Twice a year we adjust our clocks for daylight saving time, but the change can affect our sleep, energy, and daily routines. Now that we have sprung forward; reflect on how this time change impacts you personally. Do you find it easy or difficult to adjust your schedule? Explain how the time change affects your mood, productivity, or daily habits.

 Because of changing the time I have been so much more tired. When I go to sleep at 11pm, it feels like 10pm, so I am not tired enough to fall asleep. Then, when I wake up at 7am, it feels like 6am, so it feels really early and disorienting. I have been less productive and more disoriented about time. It is very hard for me to adjust to the new change. 

In class we read chapter 6.

I learned about McCandless' time with Franz.

After reading “Out, Out—” by Robert Frost, reflect on a time when you faced a dangerous or high-pressure situation that demanded your complete focus. What made the situation risky, and how did your concentration affect the outcome?

 I do not have a specific time when I was in a dangerous or stressful situation that needed my complete focus, but I did have a very important final last year that challenged my focus. I was taking a chemistry final, and my chemistry grade was right on the edge of an A. I knew I had to get an A on this final to get an A in the class because my dad had said that if I got any B's that I would be grounded. The final was very challenging and confusing, and what made it worse was that the person sitting next to be was tapping her pencil and her leg. I had a hard time focusing on my work, but I had to push through the distractions to finish the test in time. In class today we read a Frost poem, annotated it, and did discussion questions. I learned how to dig deeper into poems to uncover their meanings, and that a good poem has a life of its own.

Write about something that you wish you had more of

 Something I wish I had more of was energy. I feel like I'm always tired and it effects my ability to socialize, do my work, and stay focused. Whenever I have energy I am so much better at talking to people and it makes my day better. I try to go to sleep early but it never seems to be enough. I also do get a burst of energy at the end of the day which I wish was available throughout the day.  Today in class we worked on our poster for our Origin Myth. Today I learned about using Adobe Express and how to represent my story with symbols and pictures.

Write about a time you felt connected to nature, like the kinship in Native American myths

 I remember being a little kid and running around my big, green backyard. A certain day in the summer heat I came across an abandoned nest of baby birds. Being a young and explorative child, I took the lonely chicks into custody and cared for them as if I was their mother. Each day coming home from school, I would run through the house to my backyard where I kept the chicks to feed them their daily meal of fruits and seeds. I recall being completely submersed in caring for these babies, and I took full responsibility over their lives until one day they were nowhere to be found. Looking back, I am aware that anything could have happened to them, but at the time I was so proud to have raised baby birds to adulthood. In class we looked over and took notes about native American lit, and we reviewed vocabulary lesson 1. I learned the characteristics of Urban Legends, Myths, and Religion.
