A dream that felt real

A memorable dream I had was during my freshmen year when I had my first marching band camp. The camp was 2 weeks long, 12 hour days spent marching and music in the hot sun. It was very intensive with the only down time being an hour for lunch and dinner. When I finally returned home every night I was excited for a moment of rest, except I didn't receive a break even in sleep. I would dream about practicing the exercises and music we had learned that day. I specifically remember how vivid and realistic those dreams felt, it was like I was trapped in a marching band hell.

Today in class we continued reading The Color Purple by Alice Walker. I think it is interesting how the dynamic between Celie and Shug Avery is developing. It almost seems like Celie is crushing on Shug Avery, although I believe their relationship is much more complicated than just romantic feelings.

The perfect day with someone I care about

 The perfect day with someone I care about would start with getting lunch. Then afterwards we'd spend some quality time together. Maybe we'd watch a movie, or bake cookies. We could go out and do something exciting but I'd rather stay in the comfort of my own home. To end the day we'd have a nice dinner, preferably something cooked at home. Today in class we finished our one-pager assignments. I'm pretty happy with how mine turned out, it looks pretty accurate to the layout that I had in mind. I did see another student draw a phoenix on their assignment though, and I kinda regret choosing the sun because the phoenix is way cooler.

gender roles

 Today in class we discussed gender roles. It was interesting to hear everyone's views on gender, and I think that was the most vocal discussion our class has had. I liked today's lesson because I'm more aware of gender roles than I am of my family history or my ethnic culture. Especially because I am a more masculine presenting woman who is attracted to other women. Nothing out of the ordinary happened today, but for lunch we were served cheese rippers which are my favorite!
