Having to do this project was somewhat frustrating for me which leads me to believe I probably did learn something. Having to pick whether or not we were going to do this project in a team or not was nice, I wasn't too sure whether or not I'd do well in a group setting but I decided to run with it simply because I wasn't too thrilled about getting up in front of the class to talk about stuff that I honestly wasn't super interested in at first. My thought process was probably much like everyone else's but the outcome for our group wasn't exactly what I thought it would be. The "we're gonna wing this shit" mentality, never works. That pretty much summed up how well our group worked together. lol. I ended up taking matters into my own hands, did the project like we should have to begin with and gave our group paragraphs to read to the class. We did pretty good all things considered so although it wasn't ideal it worked and I think this project can be used to demonstrate the importance of making a plan to execute. I tend to need to write things out and make a plan and I in no way am discrediting my group members, in fact much of what we said was their ideas, I just felt we needed something solid to present to the class. I'm proud of my group and the only thing I would change throughout this whole project is maybe try to be a little more excited about the topic.

It's the first week back in English since first Trimester and I can easily say I'm excited for what's to come. I'm looking forward to learning new strategies and taking on new and hopefully exciting projects in the weeks to come. I'm feeling pretty good about where I am for this last leg of my High School journey and I can't wait to see what new experiences I'll have once college starts but for right now I'll keep my feet on the ground and focus on what's right in front of me. This first week of class has been both somewhat comforting to be back at the grindstone but also somewhat chaotic due to Schoenborn not being here for the first few days. I've learned over the past four years that sometimes we need to embrace chaos and so that's the mindset I've had and will continue to have all throughout this last leg of my high school journey. Picking a book to read this trimester has been pretty difficult, I don't want to overcommit to anything especially with how busy I know this trimester is going to be. It was nice knowing a lot of my work was cut out for me when it came to creating a website, just having to format my weebly for ELA 12B was really nice. I can't wait to see what's to come and I'm proud of the last four years, especially with this most recent one.
