Thursday morning, the sun was shining, not too cold out, and it was about nine o'clock. There was still a layer of snow covering the ground but you could tell that it was slowly melting away. My mom entered my room waking me up for school as she does every day. I kept telling her and myself that i just needed five more minutes, over and over again, which before i knew it turned into a half hour. She was getting frustrated as i kept lying to both of us, but for some reason I just didn't have it in me to drag myself from the messy warm covers and deflated pillows that i had laid in all night. I'm not going to lie getting up has always been a struggle for me, but this time felt as if it was impossible.
In class this week we talked about context and subtext, bonding exercises, Readings such as summaries and round table, process, secrets and critique, and we did an activity called eyes wide shut. I really liked the bonding exercises, I thought it was cool how we go to learn secrets about one another. We had to match each other up with the secret we thought would be theirs. It was interesting to see how wrong we could be about some people and how you can't judge a book by its cover. I definitely did not expect for some people do have done what they admitted to.
At home this week I had a big change. I've been living in the same house since I was four. My parents recently got divorced and I made the decision to go live with my mom. I left my dad, brother, and dog. However I think that this would be a good change for me and will help me get myself together and also have a break from the arguments my dad and I get into daily. Week 2 Reflection: Life Events over the past week
Over this past week I’ve had quite a lot go on. I got lost in temple, left my car their had to find someone to drive me back to temple in the morning and pick it up. Came home got in a fight with my dad, moved out and moved into my moms house. I would call those the big events that took place. Other than that I’ve had a pretty eventless week. I went to school Monday through Friday, went to work, and the gym. The events that took place during school were that I showed up to three classes assuming that they were going to be taking place and they were all canceled. That taught me to check the emails from now on beings that I left my house for absolutely nothing. As for work it was my first week off training as my first time being a server. They put me on the Sunday shift, which is pretty busy, and I made a few mistakes. One being that I almost took this lady out. I pretty much wasn’t looking where I was going and drilled her. But that’s as far as that goes, and the gym has been a big part of my life for a couple months now I’ve been weight training with my brother and I’ve lost about 20 lbs since I’ve started so that’s a big accomplishment. If you love somebody
Better tell them while they’re here ’cause They just may run away from you You’ll never know quite when, well Then again it just depends on How long of time is left for you I’ve had the highest mountains I’ve had the deepest rivers You can have it all but life keeps moving I take it in but don’t look down ‘Cause I’m on top of the world, ‘ay I’m on top of the world, ‘ay Waiting on this for a while now Paying my dues to the dirt I’ve been waiting to smile, ‘ay Been holding it in for a while, ‘ay Take you with me if I can Been dreaming of this since a child I’m on top of the world. I’ve tried to cut these corners Try to take the easy way out I kept on falling short of something I coulda gave up then but Then again I couldn’t have ’cause I’ve traveled all this way for something I take it in but don’t look down ‘Cause I’m on top of the world, ‘ay I’m on top of the world, ‘ay Waiting on this for a while now Paying my dues to the dirt I’ve been waiting to smile, ‘ay Been holding it in for a while, ‘ay Take you with me if I can Been dreaming of this since a child I’m on top of the world. Oooooooo... OoooAhhhhhOoooAhhhhh[2x] ‘Cause I’m on top of the world, ‘ay I’m on top of the world, ‘ay Waiting on this for a while now Paying my dues to the dirt I’ve been waiting to smile, ‘ay Been holding it in for a while, ‘ay Take you with me if I can Been dreaming of this since a child And I know it’s hard when you’re falling down And it’s a long way up when you hit the ground Get up now, get up, get up now. And I know it’s hard when you’re falling down I chose this song because I feel as if I’m finally in a good place and rose above a lot of mistakes I’ve made in the past. I’ve learned to say what I feel now before it’s to late, and also to live for myself so I feel that I’m on top. When he says “ I’ve tried cutting corners, taking the easy way out I kept on falling short of something”. I feel like that explains my life over the past years. I’ve always tried to find short cuts instead of working hard step by step and feeling accomplished. Even if this isn’t what the song really means this is how I interpreted it and thought that it was a good way to explain how I’ve developed and grown as a person |
