Final Metacognition
At last, it’s over. Dear Fitz, “Metacognition” is a fancy word. I’ve had that thought for the entire year, but I’ve never remembered to actually write it down in any metacognitions before. But now I have. Now what? I don’t know. I don’t think I want to know. Why not... Continue reading

Wowie, what a train wreck of a post “There’s too much green in nature” -Garfield Pollen is bad. Pollen makes it hard for me to take walks now. When I tried to take a walk, pollen made life bad. Wow. What an amazing hook. Best broad theme narrow theme one-two punch ever. I am so good at...

The walk
The walk was nice. We went on this small single track path. Rocks were EVERYWHERE. Since the mass quarantine we have been hiking to cliffs and peaks near our house. The hike always start with a small bike ride to the trailhead. We geocache and play Pokémon go on these hikes and we sometimes jus...
Good job. I really liked the simile relating the football and the jet.

A solitary walk
Through the tree swept cold roads I walked. The wind a sad reminder that winter is gone. The soft chirps of birds slowly whirling around me in a sea of noise. The quietness of a community that used to be so loud and exciting saddened me. I then began to think to the past to football when the air...
Good job. I especially liked the metaphor you used in the first paragraph. The entire piece was written very well too.

What a World We Live in
When I went out today there was an odd almost eerie stillness and quietness. Few cars dared to drive and few people chose to walk. Those few people who were outside walked with purpose, trying to avoid contact and interaction with others. Oblivious to the masked insanity around them, the bir...
Good job. I really liked your opening paragraph, and also the way you described your scene.

I really liked the second and third paragraphs; especially the part where you talked about how people were focusing on the smaller issues, while ignoring the larger ones.

Boredom Boredom is a weird thing. Before quarantine I could never say that I was really fully bored, but I think I can now. The reason I was never bored before was because when I wasn’t doing all the homework that I needed to do I was rushing off to a sports practice, playing Xbox or doing othe...
