Reflection.

This week, we learned about mundane; lacking interest or excitement: dull. We've started off to list down 5 or so daily boring activities. It was sort of a hassle since I barely knew what could be defined as 'boring'. Ms.Bailey eventually made us read two stories: Paint Drying and The Bomb. To my surprise, the way the writer analysed and took the small details of something so mundane in Paint Drying, was beyond interesting. For me, I tend to get too creative in essays that we weren't suppose to and during essays when we were suppose to be too creative, I blank out. So for an essay like Paint Drying showed me how and when to appropriately be creative.


During that lesson, we also wrote our own guideline from an extract.

"Do not see the topic on the surface. Go in deeper to understand and explore the situation"

This made me realise that all the essays that I've done, I was too scared to go into depth, to go in deeper. Probably from all my 'awkward sentences' which made me feel a little traumatize of making the same mistakes. But then, it also made me realise that if I'm afraid, I should overcome it, instead of running away.

So overall, the lesson was helpful for me to reflect on what I've done and what I have not achieved.
