Write about a time when you did something out of the norm. What was it and how did others react.

 So I am a very talkative person. I usually don't stop talking. So one day I decided to talk the least amount I could. At first, everything was normal, but then people realized it wasn't just tired. People asked if I was okay, and I just said Yeah, I'm not talking much today. They all just said okay and moved on. But it gave me a sense of comfort knowing that they cared like that for me. Today in class, we worked on our hearts. I had to color mine in with color because I didn't have any at home. Today I learned how to take a tire off with a machine. 

Dickinson uses the metaphor of a funeral to describe her inner struggles. What metaphor would you use to describe your own mind?

 Personally, I feel like a metaphor I would use for my mind is a busy New York train station. I think this because I feel like I'm always busy thinking. I also think I hear so many different ideas in my head, kinda like how you hear so many voices at a train station. I think constantly I think. For example, if it's a test, instead of thinking of the right answer, I think of all the ones that could be wrong. In some cases, this tends to be helpful, but it makes the test feel a lot longer. Also, it makes me confuse myself because sometimes a question has multiple right answers. It would then make me have to compare and restart the whole process. Today in class, we read some of Dickinson's poetry. We analyzed it as a class and broke it down so we could understand how she was writing better. Today I learned how to do an oil change.

Write about an adventure you would like to go on.

 I would love to go to Tomorrowland. It's an electric music festival with lots of attractions. I have seen numerous videos about it and have also discussed it with some of my friends. They would love to go with me. I love house music, and going there for the experience would be magical. To make this even better, the festival is usually in Europe, but I was already ready to buy the tickets with friends. Yet I have just received news that it is coming back to the United States. In May, it will make an appearance in California, and I have already communicated with some friends about going. Today in class, we broke down a poem together. I also started saying ribbit more, and since class, I haven't stopped. Today I learned that a dash is like a super comma, and you should give a big stop when you see one while reading.

Describe something you will never fully understand.

 I will never fully understand quantum mechanics. Like litterly I can't understand it. It is so complicated that even the smartest minds in the world right now cant fully understand it. I have tried to watch YouTube videos about It and still cant undertsand it. Even in most movies they talk about how they will never full comprehend all of the different rules. I hope one day I can learn because I feel like it will evolve mankind so much more.  Today in class the students presented. We all sat quietly and paid attention.  I learned today how to long divide fractions.

Write about something that you wish you had more of

 I wish I had more money. When I was younger, I used to be able to survive months with $100. Now, being a junior, that disappears in less than a couple of weeks. I know the older I get, the more and more I will need to spend. Therefore fore I will always wish for more money. I feel like if I had unlimited money, I could really do some good for the world and myself. I could also help people in need because I wouldn't need all the money.  Today in class, we submitted our origin myths. We also watched the lakeside daily news. Today I learned how to solve an absolute value equation with long division.

What is the most creative thing you have ever made? Share what it was and explain why it stands out as your best work.

 I once created a really fun stick. It was the perfect height and just pointy enough so you could see where the front was. I sanded it down so no splinters would come out. I even painted it and showed it too all my friends, but they were not as impressed as me. My parents loved it though as well did my siblings. I used to fight over that stick because they were so jealous. The fighting made my parents mad and so my dad took the stick and turned it into a mop by screwing on a head to it. I have never been more sad in my life. I worked on my origin myth today in class for the majority. I also talked with friends about how thier day was. I learned today how to do a velocity equation in physics.
