"It sounds like you wrote the world away." - JW 20.04.17 

Can you crack the code (it's super easy). 

So yesterday I finally finished my ESSAY DRAFT! Yay! I know, thank you thank you! No need for applause, and you really didn't need to bring me flowers. Okay, I'm joking. 

I'm not that arrogant. 

The essay was really draining, and I procrastinated alot because I just didn't feel like writing anything. I was having writer's block.

STORYTIME: I Was Smart

Gabbi sighed as she stared down at her page. 

Brain storming for speech ideas. 

She was in English class, usually a subject she looked forward to attending, but today ideas and creatuve flow was just not coming to her. The topic for the speech was: The One Thing I Would Change About the World

You could go many ways with this speech. Many ironic, cliché ways. War, bullying, homework, poverty, homelessness. She could nto deny that these were real, legitimate problems in the world, but none of the ideas really got her motivated. 

2016 was not her year. 

She thought back about 2015, and her english classes. Oh! THE FUN SHE HAD!

Advanced spelling words! Premiers Reading Challenge! Essays she wrote and felt so grown up. And the video they had to make using SWAT codes, no speech and having an inferred meaning.

FUN! 

She banged her head on the next, ignoring the strange looks from all her pesky classmates who were not helping her brain storming. 

She shot up her hand. 

The teacher saw Gabbi's eager and shaking hand in the air, looked down her nose through her glasses, and oh-so-professionally, answered, "Yes, Gabbi?"

Gabbi smiled,d knowing her answer was going to be witty, because none of her classmates would know what she was going to say and what it meant, because nobody went to her primary school when the teacher explained to her class what the term she was about to use was. 

"I have writer's block," she said. Not smugly, but casually. 

Confused looks whipped arounf the class. A few individuals, remaning unamed, whispered what's that, I don't really care, smart-ass, Gabbi, what's that? I think I have it too!

The teacher's eyes filled with understanding. 

"Poor thing, you can help cut out the stars with the class's individual annual goals on them!" 

So she got up out of her seat. 

"I can't think of any ideas!" one of her clsoe friends groaned. 

"Come on, you can cut out stars, too."

So Gabbi ended up being very smart with her knowledge and got to waste the lesson cutting out shiny pieces of paper with goals for the year. 

Like: 

Get an A in writing. 

Improve my spelling. 

Get at least 80% in every assignment, on average. 

MORAL OF THE STORY: sometimes being a smart-ass pays off. 

Gabbi did her speech on Nucleur weapons, using the incident in 1945, Hiroshima and Nagasaki as inspiration

MOVING ON 

Fun fact: my average body paragraph is 697.8 words long. Yes, I took the time to calculate it. 

I'm just so relieved that I finished it, as it this essay has been a long process. 

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

Have you ever been really smart in class, or replied to a teacher in a rather witty way? 

Have you had a school assignment which you have not been motivated for at all?
