Default Reflections Post 1 :: Flying Long-Term Assignment
Arts TRANSPONSTER!

Anna was torn. She couldn't decide whether she was having a good time doing this assignment or not. Part of her was happy that she got to do an assignment on what she loved - all things fitness - but the other part was still wanting to whine because it WAS an assignment nonetheless, and she wasn't a fan of those.

That was the reason why she looked indecisive as she carried the notebook with her to the Great Hall to write the last bit of it while having breakfast right before the lesson when the assignment was due. Last minute pressure was the best type of pressure, y'know. That was how she rolled.

Plopping down at the Gryffindor table, she filled her plate with eggs and beans on toast and her goblet with orange juice. Taking the first bite, she opened the notebook next to her plate and started writing, not exactly being careful not to spill anything on it.

Reflections:

Planning my workout sessions for the next five months was useful because I had something to follow and keep track of my progress. I found that it was helpful as I can now see how far I have come on each of the modalities of sports I have been training for.

I have improved my running time and know that as I decided it would be interesting to write down my time at the start of the plan and compare it at the end of it. I have shaved off 3 minutes of my 5K PB and that is brilliant, especially as it was already pretty good when I started the plan.

My flying also improved drastically, and I like to think that it is now even better than my running. I'm hoping I will definitely get first place in the broom races this summer.

I have realised I don't exactly need or want to focus much on martial arts. Although I find it interesting and am happy to keep training, I would rather focus on running, flying and Quidditch. For this reason, I did not follow through with the training schedule I created for martial arts 5 months ago, but I kept the training at 10-15 minutes and usually did it before I went for a run.

Unfortunately we didn't win the Quidditch Cup, but I suppose that is not all dependent on my performance as it is all group work. No, I am not blaming anyone for our loss, but I am finding it hard to measure improvement as we lost the Cup.

To conclude, I suppose it is useful to have a schedule and a plan at the start of the year and I have realised it is okay to not stick to that plan, but it can be very helpful to follow through with it as well. I might try and do a year long planning for next year, but I'm not sure whether I will yet.


As she finished writing, the Gryffindor closed the notebook carelessly and put it away alongside her quill. She swallowed her last bit of toast and drank the remaining orange juice from her goblet as she got up and swung her bag over her shoulder. Lesson time!
