Critical and Reflective Thinking

The reality of a courtroom subverted my expectations by being slightly underwhelming. While their may be a few courtrooms you can walk into with both a crown and a defense, i found the majority of the courtrooms i would walk into would be something uninteresting like parking tickets or failure to check in for parole. While underwhelming , it was still interesting to witness the process of a court hearing and being able to observe how each role plays a part in the courtroom. What i found most interesting was how much technology has been integrated into the legal system. In almost every courtroom i walked into there were not only massive television screens but large cameras as well so whoever joined virtually could see the courtroom.

The Daily Lifestyle Tracker allowed me to analyze my habits and patterns I could see in my during a school week. It let me see what I was doing well and what I needed to improve on. Overall, the Daily Lifestyle Tracker was a good addition to my routine as it allowed me to improve on my bad habits and weaknesses.

what aspect of your lifestyle do you think you could improve upon?
I could definitely improve on my sleep habits, on school weeks I normally get 5-6 hours of sleep, 7 if I’m really lucky. To improve my sleeping patterns, I could incorporate relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or meditation before bedtime to help unwind and prepare my body for sleep. Additionally, prioritizing regular exercise and a balanced diet can promote my overall well-being and enhance my quality of sleep.

Why do you think Japan is so creative with its sandwiches?

I think Japan is creative with its sandwiches to incorporate as much of its cuisine into a simple package as possible. Also to give people a variety of foods to add to their diet. These sandwiches are so much better than the ones you see in Canada. Canadian sandwiches are boring and are almost always the same. White bread, mayo, lettuce, meat, cheese. In japan you can find, fruit, egg, tonkatsu, on delicious fluffy bread.

What is the most creative meal you have had? Would it taste good in sandwich form?

I’m not sure what the most “creative” food I’ve had is but I can take one of my favourite meals, filippine curry, and sandwichify it. I think the curry would be amazing in a sandwich however it is a little wet so something would need to be added for texture such as bread crumbs or anything else crunchy.

What sandwich type are you most excited to try?

I would be most excited to try this kind of sandwich. A strawberry cream sandwich. The reason I would want to try this is because I have seen it in a strictly dumpling video and have been obsessed ever since. It looks so good and the way he describes it makes it sound even better.

If offered, would you eat a piece of Anpanman’s head? why???

I probably would not eat a piece of his head as not only would I feel bad, but Anpanman would lose his powers in the process. Anpanman definitely has some other people that are worth saving more than I am anyways.
