When you are in a mood that you do not like, what are some strategies that you use to change your mood?

 When I'm in a bad mood, I like to do things that I like such as listening to music, reading, or crocheting, because doing these activities usually helps distract me from how I feel and overall make me feel a bit better.

Today in class we worked on two Common Lits. 

Doing this assignment has helped me better be able to analyze texts and then answer questions.

Write about an adventure you would like to go on.

 One adventure that I would like to go to is on a trip to visit museums and monuments in places like Italy and Greece because I've always seen pictures of them and I feel like it would be a whole different experience to see them in person. I've always wanted to visit places like that. Today we started looking at Emilt Dickinsons poetry. What we are doing can help me learn more about how to better understand poetry, as it is something I have always struggled with doing.

Doing this has helped me understand how certain metaphors in poetry are used to convey the theme, when it wasn't as clear to me before.

People sometimes feel the need to step away from their normal routines or environments in order to better understand themselves. Describe a time when you needed distance from a situation, place, or group of people in order to think more clearly or gain perspective. What did that experience teach you about yourself?

 One time I needed distance was when I felt overwhelmed by school and all my extracurricular activities and I decided to take a step back by spending more time alone and limiting distractions like social media. At first, it felt strange not being as involved, but it gave me space to actually think about what was stressing me out and what I really needed to focus on. During that time, I realized that I tend to take on too much at once and don’t always give myself time to do it all. Having that distance helped me clear my mind, organize my priorities, and come back feeling more in control. It taught me that stepping away isn’t a bad thing. Instead, it can be really important for understanding yourself and making better decisions. Today we read chapters 2 and 3 and took different quotes from each chapter to categorize into themes, along with an explanation for each. Doing this helped me to better understand some of the important recurring concepts in the book, and also made me dig dee...
