Brave New World Essay Refelction

Weeellllll today could have gone a lot better, but for the most part I think I did well on my essay. Once again, I feel like managing my time and laying out my pre-write is what I struggle on the most, because I can never fit in my conclusion or all the examples and points I want to mention. I know thats what I need to work on the most, and also having confidence in my writing and not letting the pressure of tie get to me. However, I feel my pre-write did help me see what I wanted to base my essay on and layout my main focuses, just using my time wisely into making my pre write is what I need to remember for next time.

Well Im doing a group project with a couple people from class, and our idea is to all link our own authors to one another and set a scavenger hunt amongst our blogs. The clues will be based on facts about author, and in one way they shall connect to another author have it as a chain link. Then in the end we will reveal all of our authors.

Josie College

After Mrs. Durkis presentation about college, it made me realize that I actually don't have that much time left before I need to register for colleges. A lot of her information, and websites were very helpful, and to know about those websites and how they narrow down schools to your interest was really cool! A campus that I've been interested in for a long time is Cal Poly SLO, mainly because they have a good liberal arts classes, it's close to home, and I love the environment of San Luis. Although I haven't had the chance to explore other schools that deal with journalism, and I think the websites from the presentation could help me see a bigger variety of schools.
I think the biggest challenge after high school is going to be money, and debt. Even though I know I can get a lot of help from scholarships I'm still debating on going to Hancock for my first two years and then transferring, just so I won't start off my college life with a big debt.
