Lamb to the Slaughter (Mary Maloney)

Diary Entry, at 11pm

Finally, they left after eating the leg of the lamb. The weapon and evidence were gone. Imagine my fear when they said that they wanted to grab sandwiches, instead of eating the cooked lamb. I could not control my giggle when they said that the weapon could be right under their noses. Phew!
I could not understand myself, I am so devoted to Patrick and loved him wholeheartedly, but I did not seem to feel any pain when I hit him so hard. Even seeing the body, I did not shed any tears. Why? Did my love for him change over time? It could just be hatred that he was leaving the baby and I. Why a divorce? Did he have another woman outside?
The inspector is going to come again tomorrow, I must prepare myself and not let the cat out of the bag. What questions would he ask me? Did Patrick have any enemies? Why didn't he remove his coat before getting a drink? Should I declare that a baseball bat was missing?
What if they found my fingerprints on the furniture? Can they prove that I was a murderer? Is this murder or manslaughter? It is manslaughter- I did not plan this. It is Patrick's fault for being so insensitive to me. What is going to happen to the baby when I am in jail? How will I face the baby when he asks about his father?
Enough, enough! Life without Patrick is just going to be fine.

Learning styles

Based on the circular chart, I think I am more interpersonal. I know myself quite well too, ie. intrapersonal. Definitely, I am not very nature smart.

In the past, my learning approach was to focus on taking notes when the teacher was talking. I seldom think out "loud", except when I was doing Math questions - so that I would not lose count of the numbers.

Now, music helps me relax, and puts me in the mood of studying and enables me to figure out the questions calmly. When I need help in my work, I will either ask my parents or go online to check for information. Most of the time, I like to work in pairs or a group, so that the job can be split and we can exchange ideas.

I also like to work and think quietly on my own, in order to concentrate. When it is noisy, I cannot focus and will tend to make more mistakes. Most of all, it is easy for me to learn about topics/subjects that interest me. I will absorb more when I work with my hands, such as science experiments and many more.
