College Days

I created this particular Blog for an assignment in an English course. I only keep it because it was a fun class that inspired to create a blog about my life and not just about what was studied in class. I never really get on this blog and the title is deceptive about its contents. So check out my actual blog My Life in all its Wierdness. Follow me on Instagram and Twitter. :)

I read the creative non-fiction Driving Lessons by Karen K. Lewis at literarymama.com. I liked the creative non fiction because the woman was teaching her son to drive which allowed her to look back on her relationship with her father and her duties as a parent.I like the title of the work because it summarizes these two concepts of literally teaching her son and metaphorically reflecting on one's life and soul.

The song Carmen reminds me of the story Innocent Erendira. Actually Lana Del Rey entire album entitled Born to Die was fascinating to listen to with all of the books we've read. Several of her songs contributed to the overall affect a particular work had on me. Her tragic love songs really captured the end of Rhinoceros and Baron in the Trees. Her song Without You reminds me of Cosimo and Viola.I highly recommend listening to this album while reading these books or any book  of your choice:)

I read  "Why Don't you Dance?" because I was in the mood to laugh. At first I thought the man was kicked out by his wife therefore relocating himself and his stuff to the front yard.Then I wondered if it really was a yard sale or his actual living arrangements.Anyways despite my minor confusions I thought the story was cute,weird, and surprising.

I took this pic last week at Stars.It was closing night of Evita and the cast hung out in the lounge after the show.This pic reminds me of the scene in Innocent Erendira where her grandmother dolls her up to attract customers.

Rhinoceros

Rhino-I usually am a rhino. I tend to not speak up and be a leader. However, I will  step up if I have to.Currently, there is a huge conflict going on in my life and instead of doing the "right" thing I am watching the incident  unfold and sticking with the majority.


Berenger- A year ago when I was a senior at North High I expressed Berenger-esque qualities. For our spring play our teacher wanted to do a show that noone wanted to do.So I spoke up for the class by speaking to him respectfully and eventually by having them sign a petition ( for proof I wasn't alone) and writing a letter to our teacher.

I just thought I'd add the link to my song choice:)
