   As Brandon went frolicking around the courtyard, he noticed an absurd object on the ground near the benches. He studied the object carefully to find that it was an injured baby bird. He carried this look of mortification as he walked around the campus because he was frightened about how the other students would ridicule jeer at him. In this event he blunders on trying to find someone who could help. He thought maybe he could take it to a animal hospital since it is an allied workplace. Also for the fact the doctors there are honored stalwarts. One of the doctors Brandon met was very inciting on letting him know that the baby bird was okay and that it was common for birds to get in accidents such as this one. The environment was not incongruous or uncomfortable. In the end the bird ended up recovering within three days and Brandon walked away relieved.

Tired of Seeing C's

Today in class, we finished reading The Wife Bath's Tale. I found it intriguing because I knew in the end what would happen, but I found that there was a deeper meaning to what actually happened. I figured that the old woman would become beautiful in some way, but not through domimance. I admired this short story because of how well written it was and how shined a light on women having power of men. How it is not that bad. Afterwards, we took a short quiz on the story. I was very upset with the grade on it, I feel that I work hard to achieve what I want. For some reason, my multiple choice grades are not improving. I believe it I'd because when it comes to test, I have really bad anxiety. I second guess myself a lot. I am going to put more effort into my testing skills and hopefully improve. My goal is to make an A in the class for the whole semester.

From Effort to Improvement

Today in class we took a prose multiple choice quiz taken from a previous AP Literature test. When I first began to read, I figured it be a easy read. The only thing was that the vocabulary made the read difficult. After the quiz was over, I felt pretty confident. Honestly, I wasn't upset because I felt more comfortable while taking the test. I put effort towards improving on multiple choice questions by watching strategy videos as well as being more confident when taking the test. I'm so happy that I'm seeing an improvement.

Improvement=Inspiration

Today was a productive day! We went and checked our books from the library for our senior project as well as practice multiple choice. Even though I did make a C on the quiz, I was still happy with the fact that I see improvement. Not so much with the grade, but how smoothly the test went. It seemed easier as I navigated through the test. I was not so tensed and afraid of putting the wrong answer. I am more confident in my testing skills! It can only get better from here!
