blog 1.5

Time sure does fly. I can't believe the first quarter is already about to end, looking back on my practice blog I feel as if nothing has really changed, it still feels like the school has just started. My perception of the building itself though has changed. At first, I felt like I was never really gonna learn the layout of the school since it seemed so complicated at first but later on I've gradually gotten used to it and now it doesn't seem as complex as I originally thought. The book I picked in September was "misery" by Stephen King and so far its pretty good, I'm almost halfway through the book. I really like how it feels like your in the protagonist's head a lot of the book is just the thoughts and crazy ideas he has. the story so far is that Paul Sheldon who is the protagonist wakes up in a stranger's home after a car crash. Paul at first tries to move only to find out his legs are completely busted and that he won't be moving for a long time, eventually, he discovers that his number one fan is taking care of him. At first, things don't seem too bad but then he sees that his number one fan is actually crazy and won't let him leave until he writes her a new book(Paul Sheldon is a famous author in the story).

My favorite post that I've made so far has to be the one about ambition. I felt like I was easily able to get my point across and describe what the positives and negatives of ambition are. If I were to critique it though I would want to cut it down on the repetition, It feels like I repeat myself too much.
Now the post I see the room for most improvement is the one about Henrietta Lacks, I didn't exactly know what to say because the story of Henrietta was always boring to me, I never found it that interesting and the book was a chore for me to read. To me, that blog was just all over the place and probably didn't make much sense. In order to make my online presence more memorable, I think that my blogs would have to talk about more interesting topics as well as have more intriguing images to capture peoples attention. I haven't really encountered any problems with these assignments so far, it just feels like I'm still writing a normal paper for homework every week.

My academic goal for the second quarter is to get a 95 average in English, I will try to pay more attention as I keep constantly wandering off into my own mind and begin to daydream a lot. I also need to stop procrastinating and sleep earlier as I am usually very tired at the beginning of the school day. I hope that I do better this next quarter but I myself will have to put in the work and not rely solely on hope to get me those grades I want.
