“Kasdhf;ivnioSryaehdthhr.” I stared at the trembling human teenager, feeling obvious disdain for this clumsy two-eyed, two-legged creature. My translator buzzed weakly, barely decoding their rough, simple language. Minutes earlier, I had been drifting in boring dark space. All I ever saw were lifeless asteroids and cold gas giants. I was about to turn off my … Read more
HELLO🙃 Yesterday we finished our second seminar for this unit, which is about “what makes a good blog post”. The seminar helped me discover some methods to make my blog more engaging and interesting. I got a 6 and a 7 (again😭🫣) but I did succeed in getting one more “middle” than the previous seminar. … Read more
This travel seminar was a really interesting experience for me. I missed the first session, so I didn’t know all the background or what the group had already talked about. Before the second class, I heard from my classmates and teacher. They said our quote analysis had gotten low marks. So I decided to prepare … Read more
This times seminar was about travel and literary quotes, it was an interesting discussion where we dove deeply into the core meaning of traveling, why we travel and what values we achieve. My performance during this seminar was nothing exceptional. I only chose to speak a couple times which made climbing the score board significantly … Read more
Our seminar this time was about Literary Travel Quotes, at first i didn’t think much of it and thought it would just be a discussion of how the background of the author connects to what he wrote or some generic stuff like that, but i was completely mistaken. This seminar was really fun but also … Read more
As the first seminar of the unit, I think I did a decent job. Our seminar was mostly about “Travel” (well, actually all of it). We all gave different opinions about travel and, at the same time, analyzed literary quotes to support our opinions. We started off with “Why travel is important in modern life.” … Read more
In the previous seminar on the literary quotes of travel, I scored a 6 (a), and a 7 (c). The seminar included questions that were vague, like your interpretation of the quotes. Because there’s 4 pages of quotes, we were talking about very different stuff, which caused the seminar to not be a “discussion” but … Read more
So we had another seminar. I got a A4C6, but the A4 was only earned from the second class. I think I did pretty well on the second class. I did miss connecting points in the first class, though. I could do better if I had connected more points and quotes in the first class. … Read more
My score was A4C6. From the seminar I learned that a journey may not necessarily be a physical journey. And journeys can give us more diverse perspectives to help us understand the world and gain more knowledge. I was quite initiative at the first two classes, but I stayed quiet during the last class. I think I should speak more … Read more
Reflection on my own performance: Score: 6 for “speaking”, 8 for “listening” I expressed my thoughts a lot during the seminar, but most of them are not really related to the quotes (only answering the questions the leaders gave us). I think this is why I only got a 6 for my “speaking” part🥲 (you … Read more
The Dive into Hazbin Hotel Part 1: How I stumbled into this world It started with a random video in my social media feed. A friend shared a clip of some demon with a big grin, and I just scrolled past it at first. Then, a few days later, I ended up seeing another edit—this … Read more
This was a windy day. The sky was very blue; some clouds were floating. I was riding my bike to school. But I accidentally went into a shopping mall. There was no one in the shoppingmall. All the stores were closed. I was wandering around. I’m on the second floor of the shopping mall. There were a big stair and a long swirling slide … Read more
