So we talked about life and we talked about blogs and we talked about sol's post but did we talk about what our post was about this week or did I miss something
Also sorry for interrupting the list
#22 I realized that I wasn't the only one slightly freaking out about life after Highschool
Even when you have a plan you still kind of freak out? Is thT normal??
#25: hearing people talk about high school coming to an end is #real it's like talking about death, the stakes are high, what you think is important and relevant because your audience cares about that stuff too.
And it will go away, amber. Don't worry too much about it, but don't ignore it either. One day you'll be old and you won't have an exciting near future to worry about. You'll just be getting new carpet in your house. Don't get me wrong, new carpet is dope, it's just not as important as what you're dealing with now.
#43: I had a wake up call when Madi talked about her job and how meaningful and awkward and important it is. I thought she worked at Walmart or something and I secretly resented her for working more than she wrote. But I don't know everything.
I don't know where it came from. I just wanted to do something that required nothing but your brain and your pen. It was like a 30 min project without the materials and without the prompt.
#46 Getting an inside look on what people were doing in class. If they were really 'there' or off in their own little world. Seeing how their mind works and what they think about
i kinda liked hearing this more than people's polished slam poems
#50 hearing the class laugh at parts of my entry where i didn't expect anyone to laugh (like how is it funny that i only have $23 in my savings, i don't know, but you're all about to pee your pants because now i only have $1.26) but it helped me realize that i need to lighten up about shiz haha.
update - i just paid sydnee's mom back .. with interest. it's all good.
#51: you're right Hannah, I was excited about class. It's easy to just go through the motions and it's one of my biggest fears in teaching and in life.
#53 being legitimately excited to come to class. Don't get me wrong, I'm never like unenthusiastic or zac when I come to class, but I seriously feel like this is somewhere I'm accepted and somewhere we can all come together and share what's in our heads in a (completely legal) unfiltered and un-judgmental way
gaah this isn't a reason but i just posted the thing i wrote in class if you want to read it again but it's not showing on the feed so you can go to it here (dontcallmeimnotahotline.blogspot.com)
#62 just barely realizing that pretending to be nelson meant that, since he was rachel, we would've been Britt's parents and that's terrifying cause the dude can kill me with one hand
#71: we stopped sharing at 2pm, which was pretty early, but that made it so I didn't have anxiety that I always have at the end of class like the bell's going to ring in the middle of someone's piece.
I would like to make a list of 100 reasons why today was so cool.
ReplyDelete#1: it was friday and everything's cool on friday
ReplyDelete#2: i hugged reza
ReplyDelete#3: brooklyn hugged reza
ReplyDelete#4: today's slam felt different. there was something immediate about it. urgent. real. i don't know if there's one word to describe it.
ReplyDelete#5 today made me excited to write
ReplyDelete#6 i felt like we all mattered to eachother
ReplyDelete#7: I almost cried when Emily said I'm sorry to each one of her teachers.
ReplyDeletei'm sorry
DeleteMy favorite part was when you acted like Rachel and Brit was Brooklyn.
ReplyDelete#8
DeleteZac sent me pictures. I'll post them.
DeleteP.s. Britt's hands are soft.
#9 This class actually made me feel sad to leave High School.
ReplyDelete#9: we weren't doing math.
ReplyDelete#10
DeleteDamn numbers
#11: we weren't doing science
ReplyDelete#12: how many people got up.
ReplyDelete#13: it got me thinking about the blogs again
ReplyDeleteidghasfdskjaf idk how to say this but the writers list is being janky :(
DeleteI get what you're saying I post for the first time in two months and it didn't show up immediately I'm so angry in that privileged rich kid way
Delete#14: I'm still thinking about it.
ReplyDelete#15 we had 3 people get up that aren't even in the class
ReplyDelete#16 I haven't written anything so real in my journal in a long time
ReplyDelete#17 A bunch of us sat in different seats
ReplyDelete#18: it was the closest my wife has ever been to coming to a class.
ReplyDelete#19 we all texted different people asking what they were doing
ReplyDelete#20 and most of them answered with whatever they were doing, and then "why?"
ReplyDelete#21 and none of us knew how to respond after that
ReplyDeleteSo we talked about life and we talked about blogs and we talked about sol's post but did we talk about what our post was about this week or did I miss something
ReplyDeleteAlso sorry for interrupting the list
#22 I realized that I wasn't the only one slightly freaking out about life after Highschool
Even when you have a plan you still kind of freak out? Is thT normal??
