 Today we read a poem about a firetruck and answered questions about it. It was a nice break from all the computer work (there was no internet to continue the work from yesterday). I didn't struggle with analyzing the poem or questions, so it was a good assignment, plus we got to draw. I feel good, but I am hungry because I missed breakfast. 

 Today we made a college profile. We had to choose a college / university and figure out the tuition, where it was, number of undergraduate etc. I choose a career similar to what I want to do as my future career, so it very educational. This assignment gave me ideas for what schools I should think about applying to, one more year for me to decide. I'm kind of tired because of the weekend I had, but I feel fine.

 Today we read the poem The Red Wheelbarrow and analyzed it. We also asked unanswered questions and wrote them down. I’m feeling okay because it’s Friday but a little nervous because of the test next week.

 We did a story on common lit, answered questions that went along with the story, after that I did an assessment on it. Apparently, this is supposed to be a practice to the EOC.

 During our spring break I didn't go anywhere outside of Atlanta. My family had to work, and I can't drive yet so our options were limited. Most of the week I alternated between staying home taking care of my sisters and working with my dad, which was tiring. When I was at home, me and my siblings would clean most of the day then play or bake. Majority of the week we would be outside playing baseball, volleyball, soccer, and with the dogs. In the weekend we threw my aunt a surprise party and there was a lot of food, but it was freezing so we spent most of the time inside. I saw the eclipse, but it wasn't as good as the one we had a few years ago.
