Last year I would wake up very early in the morning and would always play the same song in the shower. I have duel enrollment now so I don't wake up as early but when ever I hear the song I remember last year. We had a makeup day today to finish any work we had missing and to continue working on our projects. This week went by very fast and I am happy that there is only one more week left. 

 A moment of unexpected kindness I had was when a friend had tickets to a basketball game that they weren't going to be able to go to, so they gave them to me and my family for free. Today we worked more on the project, and I made a little more progress. I am feeling good about this week because it is going fast and ready for winter break.

A time that I could not stop laughing was when I watched a comedy special on Netflix. Today we continued working on the project and I made some progress on it. I feel good about today and this whole week. I am slightly nervouse for finals next week but will be happy when its over.

 A fear that I have overcome is the fear of public speaking and generally talking to strangers. Today in class we started a new project on the story "A Lesson Before Dying". The project is an analysis of a certain topic in the story. Our tables topic is "jeffersons trial and dehumanization. I felt good about todays class and am glad the the semester is almost over

 An unforgettable meal for me was when I first tried gyro meat. I was kind of young and didn't like the way it looked or smelled so I didn't want to try it. My parents encouraged me to try it and I liked it a lot, which taught me to always try new foods. We read chapter 6 in class today, and worked in a group to answers discussion questions about the story so far. I was fine with todays assignment and I am glad the week is over and ready for the weekend.

 Something that I can't stop thinking about is my grades. The semester is almost done and I just want to make sure that I finish with the grades I want. Today in class we read chapters 2 and 3 of "A lesson before dying" and answered discussion questions about both chapters. I was fine with this assignment, and I am happy that we are half way through the week.

A time that I am judged unfairly is when people find out that I have dyslexia, they automatically assume that I was bad at all school, but it really was just reading, and even with reading it's not that bad. Today in class we started a new story called "A Lesson Before Dying" that we will work on for the rest of the semester. We read the first chapter and answered some discussion questions about the story. I am feeling neutral about this week, I am fine with the work but ready for the week to be over.

 A conversation that changed me was one with my parents about my career for the future. They made me believe that I could do any job I wanted and encouraged me to try hard in school to keep as many opportunities open as possible. Today in class we worked on the lesson 7 vocabulary words. I am feeling fine about this week so far.
