August 16th

I was absent a lot on this second week of school. Thankfully, this Thursday on the 16th was a work day where I could make things up. I read "The Negro Speaks of Rivers" and did an analysis and questions about it that I had missed the day before. Mr. Rease kindly gave me another night to finish this because the class period wasn't enough time for me. Thanks Mr. Rease for being lenient! (especially for letting me do these posts late lol) This poem was very meaningful and got deeper and deeper as I related it to my own roots. I think having us do question 10 first about our own roots was smart because I would have preferred to apply it to myself primarily, which then enabled me to analyze it a lot deeper with questions 1-9 after.

Today we had a substitute teacher and I came in pretty late, but we were given an assignment about the Vietnam war to do in Commonlit, which I've still yet to start on.  I learned more rules about level three lockdowns because we had to do a drill during this class period. I liked this class, but I wish we didn't have to sit in the corner for so long for the lockdown. I would have got much more work done. Jesus is God! I love enjoying God.

 Today I came in a bit late and we were going over two poems, and then answered questions about them on canvas for the rest of class. I wish I came in earlier, because the first poem was called "The Lamb" and it was pretty Biblical; it was about the Lord Jesus but it was very hard to follow. I don't think God made me with a poetry-keen brain, which I am completely fine with. I had some great fellowship with Mr. Rease about the poems and in general about God's predestination and such.  This is the last assignment of the day that I need to get done and it's 3:09; school is about to end. I love doing my schoolwork here because I can go home and enjoy the Lord without Him reminding me to take care of my human responsibilities, because I already have! The Lord has really been getting me through this day; I got 7-ish hours of sleep and I can't wait to take a power nap when I get home. Thank You Lord Jesus, for Your so easily-accessible presence, a simple two words a...

Today we started working on a presentation about a character of The Sorrow of War , I chose to do it about Kien; about what 10 things I would find in his trash can. While reading today, I learned more about what Kien's relationship with his parents was like as well as he and Phuong's relationship right before Kien went off to war. What Phuong said about Kien's dad impacted me, I did not expect her to say that.  I liked this class period. I got a good amount of work done and I have been slowly progressing in my google slides since we ended class. It's surprisingly hard to come up with more than 7 things I would find in Kien's trash can. Today, I am feeling good. I went to sleep earlier last night at about 10:30 (still not early enough) so waking up at 6 was not hard. My goal is to be in bed by the latest 9:30 every day. I was pretty productive today so I feel fulfilled in that sense. Still, nothing makes me feel any more fulfilled than being filled with the triune Go...
