Choose a word from Vocabulary Lesson 12. In at least one paragraph, define the word in your own words and explain where you encountered it. Describe how understanding this word helps improve your communication or writing skills.

 The word "maelstrom" refers to an intense or chaotic whirlpool. I usually encounter this in my history class maybe learning about historical wars. Using this word is best to describe when a situation is chaotic. instead of saying " out of control" you can say "maelstrom".  Using such evocative words enhances the emotional intensity and clarity of writing, helping the audience grasp the scale or severity of a situation more effectively. Today we learned a new set of vocabulary words and had to do these small exercises with it. Today, I feel calm.

If you could plan the perfect spring break with no limitation, money, time, or responsibilities—what would it look like? Where would you go, who would you bring, and what would you do?

Simple. I would go to California and go to Disney Land and Universal Studios and to the beach while renting out an Airbnb. I think I'd like to bring my family (maybe). Sometimes one of them can be in a bad mood and I wouldn't want them to ruin the whole vibe of me visiting either of these places to relax and enjoy the time in Califonia. Disney Land is way bigger than Disney World in Florida and has way cooler rides from what I've seen in videos and ads. In class, we just took the time and made up any missing work we had and I really need to catch up on these blog posts. Today I feel relaxed because in all my classes we did nothing since today is the day before spring break and no one wants to assign any work. Or it could be because there was no wifi throughout the whole day, but I'm not complaining.

After reading The Tyger by William Blake, take a moment to reflect on the idea of creation. What do you believe is the most beautiful creation in the world—natural or man-made—and why? Describe it in detail and explain what makes it so awe-inspiring to you

 I think the most beautiful thing in the world is the ocean. It really beautiful to what it may seem as just water but the ocean carries life. Sometimes simple things like water, we tend to be grateful for it. I remember the first time I went to the beach, I immediately fell in love with it. The small fish by the shore, the seashells in the sand, and the seagulls flying above my head. In the night small crabs come out, it was a little scary to me, but I realized not only fish live in the water but also those that get around by crawling. Today we read over a new poem called The Tiger which is the sepaker admiring the creation of the tiger. Today I feel ok and have to study for my calc test that I have tomorrow.

How do you find time to enjoy your day, even when you have a lot going on? Write about at least three specific things you do to enjoy small moments throughout your day.

Looking at my surroundings, talking to friends, and trying to manage my time are three things I try to do to enjoy my day. When I become stress with my studies I always take a sudden pause and just look around my room or the outside of my window. I then just become trapped in my thoughts for a good minute thinking how Im so grateful that I am only stressed about my studies than having the stress over other stuff. Today, we had to finsih our one pager about the two poems we chose. Today I feel good because I am closer to graduation and every day its starting to feel more real, but im excited.
