As I picked up the outside reading list I saw a lot of
titles that I have either just heard about or I had no clue what they were. I
thought that it would be interesting to try and find a book that I would enjoy
and also expand my horizons in the literary world. I ended up going to the
library to start my search and I looked up a few titles that sounded
interesting. I left with two choices for the first assignment and I am actually
pretty excited to read White Tiger. I
also picked out The Blind Assassin because I recognized
the title and although it looked lengthy, the summary seemed pretty
interesting. On another note, the senior meeting where Ms. Long came into our
classroom was a big wake up call. I realized that I need to narrow down my long
list of possible colleges and focus on a few. I also need to look into the
early decision applications and start applying to my top choices, once I figure
those out. I am a little scattered on where I want to go and I am not definite
on what I want to study so I need to do more planning and research because
deadlines are quickly approaching. I can't wait for the stress and pressure to be over with once I apply to different colleges and find out the results so I can just enjoy senior year.
I suggest going on college visits! It sounds bad but the looks of the campus is really important and that's what helped me decide!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Sam! Going on visits definitely helps the decision making process a lot easier. I'm sure once all of our applications for college and scholarships are in at the beginning of January, we will begin to enjoy our senior year a lot more and not stress as much.
ReplyDeleteI feel you there Morgan! Ms. Long's little speech was like a slap in the face for me too because I'm so stuck in the here and now I really haven't given much thought to what I want to do for college like I should be doing.
