Chapter I: Give an example or two about situations in which you are "...attending to universal issues and withdrawing...attention from the stream of immediate sense experiences" (Lewis, 2).
There was this one time where I was supposed to be doing my laundry. I had everything ready to be put into the washing machine. However, before I could go down the stairs, I somehow got distracted and ended up sitting in front of my computer for about an hour. And the basket of laundry was just sitting next to me on my worktable.

Chapter II: What do you think about the following quote? "The Enemy allows this disappointment to occur on the threshold of every human endeavour" (Lewis, 7).
I think that this quote is saying that the enemy (God) lets bad things occur to a person. Although He has the power to control everything, He allows evil to happen to people in order to teach them a lesson and draw them closer to Him. He wants them to turn to Him through these trials. However, this does not always happen right away and could even further the distance between God and man if the heart is hardened.
Chapter II: What are your thoughts on church? Is it something you “do” every week?
I think that church is very important. A church can be a physical building. However, I think a more accurate description would be a gathering of God loving people that want to learn more about God and worship Him. I do go to church every Sunday morning. However, since it is the morning, I'm not entirely focused and awake.

Chapter III: What are your "daily pinpricks" (Lewis, 11)?
I still find the microwave beeping annoying. I also can't stand it when my cats get into my stuff and messes things up. One of my cats is able to somehow get into my closet and sleep on my clothes and leaves cat hair everywhere. Another one, which lives outside, likes to climb on my car and sleeps on the roof. That's alright with me, but the part that bothers me is that I find tiny paw prints on my windshield. And to make it worse, they are in the corner where the wipers don't reach!
Chapter III: Give an example or two of situations in which you have neglected the obvious (Lewis, 12).
I once had to drive to school at around 6 in the morning for robotics. I was tired since it was early, so I parked my car and didn't realize that I left my headlights on. I didn't realize that I did this until 6 hours later when I went to take a quick nap. And I didn't even realize that my car battery was dead until I tried to turn on my car to check the time. Thankfully my dad was there to jump start my car. And I was also almost out of gas so it was kind of worrisome driving home.
