I felt like I learned a lot today. I didn't do anything special, I just had a normal day, but I discovered so many new things. For example, when I was helping my cousin with her English midterm project, which was to create a test on a book The Face on the Milk Carton, it was as if I read the whole book and I can now summarize it. We worked together to come up with the right questions and excerpts from the book for the essay question, which was the perfect example of the saying, "two heads are better than one". We finally finished the assignment hours later, but at least it was done and to me it deserves an A! When we were done, we were able to go to the movies to see "Mall Cop," which was great by the way. This made me realize that it is so much better to get your work done first, then go have a good time. You can't go have fun first, then try to go back and get focused on doing work. This reminds me that I really need to prioritize better and I need to improve my study and work habits about 90% to get through the second semester of my senior year and adapt to my freshman year in college.
