Living like a bumble bee

Working in the sun,

Tired and breathless.

Working in the office,

Straining and tedious.

Take a moment from your day,

Think of all you have accomplished.

The mere effort used to wake up,

Simply being alive.

Create a space in your mind,

For some self-worth.

With zeal and vitality,

Consume the honor of being alive.

With such empowerment of the unfavorable,

We neglect the favorable.

Our lives so bitter in regret,

When what matters most is the progress.

One is not built to mold as a Kevlar vest,

Instead as a recoverable, converting tree.

Constantly transforming, changing, restoring,

Regaining, repairing, and caring.

Just take a moment out of your day,

Living as a busy bumble bee.

Stop for a moment and think,

Of the endless flowers to land upon.

Star-crossed Lovers

Oh Romeo and Juliet,
how I feel for thee.
Finding true love,
but not so much free.
With the feud of your families,
leaves me with no choice.
Oh Juliet in her deathbed she lay,
simply for Romeo; to hear his voice.
So brave does she strive to be,
with all of my heart, I wish her good luck.
Oh Romeo, Oh Romeo please understand,
Maiden Juliet is quite a bit stuck.
I hope this plan brings lasting love,
as star-crossed lovers freely rejoice.

Oh my dear Romeo!

Oh Romeo, oh Romeo my dear!
Your name is like a spear,
But Montague is just a name to me,
As our love grows like branches on a tree,
This feud being the poison in our roots,
Causing nothing well and rotten fruits,
Oh what to do, oh what to do!
Oh Romeo my dear, my love lies with you!

Results of being sick

Today I was really sick and completely lost my voice. I wasn't able to go to school which resulted in me staying home doing nothing but watching a Korean drama called 'Heirs'. It was quite nice actually but I felt stressed from being not productive. Overall the experience of relaxation was worth the time.

I have gotten up to episode 13 in one day, I know, terrible and unproductive. ""The Heirs" depicts the friendships, rivalries and love lives of young, rich heirs led by Kim Tan (Lee Min-Ho) and a girl named Cha Eun-Sang (Park Shin-Hye). Unlike the others, Cha Eun-Sang is considered ordinary and comes from a poor background." That was the description provided by AsianWiki about the general plot of this drama. So far I have enjoyed it because I really enjoyed a similar Korean dram called 'Boys over Flowers' with many of the same actors and actresses as characters. 

Journal entry from Jem's point of view

               Hello, My name is Jem and I am the first son of Atticus Fitch and the older brother of Scout or her real name, Jean Louise. I was born after a year into my mother and fathers marriage. Four years after I was born Scout was born. Two years after she was born our mother passed away due to an unexpected heart attack that runs in her family. Us Southerners are from Maycomb, Alabama. Scout and I live with Atticus and we often adventure as a duo. Though I miss my mother dearly, we are living quite a comfortable life with Atticus. 

 

               Although Atticus is from Finch's Landing, Scout and I are from Maycomb. Maycomb is a very small town inside Alabama where life can be limiting. Nothing is ever in a rush because there is no where to be, nothing to do and nothing to see. Houses and structures are very drowsy and old. Take the Radleys house for example. Their house has low, once white with a deep front porch and green shutters but time has passed and now darkened to a gray with rain-stained shingles. Their picket fence had hardly anything left of it. Maycomb had many rainy days that shadowed the sun.

               Maycomb was full of agriculture. Many civilians’ jobs were affected by the crash as agriculture came to an all-time low. Mr. Cunningham was one of those workers. Scout is in Walter Cunningham's grade one class. She was telling me about how Walter did not bring lunch the other day and she had to tell Ms. Caroline about the Cunningham and their inability to afford these luxuries. Atticus had helped Mr. Cunningham as a lawyer but Mr. Cunninghams was not able to pay Atticus back, in currency at least. Throughout the following year we received various gifts from the Cunninghams such as a crokersack full of turnip greens, holly, smilax, and hickory nuts. It was the only way they were able to pay anyone back, this was the case for many farmers.
