What did I do over the break

 Over fall break, I watched Arkansas lose 2 games. We lost by 3 to both Tennessee and Texas A&M in regular Arkansas fashion (making me think there's hope then shattering it.) It was very frustrating because Arkansas is 11 points away from being 6-1 but instead we're 2-5. I also went to football practice to prepare against our game last Friday against Decatur which we lost 28-0. I didn't even kick any field goals because coach wanted to go for it. I think that going for it on 4th down should be banned. On Wednesday, someone on the team disrespected our athletic trainer which was a big deal. The only issue is that nobody knows who did it. Nobody knew or would tattle on the person who did it, so we had to run up the hill and bear crawl down 10 times. It was easily top 5 worst things on the planet. My legs hurt on Thursday and Friday really bad and by Saturday I couldn't really walk. Luckily now it's feeling better. Also something else I did was find a fix for the cruise control in my 2000 CRV. The cruise control had only been working on and off since we got it back in July, and it had been a huge pain in the pants. I finally decided I was fed up and was going to have a look to find the issue. I went on YouTube and found a video that described the problem with the same exact symptoms. There's a pin near the brake pedal that pushes against a rubber pad when the brake is not engaged so that the cruise control knows it can engage. The pin had worn down the rubber pad to where it only would work some of the time, and other times the cruise control wouldn't work at all. All I have to do is tape a penny to the rubber pad with some electrical tape and it should work normally again so that was pretty interesting. I also visited Georgia Southern University and Young Harris college. Those visits were fun, but they took up an entire day of break.

Pretend you are writing a blog entry as Celie; the moment you uncover the hidden letters. Describe what you would think, say, and do, and how this discovery would reshape how you see Mister and yourself. Reflect on why this moment would matter so much and how it would change your next choices.

 Dear God, It is absolutely beyond me that Mr.__ had the effrontery to up and hide Netties letters from me. I feel really upset and angry at him. All this time I've been dearly missing Nettie so dad gum much it's killing me to be without her letters. Mr. __ knew this and decided to keep it from her anyways!!! I just cannot believe it. I knew he was bad, but this is worse than I thought. I cannot let this go unpunished. Maybe I try to fake an injury from him, and I'll tell Shug Avery on him. Then he'll be sorry. Shug Avery will beat the red devil out of him if she thinks Mr.__ has been abusing me. This choice of his to hide the letters is my TURNING point. I'm done with his idiocy. I have just about HAD it with him. Sure, I'm glad I have the letters, and I'll make the novel a ton longer and way more convoluted by including her letters in it, but I'm still super mad at Mr. __ and I must exact revenge.  Today in class we did a short quiz on the previous let...

Prompt: Tell me what is your favorite word RIGHT NOW? Why is it your favorite word and how often do you use it?

 My favorite word right now is probably "dad gum." I say it all the time because I think it's funny when it' s really not. I just kinda add it onto everything I say. You can ask Jillian about it because she frequently is on the receiving end of the word. I heard it from the popular twitch streamer "Caseoh" who always says dad gum and if he can make it funny why can't I? It's a euphemism for a different set of 2 words that means for God to condemn.  Today in class we worked on a comic strip that I thought was a very fun activity except for the vocabulary words we had to use. I learned about the different vocab words from chapter 1.

What do I know about my birth

 My dad had to cancel his order at Mcdonald's to run to the dad gum delivery room. I was a C section. I was first held by my dad. I have no idea how long my birth lasted. However, I didn't know how to eat. I would literally have died if I was a baby at any other time in history because I straight up had no idea how to eat. I was born on a Monday. My head was giant. I was born a week late, and my head was gargantuan. I could speak in sentences before I could walk because of how large my head was. I was in the 107th percentile for head size or something outrageous like that.  Today in class we read poems by William Blake I learned more than I probably wanted to about childbirth and I learned about Mr. Rease's kids' birth. Very interesting day.
