Prompt: If you could plan the perfect spring break with no limitation, money, time, or responsibilities—what would it look like? Where would you go, who would you bring, and what would you do? If I could plan a spring break with no limitations, I would either do a road trip to visit every Meow Wolf installation, or go to Japan  Meow Wolf is a company that does these interactive art installations, but not just like the museum ones, it's got a story you've got to find . Like for instance on my 16th birthday we went to one in Las Vegas called Omega Mart, and it's this huge convince store looking place, but if you look closer, there is were products like Vegan Goat Pus and flowers with eyes. That's not all, it's got secret rooms. For instance, I opened up a fridge door and it was a whole hallway that led to a huge other part of the building. It was just overall very cool and i'd like to visit all of their installations. I would probably bring a notepad and pencil, ...

Mastering vocabulary can impact daily communication because knowing more words can help you effectively convey what's in your head. This is very important when trying to talk to people. Sometimes you don't know the words to say what you're trying to say, so precise vocabulary can help with that. Also, regarding academic success, the more words you know the better. This is mostly to show that what you've learned and that you can put it into practice. We did a vocabulary assignment today in class, writing sentences and doing two exercises. 

This is a bit different from the prompt, but one time I had a dream when there was a contagious insanity spreading. Without rambling on too much, basically, there was some incomprehensible being deep underground and the government had awakened it. There was a bunch of propaganda that the people who went insane sort of deserved it. To go along with that, there were government 'institutes'. This is where the infected were put. Now, I wasn't myself in the dream, sort of in the backseat watching this happen to a guy, but he went to one of these institutes to investigate. The institutes were almost entirely underground, going miles and miles down. Except for the lobby, which put up the facade of a welcoming and rehabilitating place. I remember there was an old rusty elevator at the far end of the hall. As he inched closer and closer to it, I could feel it. Me personally, I have never really felt anything like this, to any degree in my own life, so I can't properly explain in...

My favorite word(s) right now is 'funky fresh'. That or 'Chat'. I use both in my daily speech quite a lot actually. 'Funky fresh' is really useful for situations where you want to say "You are being irritable" or "You've made a huge not cool mistake". You can just say 'You're not being funky fresh' for any situation, and surprisingly, people will take that super seriously. You don't want to get classified as not being funky fresh. I also use it when cool beans isn't enough to describe something, hence it being funky fresh. As for 'Chat', its really useful because some people be getting really pressed when you address them as 'bro'. Chat is applicable to everyone and can be used for both one person or a group without having to change how it's used in a sentence. Very convenient.  Today we did an independent learning sort of thing on paper of our vocabulary. 

 It's very important to keep eating and or making cultural foods. They are apart of my life and helps me be closer to my roots. There's also a lot of happy memories involved with these types of food, so that's a bonus. I don't think I could live with tamales or flautas. Both of these are things my Mother has made for me since I was little, and it makes me feel closer to her. I've actually made it a habit to be in the kitchen and ask her to teach me to make them. 

 I would feel really exposed and uncomfortable. I'm sort of paranoid about that sort of thing so I've got little camera covering on my cellphone and electronics. Plus I don't really like taking pictures of myself, so it's easier to not feel like my privacy is invaded. I definitely think privacy should be a basic civil liberty. This is because in our day and age where everything can and will be posted online about you, it's very taxing mentally to be out there. Like celebrities for example, we shouldn't know as much as we do about these literal humans just trying to live their own lives. 

  A little backstory for this, in my fifth period I have the class Audio Video Tech and Film, and we as the name suggests, study to make films. On Monday, we had to turn in a film for the Dekalb Film Fest but it went just horribly wrong. My group and I started out with a zombie type film, and spent about a whole month of time preparing and filming. Then our director gets moved from the class, before we had even started filming yet. We try to press on. I had to organize every meeting and coordinate, which is crazy because I can barely organize myself on a good day. There were so many phone calls of just me having to importune my group mates, just to make sure they would show up.  However, without an actual leader, everyone sort of does their own thing. I tried to organize it but no one was listening to me at all, which was frustrating. The deadline doesn’t really feel imminent at this point, which likely contributed to the shortcoming we experienced. I am the assigned editor so...
