New Semester Reflection

The fall semester was my first semester of high school which meant a lot to get used to. The three things I learned during the fall semester was to stop procrastinating, get more sleep, and use my tutorials and breaks for studying or doing homework. I procrastinate a lot and so I find myself cramming to complete assignments, papers, etc. on the due date. Procrastination can lead to late nights which leads to less and less sleep. I think the cause of all this procrastination and lack of sleep is being on my phone or computer. I learned to shut it off and sit down and study or do homework. From me turning off my phone and being more focused, I complete assignments faster and get more time to sleep.

The third thing I learned from this past semester, is to utilize my tutorial and break times. I play sports every day after school; cheer, soccer, or sometimes both. Having extracurriculars and sports causes me to not have much time at home to do my schoolwork. Tutorial and break times are great times to get lots of work done but being around my friends distracts me. I've learned to go somewhere, like the library or foster hall, and sit down and focus on school work. Thinking about how much work I have, and how I do not have a lot of time after school, motivates me to do this. Finally, goals for my spring semester would be to use my tutorial and break times and knowing when to turn off my phone or other distractions so I can focus.

    I agree with you when you said that you needed to use your tutorials and breaks for work. I used to hang out with friends during that time but I realized that it could be really useful.

LOTF Response

Ralph chose the firm strip as a path because he needed to think, and only here could he allow his feet to move without having to watch them.  Suddenly, pacing by the water, he was overcome with astonishment.  He found himself understanding the weariness of this life, where every path was an improvisation and a considerable part of one's waking life was spent watching one's feet.  He stopped, facing the strip, and remembering that first enthusiastic exploration as though it were part of a brighter childhood, he smiled jeeringly. [...] This wind pressed his grey shirt against his chest so that he noticed--in this new mood of comprehension--how the folds were stiff like cardboard, and unpleasant; noticed too how the frayed edges of his shorts were making an uncomfortable, pink area on the front of his thighs.  With a convulsion of the mind, Ralph discovered dirt and decay, understood how much he disliked perpetually flicking the tangled hair out of his eyes, and at las...

How has traveling affected you?

Traveling is something that almost everyone experiences. Wether traveling to another city, state, or even continent, you can experience or learn something new from it. I have been lucky enough to travel pretty often with my family or even alone. My family loves to travel and could do it all the time if possible. Unfortunately, my sister and I typically have a lot of commitments to sports, etc. that prevent us from traveling too often. However, we almost always travel over breaks such as Mardi Gras break, Christmas break, and Thanksgiving break. Up until last year, I had always traveled with my family or friends and had only been around the states. This changed last summer when I decided to travel to Maui, Hawaii alone! Now you're probably thinking how did I travel alone, and I wasn't completely alone. I traveled to Hawaii for a camp with boys and girls around my age from around the world. Going into this I was extremely excited to get to experience a new state I had dreamed a...

My Blog

Hey! I'm Landry and this is my blog. Through writing this blog, I hope to gain more strength in my writing and the ability to write faster. I think can achieve this based on how much time I focus on my blog and how many entires I write. I hope to be able to write the required amount and for that to be easy for me. I appreciate being able to write these blogs. I like writing these blogs much better than having more big essays. These blogs essentially replace two or so large papers. For me, it is much easier to write these short blog posts about different topics than writing large essays about one. Finally, I like how I have access to other classmates' blogs to see what they have written about and even give them compliments on their writing.
