Writing has always been something that has been a little bit of a breeze for me. It was something I had always done because I wanted to, and I incorporated any school writing into that. But at this year has gone by, I have been forced to shift my focus from low-key personal narratives to formal research projects, which has been hard for me. Usually, I can make my writing flow purely because I like writing. But since I'm not as much of a fan of research papers, that insurance left, and I was forced to find other ways to make things work.
In terms of reading, not much has changed. I'm a little better at reading poetry than I used to be, but other than that, I'm still reading my books for six and a half hours every week and just enjoying it. The only thing that was different was when Dr. D gave me Arcadia. It's really hard, and even though it's an eighth of the usual size of my books, it's taking me ten times as long. But I think that reading a book like this is good for me because half the time when I'm reading I just read a book a night and I don't get anything out of it but the plot. This book forces me to slow down and think, something a lot of other books don't do.
