 I don't really remember one, I'm not really a big introspective person which I think leads to me forgeting about a majority of some very important memories. Thats something I should probably work on, but then again I'm a very safe person so I'm probably not exposed to much of these experiences. Today we continued to work on the group project. I could only get a little work done today as you know the power went out for a decently long amout of time, but I think that I am well on track to finishing on time.

 I really want to go to a race track where you can rent super cars. I would like to especially with my dad and maybe my brother, mainly because me and my dad bond over cars and we both enjoy playing racing games. Although I do like the more classic cars Im still very interested in the newer stuff. I said maybe my brother because I just enjoy his company hes not that into cars or racing but I think that he would still have fun. Today we worked on our project. My group decided to split the work up into 3 different parts with me doing slides 2, 3, and 4. While they do the other respective 6 slides, Its kind of nice because the class is so quiet and I dont often get that everyday but I have already finished my two slides all that is left is the 3rd and to voice over all 3.

 Sometimes I wish I have more confidence to start something. There are many hobbies that I wish I could do but most times without the help of someone else I don´t usually follow through with them. It doesn´t help that everytime I see something interesting I think to myself I wanna do that, but in the end I never do. Today we learned about the population of India. We did an assignment about the current and projected rates of population growth, and we had to find three important facts and make one critical thinking question. I think it´ll be interesting to see how Indian will progress and change.

 Im sorry but I genuinley dont remember an act of unexpected kindness im sure there has been something like that, that has happened to me but for the life of me I just cant find one. Today we learned about colorism in india. Im honestly suprised to learn that there is colorism in india, I suppose I never expected it I guess. I just felt like they would never be the people to care about stuff like that, but I guess that was just an assumption even though I dont know to much about their culture.

 My dad just had his birthday and my step-mom had got me to sign his card but I wasnt allowed to look at the back of the card because apparently It would spoil the surprise which confused me because it wasnt even my birthday. Though after we had dinner he started to open his gifts and he got to the big box that had the gift that was pictured on the back of the card. The gift was a stand and chair for a racing simulation because we already had the wheel and pedels. Even though it was his gift I knew that he was gonna let me use it and I was super shocked when he unwrapped it. Today we learned about the open defication problem in India. I kinda understand if maybe you are in a rural part of the country but if you even have one latrine then I think its weird that you wouldnt use it. I guess some beliefs are more powerful than the belief in hygine.

 This might be a cop out answer or just an answer that is shared between everybody, but during covid near the end when I was in the hybrid version of school I couldn't really make too many friends. I would just go to school and then straight home and I didn't really have a life back then. Today we finished the India assignment. We read some document about the culture and religion and interactions between indians. I get most of their traditions but controlling who you meet as a romantic interest feels weird to me. 

 I know this might not be the most exciting thing but me and my dad work on my car in our garage. And when we get some new parts or we are making an old part look pretty or just something as simple as washing the car. That's a place I never want to leave because I also love getting my hands on something and doing strenuous labour there is nothing better than winning against a bolt in the most annoying place. We learned about Indian culture today especially eating with ones hands. I have heard that some people think that it's a gross thing to do eating with your hands but I really don't mind but I do start to get uncomfortable with when the food starts to get a little wet I don't really like when only my hands are wet when I'm doing anything other than washing my hands.

 Today we did a mock vote and we also analyized the poem "Let America Be America Again".  For the mock vote the out come was 17 people voted for Kamala and 2 people voted for trump, I don't know who voted for him but that's crazy. Anyway we talked about the poem and how America is beyond different than what it is today.
