3rd Quater Reflection

The TIQA format was the best stragedy I learned in this class. This type of organization let me understand what I needed to fix or insert in my writing. It has made my writing easier because when you look over my blogs at the beginning of the year you can notice that my writing is all over the place. When I learned the stragedy I was able to put everything in order and not confuse the reader. It gave me the ability to create thorough writing. There is another stragedy that is like the TIQA, it is called ANT. The TIQA format gave organization to the body paragraphs and not the introduction. Normally before I learned that I just wrote something that seemed like an introduction. Both of those stragedy's overall have helped me a lot with writing making a little bit easier to cope with the amount of writing I have to do.

Besides writing I have been reading a lot more. My 15 book challenge has been doing quite well but their is always more I can read. That is why I joined battle of the books, I thought it will give me a really good boost in my challenge. Joining that event has made me realize that books aren't all that boring because the truth is I never really enjoyed reading. I always thought that reading was a waste of time and I never found any joy of doing it. Then I came across a few books that I have really enjoyed, for example Shark Girl. This book combined poetry with the story and I found it very intesting. The book gave a great story and also encorprated poems to help the reader understand what the character was feeling. That is why It might be one of my favorite books.

The 3rd quater was one of the hardest things to deal with in my life. The work wasn't that much of the problom although that's what made it tough. During the 3rd quater I entered the most time consuming stress ever. Since there are now 10 plus people in my house things started to get really hectic. Before my sister will be at work and right when I come home her kids are here, all 4 of them and they are all 7 years and younger. So I usually have to take them in and put them where they usually are. I worry about that until my mom gets home at around 5:30 or 6. Now that was decently easy I usually start working around five. During that time I get distracted a lot, sometimes my fault but other times its about siblings are something else. There are some fights between my family members and I was involved and my siblings so I'm kinda always thinking or sometimes stressed out. Hopefully since my sister is leaving with her kids that I would be back to normal and finally be able to improve in the following next quarter.
