Sick

This week was a mediocre week. I went to service learning again this week. This week was a lot better than the other weeks and I can safely say that this was the best week I’ve had at O’Bryant. This week, we were asked to check on the kids’ hooks and topic sentences. Most of the students didn’t have that great of hooks, but it was fine. They mostly all used questions as hooks. It got kind of boring because the hooks weren’t very intriguing. I tried to help them the best I could, but some of them couldn’t be fixed. If I changed it, it would require the student to change the entire introduction, which was going to be a hassle. But what really intrigued me was the topic sentences. It was good to see what the students have developed since the first week. I finally got something to read. I got to see if they took my ideas or came up with their own. Not all of these topic sentences were good, but there was a fair amount. Some of the students finally showed me that they knew what they were going to write about, yet some of them are still confused and don’t really have anything written. Other than service learning, my weekend was pretty boring. Nothing interesting really happened. On Saturday, I woke up pretty sick. I had a headache, coughing, runny rose, and a sore throat. I don’t really know how I got sick, but I think it was because I drank someone’s drink who was already sick. I’m not sure, but that’s just a possibility. Another possibility is that I got sick through not wearing enough clothes, especially when sleeping. I don’t know why, but I get so vulnerable when I sleep at night. My roommate opens the window and turns on a fan when are sleeping. It really pisses me off, but I can’t really say anything about it.  It gets so cold in my room, a blanket is not enough. I really don’t understand why he has to turn on a fan when he sleeps. But because I fell asleep pretty early on Friday, it carried on to Saturday and I was unaware that I wasn’t wearing enough clothes. I fell asleep watching a video on my phone and I was unaware that I went to sleep. That’s probably why I got sick. Anyways, it was a pretty bad and boring weekend. I basically layed in bed and tried to rest up for the weekend and my midterm on Monday for Biology. I thought the Biology midterm was pretty good. I obviously studied a lot over the weekend, and it showed on the test. I feel like even though I studied so much, it was still kind of tricky and some questions still tripped me up. After not doing so well on the first biology midterm, I knew that I needed to study so much and put in all my effort on the next midterm.
