This year in English, I learned a lot about analyzing poems and the human condition. I’m proud of how I did on my essays. They vastly improved from last year, because of all the new writing techniques that I learned and was reminded of. I would say, at the end of the semester, I started slacking off a bit. For next time, I need to put more effort throughout the semester. I need to focus more during work time and get distracted less. I liked reading the Chrysalids, because it wasn’t like an assignment. It was a story. Even though, I didn’t particularly like analyzing the poems and short stories, I think that’s where I learned the most.
