Sorry about not posting yesterday, I was busier than expected after possibly the busiest week of my life. Also, we had our first forensics tournament Friday thru Sunday at Lewis and Clark College, so that took up most of my time. It went well, with most of our students (including me, in debate) breaking to quarterfinals and final rounds in something. This is the most freshmen we’ve had in at least four years, which is also exciting. Five of them competed at this tournament, and four others are interested in the next ones. Woo!

I am SO rocking this sweatervest right now

But I promise this isn’t another one of those posts. Continue reading “I am SO rocking this sweatervest right now”

The “I’ve Got Goals” Slam
I don’t have time to write a blog, but I thought this would be a good time to post the videos of my performances from our school slam club’s first poetry slam. I got to read twice (meaning I made it to the semi finals), so here at the two poems I chose to do. They’re both new as of this month, and there are a couple f-bombs, but nothing too bad. I went to the Portland Poetry Slam again last night and actually made it to semifinals there too! It’s been a good week for poetry.
“Dear Liam Aiken”
“Optimus Mack”
It should be noted that I’d never performed either of these poems before. Ok bye.

My Life is Insane
Yesterday was a good day. A strange day, perhaps, and a busy one, but a good day nonetheless. And frankly, I’m surprised I managed to walk down four flights of stairs and all the way to Maggies this morning- my butt is freaking SORE. Let’s start from the beginning.
