Xzariah’s AP Blog

Hey blog. Today was my first absence of the year. I stayed home and slept all day. Shout out to Natalya who sent me all of my notes and work. She is the best. I really hate missing days of school but it is what is. I will be back tomorrow and my reflections are probably going to look different because Mr. Rease says that my previous posts weren’t “reflections”. I will consult with him tomorrow for a better understanding and then I can adjust from there. That’s all for today folks. Later.

 Today I learned about rhetorical situations. I learned the different components and how to identify and describe then when given a prompt. I can utilize this information to help me better understand texts and speeches. On a totally different note, today was not all that great overall. On a scale from 1 - 10, I rate today’s class a 5.

 Today’s class was very chill. The other 2/4 groups presented today and I just had to be quiet and pay attention. I enjoyed their presentations. We got our chrome books today and I’m not excited. This just means that teachers are going to be assigning way more work than normal. I quit the volleyball team today as well. It’s a bittersweet moment but I’m going to stay optimistic. On a scale of 1 - 10, I rate today’s class a 9.5.  (P.S. If you’re wondering will I ever rate this class a 10/10… well good luck Charlie.)

 In today’s class 2/4 groups presented, including mine. We did pretty well but it just wasn’t for me cause I get annoyed easily. Honestly I’m not too fond of group assignments because people are unreliable. We learned that Mr. Rease was in a rock band post high school. Today was pretty chill and I can’t complain too much. On a scale from 1 - 10, I rate today’s class a 9.

 In today’s class we were assigned groups. We were then giving poems and jobs to do in our groups. I actually liked this activity. I liked that Mr. Rease used a random generator so it wasn’t biased at all. He even let us talk the whole class period (more or less). Tomorrow we will present so hopefully that goes well. On a scale from 1 - 10, I rate today’s class a 8.5.

 My dream is to become a psychiatrist. I also want to travel the world. I will achieve this by going to college and saving money along the way. I will work hard and stay focused. I can avoid deferring my dream by budgeting my money wisely. I can also maintain good grades in school. I will prioritize my dreams as much as I can. Today’s class was a 6/10.
