Cycle #1

I felt nervous as usual because of course it is the first day of class and I don't know what to do or who to talk to since I do not know anyone of my classmates.

In Day 2 & 3 cycle 1, I'm a little less nervous since one of my classmate sat beside me and talk to me so I thought that I have a friend now. Little by little, I got to know my classmate and I'm super happy because we shared the things that we like.

In Day 4, 5, & 6 cycle 1, first cycle of our online class or asynchronous class is alright but we have done a lot of activities. I have completed all of the activities the my teacher handed out.

Cycle #2

Just like in the first cycle, I'm still nervous, but because of my seatmate Joever, I can get comfy in the classroom because he does not leave me. He always shares his things, and every time that I ask him about our assignments, he will always answer my question.

Also, I went to the library with my classmate last school year, and I did my homework and then tutored my friend in the subject of general mathematics because he was having a hard time understanding the lesson.

In our online class (day 5), I had missed our General Mathematics online class because I was very tired last night because I had a practice on Sunday from 1-10pm, so I was very tired the other day, so I just slept the whole day.

On our day 6 of cycle 2, when I woke up, I was a bit sad to see that my Google Classroom had a pending activity, but I completed the half in the afternoon.

Cycle #3

I took the MBTI test, and my MBTI is INFP, or Introvert, Intuitive, Feeling, and Perceiving, and it reflects me because all of the traits of an INFP suit me perfectly. INFP is often referred to as "The Mediator" or "The Idealist."

If we know and understand our own personality type, or MBTI, it can help us to have an advantage in many ways. We'll know what kind of personality or people we want to be friends with or to be with. We can also enhance our decision-making for our goals in the future because we know what our strengths and weaknesses are.

I know from myself that all of these personalities that are in INFP are what I have. It includes the idealistic, which is a desire to make the world a better place; the creative, who often express themselves through writing, arts, or music; the empathetic, who are deeply sensitive to the feelings and needs of others; the loyal, who are dedicated to their loved ones; and the authentic, who strive to live in accordance with their core values.

Cycle #4

After, I think if I remember right, 9 days? We finally have a face-to-face class again. The suspension is caused by the typhoon that hit our country.

It was mixed emotions. It was happy and sad—happy because we don't need to wake up early just to go to school and sad because, first of all, I cannot see my classmates; second, I know that after all of these, we will have a lot of activities to do; and lastly, I don't have money.

This cycle is probably the most challenging week or cycle for me because the activities, quizzes, and performance tasks are all given at the same time.
