Update on Life
So, I suppose I've disappeared lately.
My reason is...
I'm working and school. My job is going really well...but I am beat once I get home. Standing on my feet for six-eight hours is not very fun...apparently. I get fantastic tips though since I work in the cafe and I've met some amazing customers.
I'm just a tiny bit sad and sore though...but other than that...just super busy.
My mom got married. One of the reasons was for medical, her husband has throat and mouth cancer and he had major surgery to remove most of it. Unfortunately, he can't eat or swollow, they took 3/4s of his tongue, and you can hardly understand him. He has a trake in his throat so he can breath. After Christmas, they want to do chemo and possibly radiation. He's doing really well...but it's really stressful. I'm glad he's healing though. At one point before the surgery, he weighed 116 pounds and he's slowly regaining some weight. He hasn't eaten solid food in three months.
Other than that I've been taking classes, mainly Shakespeare and we needed to write an entire sonnet.
Here's mine:
I was given a 100, and my average grade was around 98%. This was a year above what I was supposed to be taking, so I was really happy. ;) We've gone through Macbeth, Julius Caesar, and A Midsummer Night's Dream. All of them we've had to act out a scene, write essays, tests, and vocabulary. The scenes are fantastic to do, by the way! For one of my scenes I needed to do, it was when Macbeth and Lady Macbeth murder Duncan. Gorgeous scene and I played Macbeth! My teacher said I had given them chills!
Anyway, I hope you all are going to enjoy your holidays!
Opposing Forces
The Hero, cloaked with darkness and light
Aware their betraying natures resound
The Villain, wrapped with sinister might
Fire roaring and with wicked dreams abound
Weighted down, his weakness will be a muse
Molded into darkness, he’ll be trusted
His teeth smiling and eyes gleaming, the ruse
Ruin’s weapon decayed and rusted.
The struggles between forces, languished
They circled, swerved, and they danced
The dying roared and laid vanquished
The victor arose, prevailing by chance
Ambiguous mirth, a delightful song
Laced with sorrow, a cry endures on.
