We are in the final stretch before summer and testing, and I’m so excited but nervous. In American Lit we have been preparing for our EOCs with light practice everyday. Today was block day and I finished my assignment early so I had time to work on some make-up assignments. The majority of my day was boring, but I have been keeping up with some of my favorite topics. For example, auburn football and their media team posts a lot and I throughly enjoy it. I also started an online training I have to complete for the summer, I’m a head lifeguard so it comes with extra courses/responsibilities. It was a good day.

  I took spring break as a relaxing re-set for myself so I could be prepared for the end of the year. The break started off with Easter, although my only family in town was my dad. We met with family friends and ate a nice Easter dinner. The next part of the break consisted of my best friend, my dad, and I going to the beach for two nights. The beach was very nice even though it was crowded, but there were a lot of highlights. Some of these highlights were that I did some shopping and I saw some friends I haven’t seen since middle school. I spent the final half of the break relaxing and doing self care. The break went really well for me, I’m sad to be back but I’m ready to get back to work. I am also very excited for summer!

 Today was the Monday before spring break starts, and I am so excited. Today, we started to read a piece of text then we had to answer questions per paragraph- to follow along and stay attentive while reading. I did not finish in class, but I read the rest of the story at home so I could be prepared for Tuesday’s lesson. On Tuesday, we will be having shortened classes with an assembly at the end of the day. I also hope to be very productive tomorrow as well. I also started a new book today, one I am very much enjoying. Today was a good day.

 American Literature today consisted of taking a pop quiz on what we have been learning the past few days/last week. I was a little concerned, but I ended making a 95 on the quiz. I am proud and thankful for my score. I am also very excited for the weekend because I am going camping, though that means I won’t have too much free time. Either way, I’m very excited that it’s Friday.

 Recently in American Lit, we have been working on claims and analyzing claims. I’ve worked on claims a lot when I was little, so it’s pretty easy for me. I enjoy creating my own claims, rather than finding claims from a passage. I like this because I like putting my own ideas and opinions into words when I get the chance. That goes for most writing, I love to read but I also love to write.
