This first week i learned what to expect from AP Literature as a class. When we get into groups to discuss a poem, or writing I really enjoy hearing some of the more profound thoughts from my classmates. When I hear them it kind of pushes my competitive nature in a certain way (not saying that there's a better, or best answer), but it makes me want to answer a question in a thorough way so that I don't sound like i'm trying to be a try hard profound amateur poet. Along with that I don't mind over analyzing these poems, surprisingly, I thought it'd be mind numbing but when I try to really look for a pattern, it can be fun. Which really got me thinking about how I view what I am better at, often times if you're accomplished at an activity the first time, or tend towards a subject because it's easy, people tend to reaffirm that choice to work at what you're good at, and ignore what you aren't. I have always been good with the sciences, not because I am above every other student in intelligence, only that my interests are almost always involved heavily in the sciences, so I never thought of myself as a writer or being able to be poetic; possibly by the end of the year I may be quite the poet, writing about building roads and the all soul consuming black hole at the center of our galaxy. Oh yea here's a super hopeful video about the supermassive blackhole in our galaxy.
