Writing Center

I went to the writing center a few weeks ago for help with my literary analysis. I found it very helpful and definitely will go back next semester. My writing fellow was Mrs. Spate and she really helped me revise my paper.

At first, I was really nervous because I was not 100% confident with my paper. When we began to edit, she made me read my paper out loud, which was pretty scary. When I finished, she said I had some really strong points. She basically said all I needed to do was take out a few sentences, and fix my quotes. When I left, I felt really good about my paper! I will definitely go back.

A day in the Life

I usually start my day at 6:30ish in the morning, woken up by my phone alarm clock. I lazily change into my uniform and go downstairs for breakfast. My breakfast is never anything special, maybe some scrambled eggs and toast or a biscuit. I then go back upstairs and brush my teeth and brush my hair. By now, it is about 7:05. I then pack my bag for soccer and wait for my little sister to get ready. I leave my house around 7:15 and get to school at 7:30.
When I get to school, I talk to friends, finish my homework, or study. I then head off to my classes. At 3:20, I hurry out of class to soccer practice. I always hope it is an easy day of just scrimmaging, but it really hasn't been for like two months. After soccer ends at 5:30, I go home and eat whatever we are having for dinner that night. I then take a shower and start my homework.
I usually start with my AP World homework, because I can get that done pretty quickly. I then move on to geometry and suffer my way through that. Then, I have to study for my Biology daily quiz. I then finish off my homework with reading LOTF. Depending on what time it is, I usually watch one or two episodes of Grey's Anatomy or some show like that. By midnight, I am so tired and I fall asleep!
