Well first of all I'm sorry I've been gone for so long!! Spring Break was just very pleasant, a lot of laid back days for sure.... but it's back to school and back to WISE!!!
Today in class we read a FROST poem.... Robert Frost you know the guy? He's literally my favorite poet.... prolly cause my dad loves him too, and Mr Armstrong, how could anyone not like Frost??
Also I must say, I haven't heard very many people who can read poetry better than Mrs. Gergely.. like seriously, it sounds a million times better coming from her, then when I try and read it again.
The parts that stook out to me the most were the parts when the man spoke of his appreciation for what he was doing. He says "These two must make me love it more By coming with what they came to ask." I think that that's really important. It always seems like people are telling me, you should really appreciate this time, and not take it for granted, because some day you'll want it back. And I always try to savor moments in the moment, to make it last longer, but there really isn't a way to make a moment longer.. only to appreciate it while it's happening. That's in my everyday life too but I realize I need to put that appreciation into my project. This time that I currently have is so precious! I need to accomplish something with it! Or else I've wasted it. I'm having trouble loving what I'm doing, but I also understand Mrs. Gergely's advice, of really indulging into it full force, becoming surrounded by work and being happy that I've found work to do!
I think that's going to be my goal, to find work, and enough of it to feel like I've been doing things (like when I had my class)
also the lines "My object in living is to unite my avocation and my vocation as my two eyes make one in sight." I MEAN IS HE NOT A GENIUS OR WHAT.
maybe I should try and write poems as good as him for my wise project..... hahahaha I'd be sure to fail!
Anyways, that line, not only makes me think about my future and my career choice, but just my daily choices. I shouldn't do things I don't love! Naive as that is, for I know we must all do things we don't like at some point or another, I want to focus more of my energy around the things that make me happy and fulfilled, for that is what living to the full extent is.
Well I've deffinitely managed to ramble on and on, nonsense I'm sure... but it feels good. To think! I miss English class :( I've always felt English class opened doors in my mind that led me to live a better life. Really! The things we read and how we interpret them and how we chose to let what we interpret affect us, that is truly awesome. And I miss that :((((((
P.S. I'm sorry for the gramatical errors Mrs. Gergely..... I don't miss that part of english hehehe :)
Thanks for the kind words, Emma. It might be true that flattery gets you everywhere!
