English Class
Every Tuesday and Thursday
Or maybe it's monday, wednesday, and friday that week
I got to class only to sit in the same seat.
I sit in my chair which lies beneauth a metallic desk.
It feels like a routine but it's everything but that.
New material, new thoughts..
I call it progression.
I see the evolution.
Still every other day I sit in the same desk.
I see the same faces
except the select few days where few neglect to show.
I still feel the routine.
We all talk
I engrave the material into my mind
or the little bits that seem to matter here and there.
Like wires running through my brain transferring everything to flood my mind.
Like electricity, the brains which occupy our class room
run to generate the progress our classroom makes.
Sometimes it feels like we take a step forward
only to take 3 steps back
but even then I see progression.
I speak with the new words that are embedded in my brain
from the countless weeks of vocabulary.
Apathy, Reverence, Enigma, Fallacious.
words and letters tumble in my brain.
We reflect on the good and bad as we learn from our mistakes
we vow to change our ways and if any contrast such things
they can walk over to their folder and retrieve the test which taught us so.
In Our Time January 27th 2014.
Now we have reached the end of our year
As we get closer and closer to the test
That test which in some ways resembles January 27th 2014.
In Our Time by Earnest Hemmingway, that factor
I remind myself of the potential that surrounds me.
I remind myself of the change in character within myself.
I may still procrastinate or slack off here and there
but this class has changed me for the better.
Tomorrow I will walk into class
I will sit in the very same chair at the very same desk
but I will listen to new things that are said from every person around the room.
Because this is a room full of so much potential and influence.
