 Today I got to our class just 10 minutes before it ended. (sorry Mr. Rease that I'm always late...) I was told to log onto Illuminate Online and I started taking a short-story/autobiography analysis quiz. I would have finished it in my 2nd period but I ended up being too busy in that class. I started up again in 3rd period, but I got locked out of the quiz. After getting the code from Mr. Rease, I can finally do it but my classes today are very busy and I'm going camping so I'm getting checked out at the beginning of 5th period. I'm more intent on doing this blog post than finishing the Illuminate quiz, because I feel like its more time sensitive and urgent at this point.

From this story that we were quizzed on, I got a refreshed perspective of just how interesting books can be to some people. What impacted me about the story is that it showed me how a person's love for books can lead to them becoming authors of their own books later in their lives. I think that's an interesting cycle.

I didn't really experience the lesson in full because I came in when everyone was working on the Illuminate quiz. I am struggling with (outside of the class) keeping up with each bell, being barely able to work right before each one.

Today, I am feeling very stressed but also very excited. I am about to drive two and a half hours to a campsite. I regret even coming to 1st period for the last ten minutes. I definitely should have made these things up on Monday, rather than today while I'm not racing the clock to leave for the campsite. I don't think I can get that quiz done until Sunday, but at least I have the code for Illuminate so I can take it later. I am happy I have somewhat overcome this stressful yet very productive day using my touch-typing capabilities. Have a good weekend!

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 we started on a presentation about "A Devoted Son." We got a lot of work done in the long class. I had to battle my OCD because the fonts were all over the place from the theme that I set, and many other formatting things were inconsistent in the presentation while/after we worked on it. I have a problem with taking over too much in group projects because my OCD so strongly wants everything to be my orderly way. I think that I've somewhat overcome this. I kept the weird non-theme-fitting font, but I had to at least make every slide's font the same. I hope we get a good grade on this assignment! O Lord Jesus, how I need You today. Lord, don't let me forget about Your sweet name and Your life-giving Spirit that I can breathe in simply by calling out to You.

 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...
