The narrator knew she was depressed because she had awakened everyday for a period of time feeling down, worrying about bills and the man in her life vacationing with his ex. She had consulted with a doctor who wanted to prescribe her medication, which she was not opened to. She knew what would make her “happy” again even if it wasn’t a good idea at the time. She wanted to go winter camping with her dogs in weather that reached almost 40 degrees below zero putting not only herself in harm’s way, but her dogs as well. I feel like she suggests that in order to take the steps to get better or come out of depression you have to work on yourself and do things that make you happy and/or feel good. Everyone does not know how to do this and sometimes medication is needed to avoid any self harm etc. With this being said, I feel her claim does have merit because this method worked for her and possibly thousands of people including myself.

The assignment I most enjoyed was A06, on Mistry's 'Squatter.' I believe this is because I am working towards an English Literature Degree and also I love fiction. And I very much liked researching the Parsi people and the different cultures involved in the story. I earned higher marks for the essay on religious dissent (AO4), but I know that I was distracted from the essay question with my enjoyment of Mistry's story and need to remember to pay attention to the question and what it is asking me for. My tutor had also commented on this on my AO2, 'Stay focused on what is being asked

The first thing we need to look at is what is a study skill? Study skill is methods and techniques that aid with peoples learning and what you would use in your day to day life at work.

The three strengths that I use most effectively to study are, firstly is plotting the times of my lectures and tutorials on a calendar to know when they are and to give myself the required time to study for each session, another big thing about having a calendar is also to have the due dates of assessments on it. Secondly, in a lecture taking notes is the main focus in my studies at home, I am able to provide myself with clear and precise notes to keep a grasp of the information I learnt in the lecture. Finally, I always try to be on time to my lectures and tutorial so I do not miss out on anything I need to know for my studies.

Since I studied at Stamford International University, my writing skill gain a lot of improvement on many specific aspects such as grammar, critical thinking, logic, style of writing as well as the way I explore idea on the paper. On my ACP2, it was my first term to study at Stamford when I had no idea about how to create proper essay. My old knowledge of English cannot be applied at all during that time. However, after I studied for a few weeks, I became more confident when I start writing an essay. That was because I have improved my skill. After I finished the course and move toward Eng101 and Eng102, I felt that English is an interesting subject of never ending lessons to learn.

I have become more proficient in my study skills and organization skills. When we have a test in class I study more often and I don't leave it at last minute like I used to. I have taken the time out of my day and force myself to study. I do not procrastinate like I used to, and I get my work done. Days before the test I will spend my time studying for about 3 hours a day with breaks in between. In class I have gotten better at organization skills. I used to forget or leave it till the end of class to write the homework, that would usually result in my forgetting to write my homework down in my planner. Now I write down my homework or any other assignments in beginning of class. This has lead to me to completing my assignments and not forgetting them and then doing them at last minute. I have also bought more folders for each class, because I used to have two folders and put everything in the same folder. Now with my new folders I am able to store everything separately and know where each paper is.