Do you ever figure it out??????
Yeah, we never talked about this week's post, it's just rn, so write about rn, either take your journal entry and publish it or write a new one.
Delete#23: amber's story
#24: I texted Saunders, but it wasn't delivered lol
#25: hearing people talk about high school coming to an end is #real it's like talking about death, the stakes are high, what you think is important and relevant because your audience cares about that stuff too.
DeleteAnd it will go away, amber. Don't worry too much about it, but don't ignore it either. One day you'll be old and you won't have an exciting near future to worry about.

#23.5 my smoker voice???
DeleteSenior senior senior senior
ReplyDelete#26: that one kid who talked about how he had two more years.
DeleteBlink and they're gone
Delete"Don't worry about it too much, but don't ignore it"
ReplyDeleteI think that's the best advice I've got
#26 we all cared about eachother
#27 there werent any tourists. Even the 3 kids that weren't in our class were locals
ReplyDelete#28 I never checked my phone
ReplyDelete#29 when we started plotting ways to get Rachel to class (let's do it, I'll film the whole thing lol)
ReplyDelete#30 how jake remembered Hannah
ReplyDelete#31 Luke trying to open his bag of chips while we were writing
ReplyDelete#32 That was the most unified I felt as a class
ReplyDelete#33 Sol's wakeup call for us
ReplyDelete#34 Actually being excited to get up in front of the class not feeling like I had to
ReplyDelete#35 feeling like i was apart of the class
ReplyDelete#36 Reading our comments from the blog out loud
ReplyDelete#37 Emily's reaction when I read my comment about having White Bread come to class one day
ReplyDeletethe poor guy has no idea that he's become an inside joke
Delete#38: the inside joke about being Zac (aka sad)
ReplyDelete#39: when jake got up his whole post was so poetic to me, even though he was just writing what was on his mind. Jake, post that rn in your blog bro.
ReplyDeleteCrap.
Delete#40 Nelson showing us Rachel's texts about the carpet being welded down
ReplyDelete#41 Mr. Nelson acting like Mrs. Nelson, and us not knowing if that's accurate or not. #WakeUpCW2
ReplyDelete#42 the meaning of life
ReplyDelete(and when Nelson challenged me to do something different in a video, gah)
#43: I had a wake up call when Madi talked about her job and how meaningful and awkward and important it is. I thought she worked at Walmart or something and I secretly resented her for working more than she wrote. But I don't know everything.
ReplyDelete#44 This whole freakin rn prompt!
ReplyDelete(where did you come up with this/how did you decide to do this)
I don't know where it came from. I just wanted to do something that required nothing but your brain and your pen. It was like a 30 min project without the materials and without the prompt.
Delete#45 Talking about how deepparis was dying so now people are commenting more
ReplyDelete*cough*me*cough*
#46 Getting an inside look on what people were doing in class. If they were really 'there' or off in their own little world. Seeing how their mind works and what they think about
ReplyDelete#47 Having a peace of mind knowing I'm not the only one scared of graduation
ReplyDelete#48 Seeing Nelson actually excited about class again
ReplyDelete#49 reading stuff "hot off the press"
ReplyDeletei kinda liked hearing this more than people's polished slam poems
#50 hearing the class laugh at parts of my entry where i didn't expect anyone to laugh
(like how is it funny that i only have $23 in my savings, i don't know, but you're all about to pee your pants because now i only have $1.26)
but it helped me realize that i need to lighten up about shiz haha.
update - i just paid sydnee's mom back .. with interest. it's all good.
also nelson - i apologized, but i neglected to say thank you.
ReplyDeletethank you.
#51: you're right Hannah, I was excited about class. It's easy to just go through the motions and it's one of my biggest fears in teaching and in life.
ReplyDelete#52 sol bringing our class back to life
ReplyDeleteFOREAL
Delete#53 being legitimately excited to come to class. Don't get me wrong, I'm never like unenthusiastic or zac when I come to class, but I seriously feel like this is somewhere I'm accepted and somewhere we can all come together and share what's in our heads in a (completely legal) unfiltered and un-judgmental way
ReplyDelete#54: almost everyone was there.
