A Moment in Song

   Today in class, we were asked to make a list of 10 songs that held a moment of my life. One of the songs I chose the song was Funny by Tori Kelly. A couple of years ago, I went through a very tough time with moving to a new state and feeling isolated. This song helped me get clarity on life, it made me not feel so alone. It was as if, like Mr. Rease said, the song chose me. If you listen to the whole album, it kind of takes you through the stages of young adulthood and realization. I felt like making the list would take much longer and I still fell like my list still needs a little more thought. We also read a poem Cruising with the Beach Boys. It was about a man on a buisness trip who heard a song, and it brought back lovesick memories from he teenage years. This made me wonder about a song that would remind me of a time where I had a crush or even a relationship. It amazed me at how music or any other sentimental thing could bring back so many vivid memories.

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.

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.
