Feelings:

  • This week was pretty good because I didn’t have as much work to do so I had a lot of free time to relax

Prompt: I use rhetoric in my daily life when it comes to my social media accounts. I like to portray myself as a fun, outgoing, and aesthetic person when in reality I’m really shy, barely go places and many would say I’m pretty basic. I post pictures of me and my friends whenever we’re out doing something fun or exploring the city. Social media platforms are very deceiving because people only post on the good days and whatever they think people will enjoy seeing. Even though people shouldn’t believe everything they see online, it is nice being able to show a different side of you that few people get to see or experience every day.

What I did:

  • Took notes on chapter 4 and 5 for psych assignments
  • Watched pre-recorded lessons for chapters 4 and 5
  • Took a quiz on chapter 5
  • Submitted the quarterly feedback form

What went well:

  • Got a good grade on my psych assignments and quiz

To do list:

  • Turn in Literacy Narrative polished draft
  • Start writing writer journal prompt for week 5
  • Study for music exam

Where I left off:

  • Finish taking notes on chapter 6 for psych
  • Finish watching pre-recorded lectures

Feelings:

  • This week was okay overall. I caught up on some assignments/readings and I got a head start on the ones due next week as well.

Prompt: Do you practice any of these habits of mind? Out of all the habits mentioned, I feel like I practice curiosity, openness, and flexibility the most. I’m a very open-minded and curious person who has always been the type who asks a lot of questions and is always doing research on topics I know little about. I’m also open to feedback and to hear other people’s opinions and use that in order to educate myself and improve. Lastly, I also practice flexibility when adapting to certain situations and try to always approach things in different ways if something isn’t working.
