 Summary: Today I finally finished the test I started last Monday. All I had left were some questions about the Bill of Rights and finishing a story I was reading. For the story, I wrote a wonderful little tale about Goodman Brown sacrificing a goat to protect his family, and wrote a really cool hidden subtext at the end about his faith sowing doubt within him. Reflection: I guess I find creative writing fun. It took me until now to realize this because the first part of the process is definitely my least favorite. I much prefer the "writing as I think of things" phase to the "thinking of things to write about" phase.  Evaluation: This final is gonna be fine. But, are we ever going to finish "Fences"? Or are we just gonna do a test on the first act? If you read this today, try to remember to tell me tomorrow morning, please.

I was sick and absent until 4th period

 Summary: Today we did a really normal test. There was nothing to note about it, and I knew most of the questions shortly after reading them. There were also a few FRQs about the stories, and those weren’t groundbreaking either. Reflection: As planned, I never finished the FRQs, and I can’t remember when you said we would finish them (Friday, I think), but I’m not worried about it. Give me adderall and I can make up any story for a few more paragraphs. That, and the next story just being the Bill of Rights, which I have consistently studied in 2 of my classes for the last 2 months. Evaluation: I still think Benchmarks are dumb and superfluous😁 Even if I know the stuff on it. Like last time, it’s whatever

 Summary: Today we continued the play, but as kind of a combination of both yesterday and Tuesday. Some parts were read aloud, and others were silent. Other than that, we filled out a table on how words are used in the play with certain connotations to prove a point, as well as reading scene 3.  Reflection: We also got weekend homework :exclamation-point: That being said, I just did the whole thing (I think) in like 5 minutes. And so I will put that here also.  Evaluation: I can write my paragraph here >:) Because we have to do that! With the collage! The images here of the cities are Grand Rapids, MI, as well as Atlanta. Both of my parents are from these areas (dad and mom respectively), and every year we travel to Michigan and South Carolina (where my mom's family is now) during the summer. In addition, my mom's dad was in the Air Force several decades ago, so that explains the bottom right. Going further back, my grandma's family is from Sweden, which would explain ...
