Final Reflection For American Literature 2019-2020

This school year was different... 1. This course that, thinking back at the time, was very glad to be put in, and still am, is one of kind because of our first impression of him. Of course, we thought the class would go on like any other, yet he introduced himself in a way that would gain our trust at least half way if not immediately. Two ways of learning were presented, learning through the normal way or a way we have not seen before. Therefore, we chose the odd one. It was interesting to see what came out of that way of learning. Out of all my teachers, this class surely brought out the best in me even if I did not realise it. 2.  Looking back through the times we spent, as expected, our first impression of him was the most meaningful one. He did not only ruin our expectations of him, but he said in a way that was relieved us. Ahh, but the other meaningful time would surely also be the writing conferences! They were very intriguing, and it made me think of all sorts of quest...

Journal May 1

May 1, 2020 Today has been spent with my lack of sleep due to a pretty old show I just recently picked up interest in and working on church activities we have on certain Fridays lately. This church activity was ‘t focused mainly or religious topics, but they were activities to help us pick up hobbies that we may find interesting. Such hobby activities were learning how to draw/paint, how to cook, how to play an instrument, etc. Other activities were watching films or music videos our organisation created, also, of course, short bible studies in between of a series of other activities. These were all done online and each activity had a schedule. Very funnnn Besides that, I’ve been thinking about how I should wisely spend this last full month of the school year that would keep me productive, happy, and healthy.

Journal ( April 13 - 30 )

April 13, 2020 At first, it was a big struggle to adjust into being stuck at home although we usually wish to be able to stay at home. However, this was a struggle because the news slowly hit. My best friends and I were planning to have big fun for the last three days that we had left before the lockdown, but it was cancelled. That fun getting ruined kind of hit us pretty hard because we treated the news as if we were never seeing each other ever again, and basically that’s what happened. As you and probably many know, I started wearing a masks on a daily basis about 2 weeks or more before the lockdown. At the start, the reason for that was “the air”, my parents said. I always had the case of having bad lungs or weak immune system, but not too bad where I needed to have an inhaler with me everywhere. I’ve always been wearing masks when I would live and visit Asia because it is very polluted there. They probably noticed that it’s been smelling like something is being cooked those days...
