Today in class we did a Newsela assignment on pros and cons of the Pledge of Allegiance. There was a fire drill and we lost some class time. The lesson today taught me about different reasons for standing for the pledge and reasons for not standing. Both sides have their reasons and it's important to remember that standing for the pledge is not mandatory in the U.S. I had a good time in class and learned something new.

      Today in class we learned a useful brainstorming idea to make finding talking points for essays easier. We simply pick out our main topic and find sub-topics within that topic to branch out from. From there we use the sub-topics to find even more things to write about. This method is really useful for planning out essays. I will use this method in the future to help write my own essays. I learned a useful thing in class that I will make sure to utilize in the future.

Something I have too much of

           I have too much free time. I often have nothing to do most days. I don't go out nearly as much as I used to and I no longer work. I've applied to a few jobs but so far I haven't gotten a response. I could be doing my school work but I have a hard time focusing at home so I usually just sleep. Most of my free time is actually spent sleeping which is why I'm always up late at night.

None of my middle school friends know what happened to him but I hope he's doing well.
