“The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.” -Walt Disney
It gets on my nerves when people just talk about something but not do anything. I’m usually very restless so I tend to jump to the gun. So today I will do all of my vocab quizzes instead of procrastinating.
VERY GOOD.
I have so far been coming to class on time and I intend to keep it that way. I’m usually on my computer 24/7 anyways.
THANK YOU
I want not only a new laptop but also, a new phone.
I will not only buy but also customize my new laptop and phone.
Not only do I swim, but I also play tennis.
Not only do I love reading novels, I also write from time to time.
Not only do I crave slurpees, I also want chocolate!

The OCD person didn't go out of his house lest he would catch some kind of disease.
The dog didn't bury hid bone lest his owners would scold him.
The child never lied to his parents lest they would punish him.
The employee never used her phone during her shift lest she might get fired.

That his dog ate his homework is doubtful.
That the new student is nervous is unnoticeable.
That the car is new is noticeable.
Speaking and writing have different rules.
