Classwork update

Another productive week in class! Even though I was not here on Tuesday due to my AP exam, on Monday I was able to complete five poem emulations in class. Quite frankly these were my best so far so now I'm thinking deeply into how I would like to present my poems. I know I don't want to bore people with all my poems, but I'm still struggling with how to present them. I guess that's a thought for the next couple days.

Happy Mothers day!

A lot has been learned this week. I've learned even more so that for me to meet deadlines I have to be under the gun. I've completed two summarys even though I wanted to compete three this weekend :-( Anyways its still progress. I've also learned that I absolutely love spoken word poetry. I'm feeling inspired after watching a few poetry jam videos. So as far as the rest of my poetry goes that's what I plan on focusing on. Another idea I dabbled with today was perhaps trying to emulate my own poetry. An original poem of course, but to emulate my own work might me a cool touch.

It's Friday....Friday

So far this week has been a mildly productive one. To keep my organization as far as blog posts on track I've begun to blog from my phone. Currently I'm sitting in class without my computer, but still being productive in crafting this post. This week I've added another poem to my collection, and added two more JSTOR articles to the read collection. I'm still struggling very hard to collect the motivation to write the summarys on these, and this Sunday I will for sure being praying to God to help me. In short you could say I'm no longer letting Jesus take the wheel on this one because this one, although moving forward we're  swerving all over the road and quite frankly I'm questioning whether Jesus is a reliable driver on the Pagan Pliny bus.... I think they have some beef. Anyways my goals for this weekend are to get 3 summarys done and at least one poem more.

Notepad of thoughts from the last week which I posted on the wrong blog

People judging one another by the length of a page.
Lights on, shades down.
I could hear the slight hesitation in his words as interest met his fear in what i had to say.
The last chapter of an untold story who's words I'd been dying to hear.
It never ceases to amaze me how skepticism towards love can be washed away inside me by a single person each time we collide.
Its not fair to make someone care again then move on leaving a hurricanes destruction behind inside their heart.
You're poison. Words like those ring through my mind each time your breath intermingles with mine.
Endless hope begins to fill me with your delicate speech, briefly closing the gaps you left in my emotions before. I can feel again, but in the drop of a pin its gone. The soft clink of the metal tears me to shreds as it echoes away leaving me alone in silence. Destruction ensues leaving chaos so great. So silly how easily one small action is nearly capable of dragging me back down that dark cold hole i waited for you in.
You say goodbye and my feet dramatically teeter on the edge of a breakdown. I allowed myself to fall once, and once upon a time everything seemed perfect as my own ignorance created a smoke screen of magnificent beauty who's wispy tendrils spread through my heart staging a picture of utterly perfect happiness. And just like that my fear was forgotten as easily as an autumn leaf is blown from a tree in a chilly wind.

I haven't been able to put together a cohesive poem this week, but I do have a lot of ideas, but none that have come from emulation. Summarys have been hard and to be honest I haven't been keeping up in them. With motivation waning I have 4 backlogged articles waiting to be summarized.

Rush to the deadline

Upon completing my 3rd Jstor article on Friday night it never occurred to me to update my blog. So, a recap of this week: I was influenced to edit my project proposal, I started my collection of poems, and I also completed my third jstor article (link will be posted later, since I'm on my mobile) looking forward I must write my summary and continue my collection of poems. I'm very happy with my change in topic and I'm excited to see where it takes me. Side note: I've taken off one jstor article from my schedule to allow for my poems. Since I've rearranged my timeline and project my deadlines have been easier to meet. I spend my class time outlining my goals and finding my articles and poems for emulation. At night I complete what I planned in class. Overall everything is running smoothly.

The Start Of Something New

So I've begun my creative writing pieces. (link below) I will be updating in that Google Doc for the next three weeks. As of today I have three complete poems, but I still have yet to add the original text to the doc and format it. I'm really liking my project switch to include this creative piece. I've found my deadlines are being surpassed with the amount of work I've put out creatively, granted I still have yet to read my JSTOR article for this week. However I now have a refined presentation of Latin text from the stuff I've been translating in Latin class. (link is also below) Some people asked about the Latin in class for the Midterm presentation and I feel as if now there is some small excerpts the common person could understand. Today in class, i'll brush up my Latin presentation and over the weekend I will read and post my article summary.
