Quarter 2 Reflection

I believe I have the same challenges I had back in Quarter 1. They consist of being very RETICENT. When it comes to doing the vocabulary and sharing our answers outloud, sometimes I'm unsure whether I'll pronounce the word correctly or have the right answer. I understand that it's a part of learning and I'm very INQUISITIVE through out the class period. Some areas in which I have improved are being able to put a little more details in my writings. Whether it's a free-write or essay. I have also gotton better at annotating a text and looking for the main ideas. Although sometimes, it can surely be NEBULOUS to me, I try my best to understand the concept. 

I have to say that I'm happy and pleased with my performance in Q2. I turned in all assignments and I try not to get distracted by the RAUCOUS class. Some skills that'll help me later on in the future are having a higher vocabulary and better writing skills. The vocab will help me in case I'm applying for a job, I would sound more intelligent and well mannered. An activity that I would like to see more is Bingo. It helped me prepare for vocab test by memorizing some words. Its also a fun way of learning and I'm sure we all enjoy it. 

Forest of Fear!

October 31 was surely a night full of screams, terror and monsters. As most years, I always dress up to show my Halloween spirit. I try to find something spooky; for example a witch, vampire or devil. This year was different, I was a chola! A chola is a teenage girl who associates closely with a cholo. Their style usually relates to subculture of first and second generation Mexican American girl influenced by hip-hop. Some would also be part of gangs. 

At around 8:30pm, my friend and I agreed to meet my cousin at ross and from there head on to the haunted house. We were all anxious to experience that horrifying house! At the "Forest of Fear", we got together with a whole bunch of other friends and waited patiently to enter the haunted house. Some of us were even reticent, didn't want to say much. As we were in line and my turn was getting closer, I felt incredibly terrified from hearing the screams of people already inside. I even wanted to turn around and not enter at all but my cousin didn't let me. I could tell she was exceedingly inquisitive about what awaited us in the house. When we finally entered the house, we were oblivious about the monsters ready to jump out of nowhere and frighten us. 

At the end, I was relieved to get out of there! I felt like my heart was going to jump out of my chest from all the screaming and scared I was. After the Forest of Fear, we head down to a party.  The dancing room was extremely vociferous with all the people shouting, laughing, and yelling. It was also extremely hott! I could feel the sweat going down my legs and arms. We ended up going home at about 1:30 am and as soon as we got to our house, we went directly to bed. I've hadn't have a night this in the longest time! It was truly amazing and entertaining. Time for round 2!
