 Today we looked over a new poem. The new poem is called ¨Constantly Risking Absurdity¨. We split the paper and have and named it ¨poet¨. On the poet side we took notes and broke down the poem. We did that to understand the meaning.

 

 

 We were supposed to write 7 paragraphs today but we didn’t. Instead we looked at another poem. The poem was by Robert Frost. The name was “Birches”. The theme is not to grow up too fast. For example, being young and doing grown up things.

 Today in class we took a little bit of notes about ¨out out¨ by Robert Frost. He grew up in a road area where there was barely any people around. One of his famously said is, ¨ A poem is supposed to take on a life of its own¨. All his poems were free verse as well. One of the themes for the poem out out is that you shouldn't rush your childhood.

 During class we were doing an assignment. We read the same 2 passages. We had to find about 4 claims in the passage and define the words. Overall it was easy and I ended up finishing it. One passage was explaining on why having drive less cars is a good thing, while the other passage doesnt agree at all.

On my birthday, my mom has gotten me a cake. She had listened to how I wanted the cake. She had ordered the cake and by the time we went to pick it up, I didnt like it. I sound ungrateful but the cake was not identical to the picture at all. It looked like a kid drew it.

I dont think any secret has been kept from me. If there was secrets, I end up finding out. Im not sure how but Im just kind of good at finding out things. I just listen and look at the clues and pay close attention.  

 I cant deny that Im a bit slow. My boyfriend would joke around how ¨slow¨ I am. Between me and him its a way of showing affection. Me and him have our own little humor and nicknames for each other. I cant deny it though because maybe I am just a bit slow.

 The old me used to obsess about popularity. How many friends I had. Whether I was known on instagram or not and it was so meaningless. Popularity and having a lot of friends dont mean nothing. I learned that having a few are enough in life.

 My grades are the main things that arent getting better. No matter how much effort I put in, it barely works. Im currently in the 70s or below. Thats not very good for me. I plan on keep trying though because I dont want to give up just yet.

 After high school, I've made up my mind on what I want to major in. I want to major in cosmetology because currently im taking cosmetology at crosskeys. I've realized my passion for the class and its something I would want to do. I plan on continuing being friends with my close friends too. I also hope the guy Im currently with will end up being my highschool sweetheart.

 Not too long ago I ordered a pair of shoes. They were the one star converse. They were one of the shoes ive been wanting for a while. After I finally got money, I ordered them. By the time they came I was so excited but turns out they were a little small. I still wear them but I regret not getting a bigger size.

 If Im ever in class, sometimes I regret not asking questions. I act like I know something when in reality I dont. I feel embarrassed to ask in front of the whole class. I dont want to ask my peers either because I feel too embarrassed as well. But hopefully soon I wont be so I can actually learn.

 My 5th grade teacher was really nice. I wasn´t with her in the beginning of the school year but I got transferred to her classroom. I loved her teaching skills. Ever since I got into middle school, I havent seen her ever since. My memories of her are kind of blurry but I still wonder how she´s doing.

 Have you ever seen those rides at the fair where they go all around? Yea Im talking about that. I remember getting on the ride with my older brother because he kept pushing to get on the ride. By the time we got on I knew it was over and too late to get off. After that ride, I´m never getting on the rides that go all around again.

Each class Im in I dont have any fun. Maybe sometimes but thats rare. The classrooms are always so cold and some of them stink. I just sit in class not talking to anyone. Which is maybe why I had no fun but also a good thing because I dont play around.

Even if my grades aren't as good right now, Im certain of passing everything soon. So far i´ve been struggling but ive been putting in the effort. If I keep this up, then soon i´ll at least have a C for each class. If not, maybe higher. Im certain my grades will be alright by the end of the semester.

 I want to thank my own mom for everything. Shes been both parents for years. She works so hard everyday supporting us and putting us first. I appreciate her everyday, for all the hard work. Since her birthday is coming up, I bought her a ticket to a concert because she deserves it.

 Back in middle school I had the biggest crush. This was a childish crush but funny. I remember this one guy kepy asking me who I liked. With courage I had told him that it was his friend. The next day, everyone knew and even him.

 I want to apologize for the people I have ghosted. During sophomore year I had talked to everyone and be friended everyone. I was a really nice kid then when summer hit, I ghosted a lot. I was focused on work and didnt bother checking up on my ¨friends¨. Now, my junior year, I only have a few friends. I dont mind at all though, Im happy still with the fewer friends I have left.

 When I was younger, a family friend had taught me and my brothers how to ride a bike. First with training wheels, then with none. He would grab us to be steady and let us go ride by ourselves. This was during elementary and it's been years after that. So now I dont remember how to ride a bike.

 There was this one time I was taking a math test. I had studied before. I thought I knew mostly everything, the important things. When I received the test I had completely gone blank and suddenly didn't know anything. I ended up not remembering anything so I ended up failing the test.

 I always push myself and try my hardest. Ever since the 5 days I worked, my grades are really low. Currently failing 2 classes, barely passing the other 2. 2 months are in and I´m low, and I´m in trouble. Since the beginning of school and now I´m still in trouble. I´ve been trying my best to catch up and I won´t stop till I do.

 I have too much love for others. I care and love others but I don ´ t really receive the same back. I don ´ t really care but at the same time I do. I just want to keep a few close and push others away. All I need in life is my few friends and my lover.

  On October 27, 2016, the most precious person was born. My youngest brother Angel. Currently he is a first grader which makes me sad because he ´ s growing up. Even if he annoys me, I still love him. He will always be my little baby no matter how grown he is.

 There was this one time I had pulled up to church with sorta inappropriate clothes. I ´ m catholic and I went to church with ripped jeans and a crop top. When I was there people kept staring. I don ´ t blame them because of what I was wearing. The next time I go, I plan on wearing something for the occasion.

 Today during class we were all reviewing our notes that we took Friday. On Friday we took notes on argument. We were reading 2 passages all together. Soon we will start doing our own arguments.
