21/10/20
This week there are many works and the SAT exam that I also

That's why I decided to listen to the song frequently instead,
so I used to the rhythm of the song.

try to answer them.

23/10/20
● Gather the first interview video with the guide sheet &
rubric, the WOOP sheet, and the SOP outline into the
google drive
● GOAL
○ This week I didn’t get much sleep and I didn’t
study efficiently due to the school work as I
didn’t well manage the schedule. So, next week I
decided to create a planner for November.
26/10/2020
Today, I created the link for the e-port and chose the template, but
didn’t create the page yet. Furthermore, I started to work on my
goal(self-management).
● Created e-port
● Goal
○ Order the importance in November, so it helps me focus
on the priority things first. Also, put the due date for
each achievement, so I am able to plan the time
efficiently.
○ Last week was my first try to study both biology and
doing school homework and it was very messy, and I
had very little time to sleep. So, this week I decided to
create a planner for each day after school about what I
need to finish each day. So, I’m focusing on the
important things first, and able to manage my time
wisely.

28/10/2563
● SOP
○ Start writing the first draft

29/10/2563
● SOP
○ Get feedback from Ms.Sandy, Ms. Fon, and High.
○ I let Ms.Sandy scored and she gave me 4.5/6

RESULT FROM LAST WEEK: Week of

October 24 – 29
● After I created the planner it does make me become more organized and able to finish the task
more efficiently. For example, I decided to finish the homework for each day first and then started to
study biology for the SAT until 1 am, which is my deadline time to sleep. I still listen to the song I
want to practice, but I think I will start practicing it soon after the exam.
Week of October 30 - November 6:
● Goal
● I was distraught with myself when I studied Biology; last week because I was not able to reach a goal I
had set. This causes me to skip school this week, and I would like to use the time I have at the most
efficient.
● My obstacles while I was studying that cause my time to waste is social media. So I decided to turn off
my phone while I studied, and that helped a lot.
● However, I still used the computer but only for the work, and prefer opening the song that has no lyric
and “lofi” version.
● This week I decided to focus on the SAT biology test because I have an exam on November 7. So, I will
postpone all the projects I have to finish on the weekend, however, I am still finishing all the homework
that needs to be done.
● I need more time to study Biology, so I decided to skip school for 2 days.

RESULT FROM LAST WEEK Week of October 30 –

November 6:
● Now, I used to turn off my phone when I was studying, because it helps me focus a lot.
 10/11/2563
● SOP
○ Today, I start to read the feedback that I got and revised it
● GOAL
○ Self-management: I decided to change the planner to be on my phone
instead of the computer. Usually, I created the planner in the google doc
and always edit it on the computer after I come back from school.
However, I noticed that sometimes it wasn’t that convenient and I was
lazy, also it is hard to memorize what happened during the day. The
solution to this problem is I used the “reminder’ application in my phone
as a planner, and I will take note of that homework and what I need to do
immediately after I think of it. Due to this solution, it is more convenient,
easier for me to memorize things and not missing anything because
sometimes note everything at the end of the day can cause you
mistakes.
○ Music Skill: Today is the first day I started to play the guitar again after I
haven’t played it for a while because of the exam, however, I started to
play the easy song first to revise the chords that I have forgotten.
11/11/2563
● GOAL
○ Self-management:
■ Due to the planner, I am able to know what I need to do today, and the
authority of the work that I need to do first, this helps turn in homework on
time. Moreover, after I found that when I work I should turn off my phone and
open the song with no lyrics; it dramatically increases my concentration.
Furthermore, usually, I fall asleep very easily when I read a long statement.
The way I resolve this problem is to stand up while working and drink lots of
water.
○ Music Skill:
■ I open the chord on the
internet(http://chordtabs.in.th/mobile/%E0%B8%84%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%A3

Colour-3153.html ), and try to remember how to press each chord, and
practice practicing it.
12/11/2563
● SOP
○ I edit the first draft after reading the feedback.

13/11/2563
● SOP
○ After I finished editing the first draft, I sent it to Ms.Fon and
let her give feedback one more time, then I will edit the
second draft before turning in the final draft.

A result from Week of November 9 - 13:

● The idea to change the planner to be on my phone is a very smart choice
because I was able to access it easily. This makes me able to record the
homework or what I need to do immediately after I got assigned. Focusing on
the SOP, after I read the feedback it does help me a lot and I know what to
focus on, what to change, and what to add to the paper. Next week, I plan to
start to look back to the first interview feedback then improve from it and be
ready to appoint the date for the second interview.
14/11/2563
● Goal
○ After I remember all the chords, I
decided to start with the solo part,
however, due to the song it is too
difficult for me to learn by my own, so I
use Youtube as the source to find the
guide for the solo part.

15/11/2563
● SOP
○ Revised on the 2nd draft after I got the
feedback from Ms.Fon and Boya
● Goal
○ Continue practice the intro part.
16/11/2563
● GOAL
○ After, I learned the solo part, I continue to learn the verse of the song and still continuing study the
chord
○ This song have many chords, so I draw the chords out and start practicing it so it might help me
memorize the chords more.
● Interview
○ Appoint the second interview with Ms.Sandy
19/11/2563
● Interview
○ Practicing for the 2nd interview tomorrow
○ I take a look at the comment and revised it
○ I looking at the mirror and interview with myself in
order to be more confident and not nervous.
Moreover, I able to practice eyes contacts.
○ Also I add more description in each questions.
● Goal
○ Self management
■ I still using the planner, and I like it a lot,
because it improve my sleeping time, and I
never miss any school homework.
Furthermore, I always sleep before 12.00
a.m. and it helps me get less tardy on the
first class of the school.
Result from Week of November 16 – 20:
● SOP
○ Everything is done for this part including all the drafts and feedbacks
○ The final scores I got is 6/6
● Interview
○ I should done the second interview this week but due to the accident both of me and the interviewer
have no chance to be free at the same time. So, I will do the second interview on Monday, November
23
○ I asked my friends who got full scored about how is they answer each questions and looking at their
interviewing video.
● Goal
○ For the self-management, everything seems to be stable the works and my time to sleep is enough for
me. Moreover, I will conclude this goal as a successful now, due to the SAT score, which I already
please with the score. Thank to the planner and this goal, I got to study for the university at the same
time my school graded does not drop.
○ Focusing on the music skill, now I able to play half of the song however I can’t sing and play at the
same time. Therefore, I need more practicing and maybe I should learn how to sing
23/11/2563
● I changed back to use weebly instead of wix for the E-port
● Interview
○ I finished the second interview and my score was 5.5/6 , the main mistake I made is about
pronunciation and I was speaking too fast and quiet. Overall, I think I do it better, because I become
more confident and I able to answer most of the questions with well descriptive respond. However,
there are some surprise question that I never practice before and it created a sudden death air, which I
think I could do better next time at the real interview with university.

● Goal
○ Self-Management
■ This week was a lot of works and activities as the second semester is almost over, I started to
get less sleep and become tired easily when I was come back home. The way I plan to result this
issued is less playing after school the day that there are no activities I need to do. Then, I come
back to the dorm immediately, then get some rest or go right in to work.
○ Music Skill
■ I able to play till the end of the song now, except the last solo part which I not able to finished by
the time of this project. Furthermore, after a lots of practice the song started to be boring for me,
so why near the end of the project the pace of practicing started to get slow.
