Spanish Poetry Is Not Fun

[cleansedraven]

You know, I always hated that one part of English class where we had to read, study, write, and analyze poetry. I like to read and write poetry, but I don't like to analyze them and write a paragraph about it. Shakespearean sonnets were also not my good friends

hmmm....i wonder if we're going to do that when i get to AP Spanish. might be a headsup for me. I hate analyzing things, but i love to read. I think that analyzing literature just kills the sole purpose of reading, but i guess it teaches you to think about things.

I completely know what you are talking about, because i've been there too! When i immigrated here, i didn't know anybody, so i highly depended on my "friends". Even though i knew they didn't really want me there, but i didn't know anybody else, and i didn't know where to go. So i was in that situation from fourth grade until the end of 8th grade, when i went to a different high school than everybody else.

I'm still kinda in that situation today, but i'm more independent now. If I don't feel like going to the people i hang out with, then i don't. I no longer think that going to them is the only choice i have. I am totally comfortable with spending the whole day by myself. A lot of times they would come to me to ask me to help them with homework or something, but otherwise they usually ignore me, even if we pass each other in the hall. So unless they make the move first, i keep to myself. I find that this is much better than forcing myself to make others happy and make myself miserable.

I believe it too!!!

Oooh, you're gonna take AP Spanish??

Haha, yeah! I love reading, and analyzing- on my terms. XD But yes, it does tech you to look at things another way.

Awww, that sucks. :| At least you don't have to deal with them now, I think.

Whoo! Independence! XD Yeah, I'm one those people who likes being in their own company- needs it even. Every now and then. :) I met new people and we have been friends since the latter half of my freshman year. They're great and have been nice, but there's always something... and apart from that, sometimes I wish I could spend some time alone or do something alone every once in a while without them thinking something is wrong or appearing mean.

I admire your skills and feelings in the situation. :) That's a very good way, wise, even, to handle it. ^_^

Awesome! :D

yah, i'm gonna take Honors this year, and then during my senior year i'm taking AP.

ya, even though sometimes we talk online and they tell me to call them, i know that they don't really mean it, so i don't talk to them.

same here!! sometimes it's easier to be alone because you don't have to take care of other people and you can do things on your own terms. but other times i like groups because then i don't have to do as much work, and we can share ideas that i would never have thought of.

Thanks!

Wow, I wish you good luck! :D

Yeah, that's one thing I find very... not cool. Like, they tell you to your face that you're "the best friend I've ever had! I hope we're friends forever!" but they don't mean it at all, or act like it. It's very sad.

Cool! That basically sums up my feelings, too. XD Haha.

You're very welcome!

thanks!

ya, that's why i don't really trust the people i hang out with now. There's not telling what they really mean...

hehe...

[cleansedraven]

You're welcome! :D

I see. Ah, so true... XD
