Commenting Metacognition

Powering Through


I am sitting there on my beanbag in my basement as I remember that my last assignment in my weekly assignment sheet is due the next day, so I got to commenting on my classmates posts. After the first two I was doing alright, but I wanted to be done, so I could do some fun stuff with my day and not just sit on my beanbag and do nothing. Once I was halfway done I was very desperate to get this done because I felt like I was close to done, but I wasn’t, so I had to keep working hard. I look outside to see all of the things I could be doing and then I look over to my Xbox and see that I could be playing video games which was to tempting, so I looked away and got back to work. When I was nearing the end all of my energy had been sucked out of my body from reading all of these blogs posts and then commenting in them. Once I was finally done I left my iPad on the ground and I left the room to go do fun stuff. 

     Then I realized that I still had to write the commenting metacognition and that is when I fell to the ground in sadness. As I layer there on the ground I thought to myself on if I should go back down there and write the last two paragraphs of the weekly assignment sheet or not do it now, but I will have to do it tonight.

     Instead of procrastinating even more I decided to go and get the metacognition for the commenting done. While I was reading the instructions I saw that if you write 400 or more words in three or more different paragraphs it will count to a journal entry for next week. Even though I was so torn down and tired I really needed to do this because I do not want to make my future self have to do more work. 

     As I started writing I was going pretty fats and getting some good words on how my commenting went I felt like I may actually be able to do all of the 400 words. After getting to 200 there was so much urge in my body to stop and quit there, but i knew that I had to keep going, so I did. After wring for a little bit more I got to 340 words and I knew I was on the home stretch. I powered through the next 60 words and eventually got it done.
