Writing Center

    This past Thursday I went to the writing center at study hall. My writing fellow was Emma Scott, a senior. Before I went to the writing center I was really nervous. I was scared that I wouldn't like my writing fellow.
     The first thing we worked on was my introduction. She helped me add a couple of sentences and gave me ideas for more. Then we moved on to going into more detail about each quote. The final thing we fixed was my conclusion. She noticed that I had restated a lot, and told me how I could change it. Overall my experience at the writing center was amazing.

Cookies

     The world would be a lot different if we used cookies as our currency. The whole world could finally use the same type of money. When you get hungry you could just eat your money. This would be a good type of currency for kids, but not with adults.
     There are many reasons why this would be a horrible type of currency. The cookies would be very easy to break. If you accidentally sit on the cookie it would break, getting rid of some of your money. This would also be not a great choice of currency because people could easily make their own money. Overall the idea of cookies as a currency would probably not work.

Exam Studying

     Its almost that time of school where we have to take midterms. This is the second most stressful time of the year right behind finals. When I eventually start studying Im going to wish I had started earlier. There are many different ways of studying suck as by yourself, with a friend, or with a group of people.
     The most effective way to study for me is to study with a friend. When studying with a friend you are both trying to reach a similar goal. The second most effective way to study is to study by yourself. While studying by yourself you could quiz yourself, or just read over notes. For me the least effective way of studying is to study with a big group. I don't think this is very effective because it is hard to maintain control of the whole group. Overall I really am not ready to start midterms.

LOTF paper

    So far the Lord of the Flies paper has been pretty hard to write. There are many contributing factors to why it is difficult. The first factor is that is very hard to find the quotes in the book, even if you know which quote you want. The second factor is that I find it pretty hard to write the quotations right, especially the quotes that are over 4 lines.
     The hardest part about this paper is getting more than three pages. I had to spend an hour trying to figure out what else to add. After I eventually added enough words, I had to proof read my whole essay. Im glad I reread my paper though because I found multiple mistakes. Overall this paper has been pretty difficult to write.
