Write about a time you didn’t feel like yourself

 During Middle school, I was really unhappy with myself and my appearance. I wasn't bullied or made to feel bad, but deep down inside, I knew I wanted to be better but I didn't know how. I would unleash this anger and emotion on others as a way to release the emotion. I knew it wasn't me, but the temporary relief I would feel caused me to continue. One day, my mom finally called me out for my behavior and understood what I was going through, explaining it was a normal part of life and being a teenager. She helped me get through it and I soon began feeling better. Today, we continued our reading of The Color Purple by Alice Walker. We read chapters 46-50, although I had already read them prior. We learn about Shug's husband, Grady, and the friendships being him and Albert and Shug and Celie growing. We also learn that Celie and Shug's relationship starts to get closer, leading to them being intimate with one another. After this, Albert and Celie's relationship deteriorates as she learns that he has been hiding Nettie's letters from her. I liked these chapters as they are a turning point with two people very important to Celie. Afterwards, we answered questions about the chapters to show we read. Today, I feel good. We have a 3 day weekend and I'm going to use it to enjoy myself, and probably sleep more.

When you are in a mood that you do not like, what are some strategies that you use to change your mood?

 When I'm in a unfavorable mood, I try to do activities that I enjoy. For instance, when I am angry, I drum and hit as hard as I can as a way to relieve the tension building up. When I'm upset, I play video games or talk on the phone with friends to distract myself from whatever made me upset. When I'm stressed, I watch videos about interesting or niche topics. Today, we created a digital mood board on The Yellow Wallpaper. With the help of AI and using quotes from the text, we created moods boards that depicted the narrator's emotions at the 3 major stages of the story. This was a fun and easy way to end the week, finally allowing us to use AI to do work. Today, I feel tired. I slept late and had to wake up for my Calculus class at GSU. I got home late so I didn't get to have an adequate nap, so I want to catch up on the sleep I missed.

Which time do you perfer the most and why, Daylight Savings Time or Standard Time?

I prefer Daylight's Saving Time because it feels right. During Standard Time, the only benefit is that one hour of sleep you can get on the first day. After that, your body is thrown off for about a week, as when I wake up to this day, I don't know whether it's 4am or 9am. Also, it gets dark way too fast, meaning I can't be out past 6 to exercise or to drive around without limited view. Standard Time is stupid and I would prefer if we changed it to Daylight's Savings year-round. Today, we didn't go to school as it was an independent learning day. We had a NewsELA to do for our assignment in class. It was okay but I still don't like NewsELA. Today, I am happy. We had no school and today is the first soccer game the Winter Drumline will show up to.

As we think about Vocabulary Monday, tell me what is your favorite word RIGHT NOW? Why is it your favorite word and how often do you use it?

 My favorite word right now is alright. It's a simple word between okay and sure that is friendly in nature. You can use it to answer someone without just saying okay, as a way to let them know you heard everything they said. You can also use it to describe yourself, using it whenever you're having a calm day. Today, we learned Chapter 11 Vocabulary. We first filled in the blank in pre-made sentences to test if we understood the meaning. Then we wrote a short story using 3 of them to replace typical words. Afterwards, we associated words or phrases to them to help us remember. Finally, we used them in a sentence to show we could integrate them into our vocabulary and scenarios. Today, I feel okay. I have Jazz Band every Monday, but today I feel more ready for it than the past ones. I practiced and feel like I won't be sight-reading my part as much this time.
