 Today, we were assigned a one-pager on a topic of our choosing from pages 63-85 in The Sorrow of War, and took notes on these pages as we read to help us when we're creating the one-pager on Monday.

I learned a bit about Kien's personal past experience and saw more in the general ways that he views things. When reading this book, I sometimes have a hard time being sure of what I'm reading, if it's a flashback or the present moment.

I liked this lesson because the directions are very specific in regard to what we are going to be graded on, so I should be able to get a good grade as long as I follow the rubric and don't leave anything out.

Today, I am feeling great. I could have been more productive so far school-wise, but besides that I've been coming to the Lord and reading the word, where He's brought me some light in different matters. I've also added more verses to my "verses to memorize" notes page on my phone. I'm so glad that I have a spirit that I can use to eat Jesus!, Himself and in His word. Thank You Lord.

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...
