CST Testing Reflection

Taking the CST’s so far was super boring. There were only a few questions that I actually knew the answer to. Everything else made my mind go crazy so I just took a smart guess. I have not finish testing everything yet, tomorrow I have to take another portion of Biology. I get tired really quick while I am testing, that’s why I stand up once in awhile so I won’t fall asleep. I hate testing period, it makes me moody the whole day. The questions on the Biology part, was things that we have been learning recently, but I barely remember anything. I should have paid more attention more in class.

My Feelings about the Upcoming CSTs

Next week, I am taking the California Standardized Testing (CST). I feel really unplanned. I am always afraid of taking test that I have not studied directly. But, I know I will at least try my best to pass and be very focus for the test. I will think good thoughts. I had experience many experiences where I was not prepared for my test to where I was so frustrated and guessed through the test. The upcoming test makes me feel sick inside my stomach. I do not even want to think about the test, I heard that in the California Standardized Testing has Science in it. I do not even remember what I did in middle school.

This weekend I went to the temple with my family. I felt awkward because I haven’t been there since I got taken away from the system. But, at same time it felt good, refreshing. After the ceremony and stuff we ate a lot of food and got blessed from the monks. I visited my aunt’s an grandpa’s ashes in the temple. I felt really tense at on point because I was holding them. After the temple we went home and cook and had a barebeque with the family. I love seeing all my nephews and neices, they’re growing up so fast! I barely remember their names, there are so many newborns.

Playwrights Project Inspired by Music Paragraph

Today in class, we listen to music to inspire creative play writings. I really like it, it was fun. When I closed my eyes, I can see whats happening in my play. The music helped me, it just came to me naturally; it was like a movie. There was actually a part where I kept my eyes closed and typed, keeping my eyes closed at one point scared me. While listening to the music, I became scared because the things I was imagining was scary and it was so detailed, especially with the scary music in the background. Afterward, I felt really good because I got a compliment from Ms. Cindy, she said “You know, you’re really good at this; making up plays”.

UnGoogleable Research Paper Website Selection Reflection

Today in class, I search for my resources in many different search engines. To search for websites, I type in “Central Intelligence Agency”. When I found a website related to my focus question, I knew it was the right one because it had a lot of information and detailed things. I knew some of the websites I found were unacceptable because they had a lot of people’s opinion on the page and many advertisements. The websites I selected are good because they were from .gov. Tomorrow, I expect Ms. Priester will tell me to choose this and that websites because they’re great resources. Although, Ms. Priester will say, "We need to reword your focus question", I still did a good job.
