Both lol. In elementary school I got very good grades and teachers really liked me. Except the ones that minded that I was constantly writing stories and drawing during lessons.

I got scolded often for not paying attention (who cares, I’m getting good grades, let me do my thing!!!) and some teachers would even confiscate my writings and drawings to keep me from being distracted.

One teacher especially didn’t like that I could not pay attention in class and still get good grades. She took away a story I had been working on for a while and never gave it back. I still get mad when I think about it.

Eugenia, if you’re reading this, I will never forgive you!!! >:(

I read a really good book at the end of last year and it kind of put me in a reading slump. I had to let it sit for a moment and then I kind of didn’t feel like reading anything else for a while.

This happens rarely to me but I’ve actually come to appreciate it when it does. I am trying to get into a “quality over quantity” mindset after a few years of just reading as much as I possibly could.

I feel like we should give books more time to “breathe” in general after we finish reading instead of always jumping into the next one straight away!
