1/30 - #14

I found out that my laptop has a feature that has a 'focus timer' which is very helpful! It sets a timer based on how many minutes I want to work and then blocks out any distractions, something i am veeryy prone to. It also has specific times for me to take breaks!

In school today my American History teacher helped us play a joke. She 1/3 of the class to take a walk around the school, and told the remaining 2/3 that when they come back, the people in the class would interview eachother while the 1/3 outside would take notes. The catch was the interviewer and interviewee were told to purposely talk fast, loud, distractedly and indecipherably, to make it hard for the notetakers. It was very entertaining to see them frantically try to take notes. This was to show why the difference between Gray's two sets of notes he took during his interview of Nat Turner, and why his first set, which was hastily written, was much more accurate than his second, significantly neater, set.
