 Today we presented our cultural poems today which felt like they took forever and at the same time felt very short. It was interesting honestly because most people talked about where they came from and what their families have done for them like sacrifices. I feel like I almost have to cop out with my answers because I have no roots, no special celebrations that are exclusive to my culture. I usually just talk about my family because when we do self culture assignments that all that I feel I have. Anyway Today was a little boring we had a test in math but I finished early so I had a bit of time to kill.

 today we read a poem about a red wheelbarrow, I don't particularly remember the name but I remember the basic theme of simple tools can have deeper meanings. I don't really like poems when they rhyme I really like them but they feel a little too abstract for me sometimes. Anyway I had 3 kahoots in envi science and i won 2 of them and I got a candy but i gave it away because I don't really like eating candy especially chocolate candy.

 just to put the assignment out here

 Today we were tasked with writing a poem on our culture, And to be honest I do have some ideas but I feel like all of the poems I have read before are kind of messing with my ideas. I know that the poems we write can be freeform but 98% of the poems I have read in my life always rhymed so for some reason I feel like I have to make mine rhyme too, I'll probably just have to work with what ever I have got so we'll see how it goes. Aside from that nothing really happened today although I was trying to go to gym today and there was a fight right outside of the entrance to the gym, I don't really know why they were fighting and I also don't really know who they were but I just think thats because I usually like to mind my business, but that's all anyway.

 

 Today we tried to finish fences but we got caught on the last act and we didn't have enough time to finish. It's interesting to see how life is going down hill for Troy when it seems to really be all his fault. Like he cheated and had a child but Alberta died and she was someone who he greatly enjoyed talking and laughing with and his wife dont want to be with him anymore. He also kicked his kid out and he also hates his job cause he feels like he's got nobody to talk to. His sad life is all his outcome of being rude and treating everybody else lie they don't understand him.

 Today we presented our characterization posters which I thought would be a lote faster than it was. I honestly would have preferred to go first but we ended up going last. It was interesting to see how other people interpreted the characteristics of the people in fences, because they did say somethings that I never really thought of. I do always enjoy doing presentations because they're so genuinely so easy, all you have to do is talk. Also I just finished Fahrenheit 451 which I'd say is a very good read, and I'm happy because like 4 month ago I hadn't read a book in years. And now I have read like 3 books in a few weeks and I have three more waiting so I'm eagerly anticipating getting to read all of those books.

 Today we did the same thing that we did yesterday but we did actually finish it this time. I mean we didn't really do anything different than yesterday, so Im not really sure what I should talk about. The only thing that really happened today of note was a won a game in environmental science, but it was a lot closer than i would have liked and im am actually a pretty competitive person believe it or not. But yeah thats all I really wanted to talk about.
