Talk about a time when you felt like you were about to lose your mind. Answer in at least a paragraph.

It was PSAT/SAT Day sophomore year. I didn't even know we had to take it and I had come in sleep deprived. I was angry when I realized I was forced to take it, especially since I didn't even know what a PSAT was. I remember finishing the test and realizing it wasn't as hard as I thought. I was ready to go to class when testing was delayed. I was stuck in a hot trailer with no air conditions until 2pm, finally let out to eat lunch. I remember waiting and waiting, hoping the announcements would come on. I was hungry, tired, and angry. It took way too long for us to be let out, just for it to be a bag lunch because of how many students they had to feed. Today, we read a short story called the Yellow Wallpaper. It consist of a woman, presumed to be named Jane, slowing going insane in a rental mansion due to mental illness and the yellow paper, described to be so ugly and yellow that it was making her upset. It slowly worsened her condition until she finally went insane at the end. I liked this book because it shows how the smallest details are enough to make someone snap, especially if they have other factors going on. It also shows how important it is to listen to people dealing with mental illness/disorders, as they know what is happening to them better than anyone, even if they are a highly renowned physician. Today, I feel tired. I stayed up until 2am studying for my Calculus test. I set a small alarm to take a power nap and ended up oversleeping until 4am, giving me just one hour to cram in as much as I could. I bombed the test but luckily, the teacher drops the lowest test grade at the end, so I just have to study and get a good grade on the remaining 3 test.

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.
