Giving up up my rut was okay because I was till cursing but not as much. it was kind of hard because I kept forgetting that I had to do this for a school assignment. Also some of my friends kept making me mad, and when I get mad I tend to curse. When I gave up my rut it had a positive effect in my life. It had a positive effect in my life because I found other words that I could use to express my feelings. It also kind of had a negative effect on me because sometimes I would forget that this was for a transfer task. Yes, my life was simplified  just a little because it felt better that I could go a week without cursing.  When we had to give up a rut it became an experiment because “All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better” (Emmerson). This means if you wanna try something different go for it because you may never know how your life is gonna turn out after you experiment.
