Reflection: 23/08/10

This reflection is for the 23/08/10 even though I'm doing it on the 27/08/10. This is because I couldn't be bothered doing it on that day.

This is our last lesson in the library to take notes from books. For me well I have just finished collecting 8 sources of books, no internet sources because I don't really want any internet sources and plus I believe that they are mostly unreliable. I'm doing well this lesson. No distractions from anyone on my table. Last lesson wasn't that good because I talked all the time because I was just sick and tired of taking down notes and plus that conversation that was going on our table was very interesting.
Again I have finished one sources notes and I'm on to my next one... Oh no!! I'm on to the ones that are from a book with no pictures, it's just a big book with lots of stuff in it... I'm so not going highlight it all and take notes from it... I think I have enough!! But I guess big books has very important information and very useful too... but I just can't be bothered!! So now what... I go look for two more books to complete my collection of 8? Or I put my head down, read this notes and take notes? What the heck I'm going to look for two more interesting books. I went in to the shelfs and I went to the area where it they keep ALL the Alexander the Great books. Ah-ah! I found two books that are REALLY thin and it looks like they have quiet a bit of GOOD and solid information. I took those books and put them over where my stuff was and then I checked if anyone who was doing Alexander the Great had any books and put them on the books for everything. There wasn't really many books on him, mainly on WWII in The Pacific and the Roman Empire. So many people are doing these topics... I was going to do The Pacific but I thought I knew some stuff about it and I wanted to do something on the Ancient World.... well actually I was in decision on whither I should do The Pacific of Alexander the Great... but then (of course) I went for Alexander the Great because I thought he would be easy. Because naturally it's on one person and you can mainly focus on that person, secondly I would be the only one doing this topic so I wouldn't be fighting over books like some of my class mates do. And lastly I found Alexander the Great very interesting and I didn't know much about him and I was quiet interested in doing the topic so I went for it.
Tomorrow's lesson I'm not going to be here because I'll be at Eisteddfod playing my non-heart out. Tomorrow the rest of the class will be on the laptops in the library and they will be looking up internet sources and doing internet things. I told Ms O'Neill about this and she said ask how many sources I had and I told her that I have 8. I also told her that I wasn't interested in having internet sources and she told me, when it's time to start writing our essay and if I don't have enough information about a certain focus question than I can look up on the internet and check for more information... so I thought that was fair request and I left it as that.
