Putting Forth the Effort

Nothing really happened much, seeing that I'm stuck in the house. I am very proud of myself for turning in my senior project on time. I love how it cane out. I also found out the out exam will be a prose essay, so I've been looking through the workbook on that. With the test being online and 45 minutes long, I'm trying to prepare myself for the pressure that I'll be put under. Of course if I prepare now, I won't have that problem. Let's just pray everything goes right.

The Class of Quarantine

   This week I found out that all the schools in my county are shut down! Honestly, I knew this was going to happen because my friends in Georgia said that their school shut down. I am not that upset about it, I'm just grateful that we still are still graduating on time. We also found out that our AP test are going to be online as well. Of course, there's a good and bad side to this. On another note, I began to look through the book for poetry based free response questions. I did this due to the fact that this is most likely what the test will be on. I also went through the multiple choice quiz on AP Classroom. It was fairly easy since it was more poetry based, but I started to to lose focus towards the middle of the quiz. So that's something I need to work on. Overall, this week was great. Well, besides having to stay in the house.😂😂

Quarantine Blues: Chilling with AP

While everything being canceled that the Class of 2020 was looking forward to, there is to work that needs to be done. I am honestly not upset about the fact that things are getting postponed/canceled because I am at peace, in a way. To prepare myself for the AP Exam, the one thing that is not getting canceled, I decided to take the first quiz on AP Classroom with no preparations. It may sound stupid, but it gives me a better chance to really scope out my weaknesses. One of them being second guessing myself. This is nothing new to me because test anxiety is real. The three biggest ones were: vocabulary, taking a complex question and breaking it down, and paying attention to word choices when choosing an answer. All of these have some type of strategy I can use, that have been mentioned by my teacher at least once. Hopefully, this workbook that I have recieved will be beneficial.

EQT Essay

Today was a struggle. I spent all night trying to plan my essay for the 3rd quarter final. I decided to go to Mr. Rease for extra help during his free block because I was about to have a full blown panic attack. I really appreciated the fact that he took his time out help because he could have just brushed me to side to finish what he had to do. I feel pretty good about my essay, but I really need to the critisim to improve.

Fustration=Motivation

    Today we did speed dating with a prompt. Even though I took AP Lang last year, I still struggle with the pressure of interpreting the prompt and planing the essay. I think throughout the process I beat myself up a lot. That adds more stress on me. A part of me did not feel as bad because I was not the only one who did not understand. I did not feel alone. Later on in the class, we asked questions about the whole process. Now, I am going to just practice the tips Mr. Rease gave and go from there!
