if I had to write a poem about my life

 If I had to write a poem about my life I think I would write about growing up. When I was younger I couldn't wait to grow up, but now that I am here I wish I could be a kid again. Over winter break I had to say goodbye to the closest thing of a childhood home I still had, as my dad is finally moving out of it. I remember looking at the tiled walls of my shower, seeing the familiar faces that my mind had put together from the patterns of the granite, and suddenly it had dawned on me at how tall I had gotten. It was a bittersweet moment. I did not have a very happy childhood, but I'm so afraid of my future that I wish I could stay here just a little bit longer.

Today in class we went over thesis statements. I was a bit tired so it was hard to keep my eyes open near the end, but I was listening the whole time still.

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!
