During the past couple of weeks I have been especially stressed. My grades are not where I want them to be. I have so many C's and D's. Hopefully I can bring them up before the quarter is over or before my parents see the grade. Homecoming has also been stressful. I have had to order all of the costume stuff and I had to next day deliver it.

After-school activities are also a big factor. I have something to do every day after school. I am up until 10 every night just doing homework. I don't even get to relax on the weekends because I have a Cross Country meet every Saturday and I have to wake up early to go to that. Hopefully second semester won't be so stressful.

Reading-
1 hour

Reading Response:
I am so glad that we get to choose three short stories on our own instead of Dr. D giving us one that we have to do. I think that I am going to do my literary analysis on "A Dead Woman's Secret". I really liked the plot twist in that one.

I also read The Sniper and Sucker. I know that a lot of people have done their analysis on those two short stories. I only read them because people said that they were good and that I should read them. I thought that they were good as well. I liked Sucker a lot; I thought that the way the story showed character was especially well done.