ReplyDelete#55: almost everyone was on time.
ReplyDelete#56: that's really all we did. Maybe less is more.
ReplyDelete#57: we were gonna go outside but then we didn't.
ReplyDelete#58: we wrote for 4 or 5 songs, I think.
ReplyDelete#59: the part where Megan said she was watching me write.
ReplyDeletegaah this isn't a reason but i just posted the thing i wrote in class if you want to read it again but it's not showing on the feed so you can go to it here (dontcallmeimnotahotline.blogspot.com)
ReplyDelete#60 getting told that i shouldn't skip college. That's legitly the first time I think that ever went through my head
ReplyDelete#61 pretending (and bombing) to be nelson
ReplyDelete#62 just barely realizing that pretending to be nelson meant that, since he was rachel, we would've been Britt's parents and that's terrifying cause the dude can kill me with one hand
ReplyDelete#62: I forgot how much I love you guys.
ReplyDelete#63
Delete#64 that it was raw and we didn't think our words had to be perfect
ReplyDeleteTHE BLOGS ARE ALIVE TONIGHT
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeletetonight felt like cw1 when we were all posting for the first time
ReplyDeleteI love this prompt! Never been so real and honest with my writing!
ReplyDelete#65 Brenden said he wanted to kiss kp in front of everyone
ReplyDelete( suspect A in Luke's story btw )
lol
Brenden just walked into my classroom to ask a question as I was reading this comment.
Delete#66: it felt like what we were doing mattered
ReplyDelete#67: it felt like what we were saying mattered
ReplyDelete#68: it felt like what we were listening to mattered
ReplyDelete#69: i didn't want to be anywhere else
ReplyDelete#70: when we laughed at the blog post for day 31 and day 32, it was so short.
ReplyDelete#71: we stopped sharing at 2pm, which was pretty early, but that made it so I didn't have anxiety that I always have at the end of class like the bell's going to ring in the middle of someone's piece.
ReplyDelete#72 I read everyone's posts because I wanted to
ReplyDeletePs I didn't go to 1st period
ReplyDeleteOr second
#rn
hey same. I only went to 3rd
Delete#rn
#embracethemess
ReplyDelete^^^^ that's what rn is all about
#73
Delete#74: I'm helping my wife put together a bed with one hand while I type this comment with the other. #rn
ReplyDelete#75: I texted you to give you a heads up and to generate a little excitement.
ReplyDelete#76: I didn't show a video to introduce the prompt.
ReplyDelete#77: I didn't spend any time worrying about a playlist of songs to listen to while we wrote.
ReplyDelete#78: I wrote an example and shared it with the class before you wrote.
ReplyDelete#79: I wasn't disappointed when I looked at the blog today
ReplyDelete#80: I wasn't late to class
ReplyDelete#81: Sol got mad. I got mad.
ReplyDelete#82: The room wasn't too cold
ReplyDelete#83: The room wasn't too hot
ReplyDelete#84: I actually wrote a full journal entry and then some
ReplyDelete#85: This just asked if I was a robot because I'm posting so many comments.
ReplyDelete#86: Sam made me laugh really hard during Brenden's slam
ReplyDelete#87: Some people admitted that they may not even graduate
ReplyDeletelol
Delete#88: I don't think anyone fell asleep
ReplyDelete#89: People looked like they were comfortable sharing. They didn't stutter or mess up really.
ReplyDelete#90: We have almost made it to 100 comments
ReplyDeleteAs to why this class was good. (114 in total)
Delete#91 I sat next to jake
ReplyDelete#92: there was no prompt. No topic to arbitrarily try to cover. Just write.
ReplyDelete#93 it was ( mostly ) quiet when we wrote
ReplyDelete#94 i sat in the very back corner & didn't have my glasses but it was okay because there wasn't much to look at, just lots to listen to
ReplyDelete#95: class felt a little dead the previous few weeks. So that made way for the revival. The returning feeling of being woke.
ReplyDelete#96: plenty of time
ReplyDeleteIM SO WOKE I GOT BAGS UNDER MY EYES I LOVE IT
ReplyDelete#97 How petty my anger is
ReplyDeleteI should've flipped a table
I can't believe we got this close
ReplyDeleteand then
#98 Almost 100
ReplyDelete#99 Super close!!
ReplyDelete#100 And then 100 @Nelson
