New Book

We got a new book this week titled Nectar in a Sieve. This first post is going to elaborate upon the natural disasters or how people are affected in the book. The monsoon comes in the book at around chapter 5-6 or something like that. The monsoon comes in and literally destroys everything. I find it quite interesting that despite the monsoon and the destruction good things can happen. As Ruku and Nathan break the dams around the rice paddy she recalls,

"When the water was all gone, there they were caught in the meshes and among the paddy, shoals of them leaping madly, wet and silver and good to look upon" (Markandaya 44).

Good things happen to us if we keep our faith up and believe that things will turn out for the better. As long as we find things to be grateful for everyday then we find that life is good, and we are blessed. That is what this passage means to me. Life is good.

Shakespeare

I love Shakespeare. I've always loved his language, his sense of humor and how entertaining he is. My favorite play is Romeo and Juliet. This new play we're reading in english is A Midsummer Night's Dream which is really funny and has many twists and turns. Very well written. I am working hard in school this last week before finals so I can get all of my stuff back. Not much else. Haven't been reading much. Maybe I should get to that.

It's been awhile

Been gone awhile. I was busy during Winter Break, rocking out on my new Laguna Guitar and my Line 6 Spider III 15 amp. Been practicing Stairway to Heaven for about a month and its getting solidified in my head. Started a new unit in English. Midsummer Night's Dream. I really love Shakespeare. It's just really funny. I'm really busy with getting my grades up. If I can get a B+ average in all six of my classes I can get my phone, mp3, facebook, and socializing back plus I get signed up for Driver's Ed. With my A in Chem. I can have no lower than a B- in another class with my other four B+'s and I'll make it. It's kind of a strategy game almost. That's the news.
