RIGHT ON

Finally, I think I'm on the right track. I knew I could do it but I was a little disappointed by the system and blamed on the machine as I developed a strong negative feeling toward it. It was simply the matter of time. I figured out that it all began with simple misunderstanding and it could have been resolved earlier if it was less puzzling. However, I was pretty much pleased by the outcome.

PRIDE AND HOPE

Most of all, I regained my pride and hope to support myself for the excellency in the future. I knew there would be no greater hardship in the future. I was really confident that I can face and overcome any other problems. I was ready to catch up with some of sub-tasks that I had struggled with for the misunderstanding. I know that there are still some modifications that I am supposed to make but it is only the matter of time because now I can manage my emotion toward the work successfully. I felt lacunae about my fossilized error and thought that I need to utilize what I have learned from those repeated lapses.

GENERATION1

Assignments for the this week was relatively easier than last week. I didn't have that much trouble to learn and interpret how it works. I was thrilled just by thinking about connection to Generation 1. I thought it was really cool because I was approaching a small history through the Internet. It just seemed like a great concept.

POSITIVE FORCE

My positive feeling about the task surely seemed to work as a positive force that help with my interpretation and acquisition. I thought that I need to put some more effort for my files because in the near future one of Generation 3 members might have a chance to access my file.

ENJOYING

I didn't have to strive that much for accuracy on Internet tasks like copying and modifying a file, ftp the file over, and view it in pico. It was just hard to believe how much I enjoy the stuffs. I was actually enjoying surfing in the Net. I thought about my better interpretation and less time that takes to get accuracy with tasks. I came to a conclusion that I had enough motive to persist with tasks and that was my interest. I was simply interested in the stuffs. It surely helps with my focus on the tasks and also made me achieve engagement on Internet. Without notice, I have developed a sense of self-confidence after going through a hard time. I might have desired for mastery on Internet tasks to keep up with my self-confidence.

ANALYSIS OF ME

I was interpreting figures without finding any notable differences among sub tasks. Maybe, it's all due to my strong sense of engagement to the tasks. I was capable of overcoming difficulties in interpretation. Still, there I had a fossilized error that I didn't look for help whenever I confronted with any trouble. I always made it through somehow but there was no systematic approach to tasks and related tasks. It was like my myth that I can only learn from my errors and it is just natural for me to have all those repeated lapses since I don't ask for help. It was such an irony that I felt lacunae with my being stubborn and keeping up with my myth. What do I need to do about it? I guess I don't have choice about this maladaptation of mine. I guess I have to be simple as possible. I need to identify my problem as it occurs. At the same time, I must think about my cognitive defect that I enjoy struggling. Then, I let my affective and cognitive domain communicate and help them come to a conclusion that I need to learn from those who know not from my mistakes. By doing so, I can progress and develop a trend in various ways of acquisition. My conclusion is that communication with my affective and cognitive domain as I work with Internet and it is the only resolution for mastery on Internet tasks.
