Now I Know

On 13th May 2009, the third assessment notification was distributed. I’m always afraid of assessments. Because assessments are difficult and greatly influence the report grades. This time, we were asked to create a portfolio of academic writing on technology or technological issue. I was excited because the topic is about technology, where we’re living in a world of technology by now.
I chose Nintendo Wii as the topic for my portfolio. For compare and contrast, I used Wii and PlayStation 3. When I started to do a research and plan on my portfolio, I began to complain and get lazy because I found it not easy. But as time goes by, as I understand and forced myself to do the task, then I realized how fun it could be. By doing research, then I know that Wii has online connectivity, backward compatibility, etc. It was like miracle. I never knew about it until today. Thank God for this assessment task that I could do something new with my Wii console that I have at home.
I am really happy though with my works, even though it’s not perfect. But I’m giving my best for it. The hardest tasks for me are the reaction partial essay. The reaction partial essay is kind of hard, because there’s no example of it. But I am satisfied with my complete essay. Because that was the first assignment to be done and I submitted three drafts to be checked. So, I feel confident with my complete essay.
My weaknesses are that I underestimated the assignments when I have finished over my friend’s work. Resulting in late night sleep. By this experience, I learned not to waste my time uselessly before I have finished my works.
