Journal Topic- April 27 2020

Do you crack your knuckles? I started in the sixth grade. It's a weird habit. Why does anyone do this?

Yes, I do crack my knuckles. I feel like people do this as a form of stress relief. Some even do it as a distraction when in an awkward situation.

April 28 Journal Topic

If you were going to write a book about life during the Coronavirus Pandemic of 2020, what would you title? Why?

I would title it " Natural Selection at its Finest".

Some people are taking this situation seriously and some people aren't. People should be doing their research and not believe everything they see on the internet. I feel like the people who take this seriously and protect themselves and others will are the ones who come out of this pandemic strong.

Question?
What do you think is easier-- doing something well or teaching someone else to do it? Why?
I think its easier to do something well yourself. Teaching someone takes more patience and they might make mistakes. You can be a very good teacher but have a student who just doesn't put in the effort to do it well. You doing it creates room for fewer mistakes and more efficient.

AP PRACTICE PROMPT

My childhood revolved around this large empty room in my house. It belonged to my uncle before he moved. I was lucky enough to grow up with a sister and a cousin around my age to let our imaginations run wild in this room. We created the biggest messes there and to this day were some of the best memories I have of my childhood. 

The room was turned upside to be like a hotel. The room is the master bedroom in my home. It has a large walk-in closet, a his and her bathroom, and a large bed area. The bed area was to resemble a lobby. The actual bed was the second floor. The bathroom became the third floor and finally, the closet was the fourth floor. Me, sister, and my cousin would take turns playing different roles. We would alternate between hotel guests, receptionist or hotel staff. 

We took this very seriously. We used actual props. Our outfits would match the role we were playing. We would use real luggage sometimes. When the “ guest” called for room service we would actually prepare the food. Fake money was also created to make this more fun. The room’s being occupied on each floor were decorated somehow. That's really the only thing I can’t remember. I remember the role that we all fought over was the receptionist because it was the easiest one. Our imagination could’ve kept going, but at some point, we grew up and stopped.

Just because I got older doesn't mean I stopped being creative. My childhood imagination defiantly fueled my love for fashion and design when I got older. Now when projects are given to me, I definitely find myself going overboard. I also rearrange and change everything around me once I get bored. Sometimes I even annoy myself when I can’t make up my mind because I don’t like to settle for the basics.
