Math Tests, Research Papers, and Shaina's attention Span

Well, I think I have talked about my research paper on here... I finished! I just have to wait for Daddy to come back from watching his football game with his friends to check over it, and it will be submitted, printed, and put away! Hopefully, he won't have to much to change! :)
Well, I took a 6 question math test last week on Tuesday, and I was somewhat worried about it. Because first of all, 6 questions and second one question was worth 40 points! So I had to keep waiting to get it, and on Thursday he said to check the grade book later that night and it might be up. So I went to the football game that night, since we didn't have school on Friday, and forgot to check it since it was so late. So then Friday Danielle and I went and got our hair cut! Mine looks like it did this summer, and I really like it, and Danielle's is more layers. So anyways I was showing Danielle some songs and I remembered that my teacher said it would be put up! He had said he was pretty happy with the grades, and that there was one 100 in the class, and he hoped there would be more, because he hadn't finished. So I get on grade book, and I got a 100! I was so excited! I haven't got a 100, on a math test, since before 6th grade! So I'm pretty excited! :)
So...I tried working on my research paper on Friday and Thursday...but my attention span has been terrible. I basically wrote all of it minus the introduction today. But I had all my research and stuff, so I wasn't to bad off. I get distracted way to easily. Something to work on! :)
So now I have one more essay to write, a DBQ. Which is one where you have to use a whole bunch of documents and then I have some optional math homework, that I'm gonna try and get done. That way I'll get an A in my math class. I have like a 89.47, so it should round up, but just in case!
Well, I think that's about it for now. I'm going to try and do a little better on blogging, but there hasn't really been anything this week except for that stuff!

Inner Motivation

I’m really good at doing what people tell me to do. Like, give me an assignment and I can get it done! The harder part comes when you give me more freedom. Like I have to call all the shots?? I actually got feedback from one of my internship supervisors that related to this. I walked into the one on one thinking I was going to get perfect marks. And he surprised me! But in a good way, he told me, “You’re really great at coming to us and asking what you can do to help. I would love it if instead of coming to us and asking what you could do, you instead came to us with an idea or even something that you had already done. Fulfill a need and take that initiative! You are a part of this internship for a reason and we trust you.” That was probably the best constructive feedback I have ever gotten and I really took it in stride. I started looking for ways I could help and contribute instead of just asking. Flash-forward two years later and I was walking into another one on one with

Lessons from a Movie: Ford v Ferrari

Image
So, this is going to sound very ‘English Major’ of me, but I love finding the life-lessons in movies. Or maybe not even finding the lesson, but what did the movie get me to reflect on. I think I can safely blame this on my parents and my background as an English major.  (Side note: I once wrote a paper comparing two Star Trek movies and how the villains reflected world events at the time. It was my favorite paper to write, I just watched the two movies!)  Back to my previous thought, I can blame my parents because after movies we would always debrief on the car ride home. We talked about what we liked and what we thought about the movie (the Avengers series is a lovely conversation starter and I have all the thoughts about those, but to give you a snippet- I’m a big Iron Man fan). Anyways, this weekend we went and saw Ford v Ferrari. It was really good and I was pleasantly surprised! To be honest, I only went because Micah really wanted to watch it and we hadn’t been to t

5 Ways to Make Working Out in the AM Easier

Image
Now, let me first say it says easier, it doesn’t say easy peasy! Starting a workout routine or even starting healthy habits takes time and patience with yourself! Be sure to set achievable goals so that you can start off on the right foot. This means if you don’t work out at all right now, don’t make a goal to work out every day! Think about your schedule and set an achievable goal for yourself. This could be anything from 1 day to 3, but be sure to take small steps. Your fitness is not a destination, it’s a journey! When I first started adding a fitness routine into my daily schedule I started off working out after work. At the time it worked great, but I started to notice that things would start creeping into my workout time. For example, dinner, hanging out with friends, being super tired, etc. I was able to overcome those things, but I really wanted to have more time after work to relax or hang out with friends (this was pre-corona). I moved my workouts to the morning startin
