(no subject)
today was alright :-D!
i studied with a few people for evolution and whatnot, and then i tutored a student in spanish. a lot of things are kind of off the wall in life right now. most of my friends are not here, but i like the people im around and that's enough for what it is. being at northern michigan makes me feel a way i havent felt in awhile. i feel adequate. i have a cool job that people appreciate me in. i dont have to make excuses for bad grades because i can focus for once and get really good grades.
tonight i went sledding with tracie and it was pretty sweet! afterward we went to the coffee cup. it happened to be poetry night. that was kind of entertaining. i like poetry, but i didnt like this poetry. to me good poetry comes from someone that is modest. a lot of poets, even well-known ones, dont seem modest at all.
i just think it's really shallow to write for the purpose of being deep. there is no definite way to know if someone is deep or just hoping to be deep, but what's so great about being deep? there are patterns when people are acting fake. take telemarketers.
i really liked one poem about how this boy felt at religious ceremonies, which was strange since he was probably my polar opposite as far as faith goes. he just seemed real.
it's okay to express how you feel, everyone would agree with that. some of the poets seemed like they sat down to express how someone would feel if they actually were sad, happy, depressed, quirky, not that they themselves felt that way. they were like actors.
some of the coolest poetry seems to be written by complete amateurs. people that havent read enough poetry or taken poetry seriously enough to know what a "good poem" is. instead they write exactly how they feel because they have no one to model themselves off of.
in any case, i love science. study groups for science classes tend to be really fun.
