a.) I am happy with my progress with my project because I am on track to have everything completed before the due date. b.) As I have been progressing with the first three goals of my project I do not want to change anything about my process in order to complete my stated project because I am on track for everything and I feel very good about my project. c.) I have changed my habits of procrastinating once I get home from when I worked on my paper to practicing the habits of getting things done as soon as possible which have helped me progress with my project since I can demonstrate that I have completed getting in touch with a representative of the American Red Cross and holding a meeting already. 4/16/10
