 Something that I have always been curious about is why morning people think themselves so superior to the people who like to stay up late and then sleep in. I mean I will admit I do like waking up early because it makes me feel like I have more time in my day but I do feel a lot more groggy than I usually would. I mean morning people have even made a saying about getting up early like the early bird gets the worm, I just think that is absurd. Today we did the final exam for Multi Cult Lit It was probably easier than what we should have gotten if it was over The Color Purple but I got a good grade on it so I'm not complaining.

 Most special holiday memory was during the Christmas week when my Brother, Dad, and I were hiding the elf that we had bought for our little sister. We had the bright idea to put the elf (who we had named Carl) on the fan in our den, then someone I can't remember who had turned the fan on and the elf went flying into a painting. We had found that so funny we were all laughing and luckily the painting was undamaged too. Today we did interesting facts and a one sentence summary for letters 26 - 27. It was the same thing as yesterday but I was still a nice easy assignment for the end of the year.

 I don't really remember what year it was but my mom had bought me an my brother a PS5 which we had been wanting for years. I'm assuming she might have had to jump through a few hoops to find it because there are these people that are called scalpers who buy the consoles and sell them for exorbidant prices. But me and my brother were so excited to get it and could finally play the games that could only be played on that console. Today we read letters 20 - 25 by ourselves and had to write an interesting fact and a one sentence summary for the letters.  It was kinda nice to listen to music and work by myself because I could focus.

 I think the song was called dynamite. I don't really listen to it now but I listened to it when I was really little in the car with my dad. I remember I would make him play it over and over again and I always had so much fun. We did disscusion questions today for letters 18  It was okay I do like how some of the questions were more opinion based

 I mean I think I used to believe in the tooth fairy as a child. So when I lost a tooth as a child I was always excited, not even really of the money. I usually only got like a quarter or like maybe even a dollar when it happened. I just think I liked the idea of this mystical creature visiting my house. Today we did a group test. It was definintly a little frustrating today when we didn't really do too well, but oh well I guess well learn.

 A time I couldn't stop laughing was when me and my brother were in the basement one night and it was pretty late so we were a little bit loopy. Anyway it might sound odd but we were looking at monkey photos and eventually found a hilarious photo which linked to an eBay site where you could buy these giant monkey stickers and the photos provided were so hilariously photo shopped. The photos were of these giant stickers and they were on a wall and on a cabinet which was super ridiculous. I was basically crying I was laughing so hard. Today we watched the videos that everybody have been working on. It was kinda fun to watch these at first but then when we got the repeated letters it did get a little boring but other than it wasn't to bad to make a video.

 Recently in the last few years I've overcome my fear of social stuff. I used to have a lot of social anxiety out in public, and I think that I managed to get rid of it simpily over time and because I really just stopped caring at a certain point I don't know why honestly. We continued to work on our The Color Purple video  I seriously got messed up with my progress because the software deleted all my data and I had to start over.

 I can't stop thinking about how I need to get more sleep. I know it probably sounds odd but I don't really get a lot of sleep around 5 to 6ish hours. I know it's probably not good for my health but I just for the life of me can't get myself to do it. I have ADHD which messes with my exectutive functioning skills, it's not the sole reason but I'd say that it's still a pretty big factor.  Today we did some stuff on bettering our multiple choice skills and we read a little bit of the book aswell. I thought that the activity we did was actually pretty interesting because the answer that never assumed was the one that was always right. Also the book is now way eaiser to listen to because it's not as gross right now anyway.

 I'd have to say that the one conversation that changed me was with my dad when we were discussing about my future. He told me that I don't have to follow my brother because he is doing college, and he said that I can do something that I find interesting and that I would be satisfied doing. We've talked about some mechanical schools that sound really interesting to me because I really like to do stuff with my hands. But thats really opened my mind and I feel more like my future is predictable instead of some unknown chaos. Today we just did some simple vocabulary I know that these are college words but it's nice to acknowledge that I knew about 80% of those words it almost felt like a game to me in a sense that it was fun and entertaining.
