Sorry!

Sorry for the delay, it was the last week of school before February vacation and the week was very hectic.  With last minute tests, trying to do all my work and I went on a field trip on Thursday. 
      I meant to write about this Thursday night but my parents were at a wake and I was staying with my cousins, so I didn't really have the time to post.  The field trip I went on was for my Shakespeare class (an AMAZING class really!) and we went to see the play Cymbeline, by William Shakespeare.  It was put on the the Actors Shakespeare Project, and it was quite an amazing show to watch. 
     It was held in a small store front theater, they had little lighting besides some work lamps and their stage was a few rugs on the ground surrounded by chairs.  The actors wore plain white shirts and white pants and had small white scarves.  Most of the actors played more then one character so the scarves allowed them to change characters easily.  They also used their musical instruments as props.  They would use a rain stick as a sword and a music box as a potion bottle.  It was quite entertaining to watch. 
     Another reason why I didn't post over the weekend was because I came down with the flu.  How much does that suck? So it is the first real day of vacation and I'm stuck in bed with the flu.  But, at least now I have time to read all the books that piled up during my school days.  So far I've read two whole books since last night - I know not a big feat but I'm exhausted. 
      However I'm not just reading, yesterday I had a hit of inspiration for a small poem. 

No one sees me standing here

The setting swallows me whole

As people keep walking by

I just look up towards the sky

Hoping and praying

That my life will end

So that God will finally save me

From who everyone else wants me to be

But judgement day still hasn't come

And I'm still sitting in the shadows

And people pass me by

While I lift my head up towards the sky.

     I know a little darker then what I wanted it to be, but hey, it just flows.
     So I'll be going back to my books, apple juice and tea, and making my one thousand paper cranes!  

     Again sorry for the delay, once I get better I will update more. I promise. Until then . . .
