vote there for a new French policy because with the European goods exportation law in the Dom toms are costing France a fortune and France would like to get rid of some of its financial responsibility there. I also learnt about Haiti, very sad history.
I have 2 more assessments to do in French this week and next and that will be me done!
Communications I have finished the last two written assessments about presentation skills. Still working on my presentation which I hope that by the April holidays will be sorted. I would like to get some more work out of the way before the Easter break, easier said than done!
I think the progression of the communication class is good we have built up a range of skills needed for higher education in a very logical progression. This particular sequence we have been evaluation what a good presentation should look like as well as looking what not to do. The outcome of this will be shown by our own presentation and Scott will be assessing to see if we have learnt how to do a good presentation based on the previous presentations we have been assessing in class. It's a very good idea but again we can only be so good with little experience practice will make perfect.

Friday I did a little research about the Renaissance for Evan. As well as thinking about a historical question for my history project.
