 ### Refactor Previous Work
 You've learned A LOT over the last few weeks as it relates to technical content - chances are, you probably have some code from your previous exercises that is either sloppy, incorrect, poorly named, etc. Before starting Mod 1, we want you to `refactor` your code - which is the process of adjusting or improving your code for readability and accuracy.

 ### Time Management Prep
 In Mod 0 you've learned about different techniques for managing your time at Turing. Please create a calendar for your **first 3 weeks of Mod 1**. Feel free to make your calendar fit your style, but we suggest that your calendar should include the following:
-- [ ] Standard M1 class schedule (see M1 calendar [here](https://backend.turing.io/module1/)
-- [ ] Study/Project work time

 # What parts were most difficult about this exerise?
 
+# The part I struggled with most was the assess_situation function. And that was mostly
+# due to me not reading the directions close enough. I had created the function
+# a certain way but then looking at the test cases, my function would not work. Re-reading
+# the directions told me what I should do.
+
 # What parts felt most comfortable to you?
 
+# I felt most comfortable with the different types of variables. Maybe because we
+# use variables in most other things so it has become fundamental to me.
+
 # What skills do you need to continue to practice before starting Mod 1?
 
+# I still need to work on objects and classes. I feel a little better about them 
+# but I could still use more practice.
