Weekly Blog Oct 29

 This week was okay, it was definitely something. It started off fine but as it progressed it slowly got worse. It had the usual, daily duties and school and classes. For daily duties we had ID's which didn't really have any problems so yeah. As for our leadership periods we began to work on GT more, my two gt's and I are working on storyboarding, I feel like it's turning out pretty good so far. On tuesday we had luncheon which gave us the opportunity to get to know the alumni better and on thursday we had the second family nite. Micah, Crystia, and I worked Mrs. Rockwells booth and I found it quite fun.

This weeks highlights and lowlights: Let me start with lowlights because this past week really had me going through it. I don't even understand what's up with my brain but everything felt so pressuring this week, life isn't even too bad I think, like I got nice stuff and awesome friends so why was I stressing so much. Lately it's been feeling like I'm on autopilot where I'm there and do the stuff I gotta do, but I never really think much about it. Guess that's why I feel pressured maybe? Anyways, enough of that venting, another lowlight of mine was the fact that I had sniffles the whole week. It was so embarrasing like I couldn't even speak properly without having to sneeze or something 🤯🤯😕 I really should have just stayed home but my mom never let me. As for highlights, I really enjoyed doing petroglyphs in Mrs. Rockwells booth, it was fun, easy, and very informative so yass. Also, Mrs. Rockwell is pretty funny to talk to and she made sure we were having fun and understood the booth. My next highlight is luncheon. I loved luncheon because the food was so scrumptious and also I just like spending time with everyone in leadership, even the alumnis. I learned so much about them from the speed dating activities.

This week really taught me I need to be more open and expressive with my feelings. From hearing Mr. Ing's old blogs I realized, "Blogs really do give a glimpse into someone's week and being in their shoes so I should put more effort then just the basics." Hopefully I'm improving in this area. Not only did I learn from this but I also learned because the stuff going on personally got me messed up. Like for example, the way I got myself into certain situations all because I can't express my feelings and thoughts.

Finally, this week was the first week of magic notes!! I do admit I was lazy on some magic notes which is really sucky because I know others work hard to make someone's week and I viewed it as something to get over with. But from seeing the excitement on everyone's faces when Mr. Ing told us we can go get our magic notes, I now really understand how important they are. All the magic notes I received were very uplifting but from all of them I loved Eliscia's the most. Eliscia never fails to make sure my feelings are understood and validated and I love how she's always there for everyone. I'm so serious when I say that reading her magic note almost got me crying. She also complimented my smile which I don't find too pretty but it really made my week.
