CLASS:
In class this week we read lots of great examples of showing not telling to help us with our memoirs. I think this helped put it into perspective a little bit better for me. I want to try and use themes in my essay but am struggling with that also i really like the idea of juxta position so last night i went in and spend thirty minutes trying to find a good place for it and even though its small i think i got it. I really loved the book the glass castle so i actually went to barnes and noble and bought it again to read and now im on a reading kick again. I get in these phases where i read like six books in a week and a half. Anyway back on topic, I also need to work on making my I's capital on here because it does not do it automatically which is hard.
HOME:
I went to go visit my friends at my old school this weekend. It was the perfect fall weather that I remembered and their new house has a forrest in the back that we hiked through. The leaves have already completely changed color in upstate new york and it was gorgeous. or like we all say up there "Ithaca is gorges" We went to apple fest which is a huge festival where they sell everything apple you can imagine! Its amazing!!! then we went to go see gone girl at the movies which i actually really did not enjoy at all. It seemed dragged out but all my friends loved it. On the way home from the movies I got pulled over going 66 in a 40... So now I have to go back for court. But hey there is always a silver lining I get to see my friends again!! Going out that night was so much fun I got to catch up with everyone and missed, but also i realized why I am not there anymore. Its hard because I miss my friends so much but leaving was a great choice I am not responsible when I am there and i needed to focus alot more on school. The next morning we went to the famous farmers market and ate cambodian food on the dock over looking lake cayuga. It was a perfect weekend and it is so great to know that even though I am not there my friends and I will be close forever.
I guess i should update on my sister aswell. I went to the grave for the first time in way too long adn my first time along. I texted her a picture of this creepy figurine someone left which happens pretty frequently and she called me and we laughed about how it was probably our cousin harmony. I laid down next to the tombstone and talked with kristen for about an hour, not necessarily all about dad but just life and it was kind of nice to have her there with me in a sense. Then some guy came and yelled at me because they were closed... oops.
