Last November I have made myself some smart target goals.
I haven't been able to accomplish these goals but it helped me understand where my weak points were and what I had to do to change this. It was a struggle to remix my old song that because I ended up on the decision that it was already a good enough song and working on it further would just ruin it.
Instead of producing the 3 tracks, I've made 5 ideas for Olly's assignment meaning that I had created a bunch of ideas instead of tracks so that I have material to work with if I ever want to recreate a similar idea or use it as influence. I've also made my other ideas in my own time giving me a fair amount of things to work with.

My new targets for this term should keep me on track of my assignments because I've been struggling to keep up with the deadlines recently and it makes future assignments harder to do since I have to keep finishing older ones which becomes a burden on me.
1) I need to work outside of class more so my goal is to book more access time through out the month and record how much extra time I spend
2) I need to keep my assignments on the deadline so I think I should aim to make sure that I don't let any assignments slip past the due date next month.
3) I want to work more with other people for example Juan because we have similar music styles so my goal is to make one or two songs in collaboration with another student by the end of next month.
