 Woohoo second semester!! Woohoo 114 days left of being a senior... It feels like it was just yesterday that I started my final year in high school, yet after each day passes we are getting closer and closer to graduation.  In just a few months I will turn 18 and teenage life will creep into adulthood as college gets closer.  That thought has been sitting at the back of my mind and every time it pops up I realize how close that idea is to becoming my new reality. It's scary. I don't blame anyone anxious to start their life anew.  The truth is that we are not the same people we were at the beginning of the year, i am even saying we are not even the same as 4 years ago. In the time that has passed, I will focus on the changes that have been made during the first semester of this year. The beginning of the first semester was stressful. Letter of recomandiotns and letters that you have to complete before the first deadline. It's hard really to focus on other things like ...

 Why I don't like Tragedy.  I can with ease say that I don't like tragedy.  In any way.  Perhaps I might elaborate that i don't like Shakespeare's tragedies.  English class after English class, play after play, I more and more realize that tragedies are not for me. After reading Romeo and Juliet I realized that if all play was based on both delulu people who in the end die because of the lack of communication then I dont want to read it. But every year we revisit the world of Shakespeare and his wonderful tragedies to analyze people like the tragedy of  Othello, Romeo and Juliet, and many more.  So, what exactly I do not like about these plays.  Why are they all based on love? Who broke Shakespeare's heart and made him a monster who would kill couples brutally. One choked his wife because of his honor and then proceeded to stab himself, and two delulu teenagers drank poison because they were so in love. But every play we read was based on the love...

 Help me!!! I have two voices in my head. There are two points of view in my brain. Many of us have voices in our brains. I hope so because I am not trying to win a ticket to the mental institution.   For me, at least, I have commentary in my brain: one narrates everything from the first point of view, and the second describes everything from the second point of view. Let me explain.   Let us say there is a hypothetical situation. I am in Paris, walking somewhere, and in my head, I say, "I need to get to this cafe." I am narrating the first point because I need to do it. It's like an unimportant goal, just like a reminder. But then, for example, I would have friends in that cafe. Now, my narration would be, "YOU need to get to the cafe on time, or else they will see YOU as irresponsible and incapable of managing YOUr time." Now, the narration of that second point is more stressful and aggressive.  Sometimes, my second point of view is stronger than my first poin...

 Koda the complex character of a dog  Dogs are the most prominent companions of humankind. They can be fluffy, short-furred, long-furred, curly-furred, big, small, pricked up ears hanging ears, long legs, short legs, long fluffy tails, skinny tails, different color dogs. A particular dog that I am talking about is Koda. She is a cream-white, short-furred dog with a grey-black nose and paws. She is only a couple of months old. For a surface-level cute puppy, what many people do not realize is that dogs will improve lives. Yes, you heard me right: the puppy will enhance someone's life by helping them with coordination if they are visually impaired. On a surface level, a fun puppy that sleeps goofy on her back and paws up will occasionally lightly bite you because of her teething. Sometimes, She will approach you and put her head in a way so you can pet her. The same puppy will lead the person in need, behind the cuteness, the loyal companion that will help their owner in need. B...

 Face it we all didn't meet the reading goal.  Or maybe it's just me.  Throughout the week we have talked about meeting our goal to read at least 2 hours a week. But let's just face it, most of us are either near the end or not only halfway done with the book.  Personally, I am going to rat myself out on this one but I am halfway finished with my book, don't get me wrong I absolutely love the book and I love the author who wrote the book, but I just haven't had time to sit down and enjoy the book as much as I want to. I don't like rushing through the book so when I found out about the deadline I was kinda iffy about being able to finish the book. I could either finish the book by spending all night reading or b read another new book parallelly to what I am reading now, but that would require me to go to the library and check the book again. Overall reading a book 2 hours a day seemed like an easy task, but that was not the case. I found myself to be exhausted to...

 Why festival rides do make me think of books? This thought came to me when I was hanging upside down on the famous fireball ride at Troy Daze.  When I went to Troy Daze (on Saturday aka yesterday) I was very nervous and scared because I hadn't yet written my blog and had no idea what to write. So as I was standing in line for this ride called Fireball, it was not exactly a rollercoaster but it was close to it. The ride process is going in a big circle that speeds up and goes in a loop and backward and then forward and it keeps repeating in that same pattern. So why exactly did this ride make me think of books and English. Well, the process to be exact. You see when you read you go through five stages of grief and happiness just like with rides.  Stage one: You choose a ride. Like you choose a book. You choose by how the ride looks, the appeals of it like the lights and what people are saying about it, what are the emotions of people who went. Just like with the book you ...

 Catch up day Wohoo SO... Yay, we are back to blogging, I missed this so much. Anyways, let's talk. "Know my name" is a book that I am currently reading. The reason I chose this book is because of my curiosity about the American court system and how society really is.  When I was reading this book I experienced sadness, anger, and concern for how society so hypocritically reacts and blames blindly without actually knowing the reason. In the book, the main character gets sexually assaulted by a college student. Chanel miller was unconscious when that happened, when the police report was posted on social media, many of us would believe that after this awful event people would support Chanel. But, not everything is rainbows and sunshine, in fact, it was quite the opposite, the people were defending the assaulter, yeah, you heard me right they WERE TAKING HIS SIDE like I don't understand sometimes, all the evidence was pointing out that this dude who doesn't even dese...
