Meet Bobert Bartholomew II

Why?Idk. My friends and I created him last period of the day

On A Possible Disaster in the Making

so i'm trying to decide if this whole 5 APs thing is going to work because i really was not planning on taking all five because i assumed two would conflict but they don't but i like them all but i also like my sanity

between econ, calc, lit, gov and bio i like bio least, but i need a science so i'd really like to drop lit because it is obnoxious but if i were sensible i would drop econ but it's fun

i feel like money is something i should be required to understand way better than i do, ya know?

On Poetry Analysis

So here's the thing

I'm trying really hard to not become one of those people who's "just not a lit person" but i keep having serious issues being happy in english classes

and a large portion of that is I just can't take the idea of coming to conclusions through a series of jumps that aren't really that clear and then taking the words and feelings and deciding what stuff is about (incorrectly)

I'd so much rather just read it, ponder, and /not try to figure out whatever the author meant it to be./

but to be honest the worst is probably the people who are getting up in front of the class and pronouncing that they have cleverly deduced the intricate meaning of the following poem and proceed to enlightened all of us poor ignorant souls

I feel like I need someone to defend poetry, it's purpose, it's use, and it's enjoyment to me. Because I feel like I'm missing stuff. I just want to read (preferably not poetry, but i'm not picky right now).
