PART 1- Analyzing Self

More to come!


Whenever there are obstacles, I just figure it out. I already have the goal in mind and no obstacle will affect that. I find a way to solve the problem or just find an alternative. The worst thing to do when there's an obstacle is give up, because if you know that's you're reaction more obstacles will arise, but if you are calm and solve them, it's not intimidating.
Overcoming these obstacles is normal, that's what I expect to happen. If I didn't overcome then I would feel very disappointed. I think I'm just naturally an overachiever for these kinds of things so my expectations are high.
I procrastinate for many things, but not for planning SSS events because I love it! It's so easy for me and I like it so there's no space or need for procrastination.
When I feel overwhelmed I write everything I have to do on paper, every single step. The I analyze whether it truly is a lot or if I'm making it up. Usually it's not a lot but if it is I get to work right away to start crossing things off on my to-do list. 
Camila has really helped me because I can trust her with a big project and I know I can focus on something else. This makes it so we can work on several projects at a time.
I think something I did last trimester was work on two big events and then nothing else. I should have managed my time to do things throughout the whole trimester. This trimester we're planning lots of good things.
Right now I really need to work on the Oveja Negra night. The thing with me is when I have something to do, I can't stop thinking about it till I do it. So I got to get this done ASAP.
I like CAS so much better than other classes. It's so much more productive and meaningful. I don't know how much SSS actually helps people but I know that it is a lot of organizing which is a good skill. And for the future could be useful to help others. I learn a lot. But now I wonder if I stay in my comfort zone, to be honest I don't know what my comfit zone is in this realm. Physically, of course, but I mean mentally. That's not necessarily bad because in the future I can do lots. I'm not scared to do things or ask, which makes me think maybe I don't go to my full potential. 
Okay, why am I good at this…? Because I like it? I mean I definitely procrastinate in other things, but I believe this is my passion. I'm good at it because it's for others, if it's for me it would be completely different. I mean honestly, even without CAS I'd being doing this. If I didn't I'd be disappointed in myself. I expect more from myself.
