JOURNAL TOPIC: (today's tunes: "Try [Just a Little Bit Harder]" by Janis Joplin; "Try a Little Tenderness" by Otis Redding)

Now that you know the real meaning of essay, how did it feel to try yesterday?  Speaking of trying, when does it make sense to be hard on yourself when you're trying to get something right, and when does it make sense to be gentle/kind to yourself?

AGENDA:
1. Journal
2. Work on tying up loose ends and posting to your blog
3. Prep for vocab tomorrow
4. Writers' conferences
