Prompt 20

I planned to go to a good college. It is most likely not going to work out, at leadt how I planned it would. Part laziness, part pure apathy towards my studies, and part wanting to have fun just put me too far off course to achieve what I originally wanted. Though things aren't over yet, While I might not be able to go straight fo a university like GA Tech, I can always fmtransfer in from another college. All I really want is to not have to pay too much for college, especially now that student loan forgiveness doesn't exist anymore.

Episode 2

We began reading and analyzing Langston Hughes' poem "The Negro Speaks of Rivers" in class. The poem really struck me because of the fact it was so short yet encompassed such a large chunk of history. I'm not much of a history buff or a fan of social sciences in general, but learning about African American history always gets me a bit excited because of how deep it really goes. I personally think Langston Hughes' use of rivers as a symbol of the black race's history was perfect and him tying it back to tje depth of his soul, his history, and his lineage is something I think every black person should realize. A solid 9.5 out of 10 poem in my book, the only reason I won't give it a 10 is because I might find something later that beats this.

Episode 6

Today we had a sub. She was pretty chill and we got a worksheet to do about "Mother to Son." I had trouble with the question about a complex account and couldn't even find the answer after searching it up. Regardless I answered it anyways so I'm hoping I got it right even by chance. Otherwise today was a good day and "Mother to Son" was a solid 9/10 with a good theme and good general advice for life. Haiku: From mother to son Years of advice she gave him New chapter in life

Episode 1

Today in class we covered a brief overview of African American culture and history. Heard some familiar names, some familiar dates, and some stereotypes and true qualities of the community. The only problem is that, like always, I feel torn. I can't really associate myself with the African American community coming from a family where I'm the first generation born in America, the experience feels too different, I feel too different. I'm too Ethiopian to be African American, and I'm too American to be Ethiopian, its almost like a Limbo I've been damned to for the rest of my life.  Haiku: To be is to be To be not is to be not The rest I forgot
