Not 7 Yet

     Today was a very odd and exhausting morning. Every day, five days a week I wake up at 6:45 a.m and start to get ready to go to school. This particular morning, I thought I had heard my alarm go off so I woke up and got in the shower, as I am about to change I check my clock to see if it's late or still early to know if I am running late or if i can still take my time and calmly dress. Turns out I can relax, a lot, essentially fall asleep, why? It's 1:02 a.m, therefore I still have 6 hours to sleep. Although this may seem like a bad thing, the feeling of waking up and still noticing you have plenty more time to sleep is incredibly pleasing and I feel much more rested when I wake up. Surprisingly this is not the first time this has occurred to me. Once I woke up at 5 a.m because of fear of not waking up on time because my alarm didn't work. Due to the fact that this has happened to me many times, I decided to do some research on it and turns out that this can be a sign of anxiety or simply sleeping too early. Even though I know I woke up because of fear of being late, or the climate being too warm, I still feel it's a good idea to discard every possibility in order to make sure there is nothing out of the ordinary occurring.

Comment if this has ever happened to you? How did it feel?

Acting Time!

In english class December 9, 2013 we understood the beginning parts of the play "Romeo & Juliet" by William Shakespeare. Although I had already grasped the jist of these opening scenes, acting them really improved my understanding of the flow and ambient that it transpired in. Thus allowed me to picture how people lived back in that era and gave me a more in-depth idea of the Montague and Capulet altercation. Hence, reenacting the scenes in "Rome & Juliet" greatly increased my understanding of the play and I really enjoyed this activity.

Montague and Capulet Feud

This monday, December 2, there was a reenactment of the Montague and Capulet families in William Shakespeare's widely-known play, "Romeo & Juliet". In order to participate in this we had to learn some insults that Shakespeare had incorporated into his play. Unfortunately I couldn't participate because I wasn't in Mexico, but on my way back from spending Thank Giving with my Mother's side of the family which resides in San Diego, California. Although I can picture exactly how this activity went: I imagine it started smoothly with people having fun, but then some hotheads taking it too personal and getting angry, spoiling the fun for everyone...  what a cliché. Thus, although I couldn't participate in this reenactment, I would of enjoyed it for the most part.

Digital Citizenship

Digital Citizenship basically mean the ability to remain polite or actively participate in an online community/ society. An example of this that is seen often is in youtube, where almost every comment insults ones sexuality or flat out insults them for no particular reason. These comments are a result of people who have nowhere to discharge their negativity, so they choose to pass it on to others via verbal insults. Rarely, there are positive people who have learned how to control their anger and relieve them in a healthier and more positive way, such as exercise. Anyways, digital citizenship also refers to participating positively, like having an online website that helps people as well and updating it daily for the benefit of the people. Hence, stay positive and supportive.
