5th Post: Reflection of 1st Quarter
Wow, this quarter was really long, yet it flew past in a flash. I only hope second quarter doesn't fly too fast and thus give me a bad grade. First quarter was alot harder than i'd expected, it seems I plunged right into the thick of things. And I did in a sense, the very first few weeks I was struggling to get my first analytical essay of the year under my belt. After the MLA citation test, I realized that Ms. Froehlich was no lenient grader. After coming to terms with the fact that I might actually get a poor grade in this class, I was then genuinely surprised when getting a B on my ELIC essay. My ELIC essay then gave me hope that with hard work and determination, I might be able to come out of this class succesful. Though my success in this class is still limited, I hold out hope for the future, maybe second quarter will bring good fortune with its new opportunities.
I'll have to work my butt off during second quarter if I want to recieve a sufficent semester grade. I also understand that missing class is much more severe to my grade and performance than it was last year. After missing three days of school simultaniously, I became dangerously behind in my school work which still tarnishes my grade. Over all, my first quarter performance was less than what I'd expected of myself. As Ms. Froehlich said, first quarter is just the bar being set, you can now only improve.
Which is exactly what I intend to do.

Lacey, I like your tone of voice here - as if you're sick and tired of all this stuff but willing to succeed. This is probably how many of us feel, including me. Yet, I especially agree with you on the realization that Ms. Froehlich really keeps on you on your toes. Finally, nice dramatic ending to this blog. Good luck on this quarter.
Lacey, I agree that missing school is alot harder in high school than it was last year. In middle school, I would look forward to missing school, but I have to miss alot of school in the next month because of swimming and I am really worried about it. Missing just one day of school gives you SO MUCH make-up work its INSANE!
I hope I survive the 5ish days I will be missing!
I think you've made your way through first quarter quite well. Don't be so hard on yourself! Excellence takes effort to achieve and I believe we can all do it together. Be sure to use me as a resource during lab days on the research paper so that I can help you to achieve your Q2 goals!
