The groove is starting to take hold, wake up, shower, get to school, survive, go to practice, and go home to play PubG. The circle of highschool life, but rarely in there is the time, or really want, to do homework and just rest. Of course I keep up with assignments, but falling behind is easy, so I have to keep my nose to the grindstone and keep going til five years from now when i’m out of school, and I get to be put through the meat grinder instead, fun. And so with that you can understand where i’m coming from when I talk about what we’ve learned in this week’s class, and to be completely honest it’s a lot harder to put into words than say mathematics, ironic. We get better at reading, and we get better at writing, but what exact segment of the getting better constitutes a learned experience? I suppose something learned in english is more like a tip then, a subtle reminder to remember to look for deeper meaning, such as the visual metaphor posters, man did I have to do some soul searching to pull that stuff out of my head and put it into words. We did the puzzle board, with symbols (because you have looked at so many of them I assume) and symbolism I believe is so very often just little hints and abstract that you can go off the rails in conspiracy before you realize that the river is just a metaphor for crossing over, and not the blue is representative of the blue eyed giant in The Game Of Thrones, who gave birth to the world. I suppose we learned to take that wall of pictures, and words with yarn connecting them all in a tangled mess, straighten them out, and speak them in a coherent way, I think that’s a pretty useful skill even if that’s not exactly what the task was designed to do.
