 Today, we read through "The Yellow Wallpaper" again and wrote down what confused us as well as six questions about the text and their answers.

I learned more about the text by jumping around and coming up with questions about it. Because we had to give the answer too, I had to look deeper into the text to find things that could be good questions, of which the answers are easily found in the text. I was impacted by how many details I got from doing this that I hadn't picked up by just reading the text through. With this knowledge, I plan to do better on an assessment about this text.

What I liked about the lesson, more so this reading over the last couple of days, was that it doesn't feel like we're rushing this story or trying to get through it too fast. I also feel like the questions we created are going to be in the assessment, or at least the ones that Mr. Rease deems as usable. There wasn't much to dislike about the lesson. Mr. Rease let me turn my questions and answers in by the end of the day, which I have done by now and I am thankful for this.

Today I am feeling good. I have a dive meet at Chamblee High School and I am excited for it. My friend said we actually have a chance to beat the opposing school this time, because their seniors (on the team) dropped out or something along those lines. It's kind of funny to me that he said "we actually have a chance to beat them." Our team is not that good. It is probably because the diving board here is trash.

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...
