A place I never wanted to leave was today when I was in bed. I dropped my mom off at work and decided to sleep before I had to go to school. I ended up sleeping until 12pm, which is when 5th period starts. I was so sleepy and tired as I had a concert yesterday. But, I sucked it up and got out of bed to come to school today. Today, we learned about India Culture, watching videos over customs and traditions such as eating with their hands or wobbling their head when speaking. I found it fascinating, as things like that are present in Western culture, showing how different parts of the world can be as well as the cultural differences between us and them. Today, I feel tired. I wish I would have stayed home and slept the whole day, but I have to work so I can get into the college I want to go to.
An object that holds a lot of value to me is my Legos. They were gifted or bought during significant points in my life, building them after each event. They remind me of the good times/memories every time I look at them, thinking of each block as building the memory, or the Lego set in this case. Today, we continued our reading of The Color Purple by Alice Walker. We read 3 chapters today, learning about Sofia's return to the story and her eventual incarceration due to her beliefs and nature. It was interesting to see the reminder of the consequences the characters can face, bringing down such a strong-willed character like Sofia. It also showed us why Celie and Squeak's, Harpo's girlfriend, obedience is beneficial to them in some way. Today, I feel tired. I pulled an all-nighter and still have to go to a practice and then teach 8th graders and drop people off afterwards. I know the sleep is going to be good later tonight.
