week 11 erin cragg

 I'm currently listening to country music which is something I never used to do. A few of my close friends listen to it a lot and it was all they played over the summer. I listen to it sometimes now because it reminds me of summer and the good times I had with my friends. 

week 11- Tess Acabbo

 During this past year, life has been very hard for everyone. We are so restricted on what we can and cannot do. I haven’t been able to look forward to something in awhile. A few weeks ago I found out I was going to get a new puppy. I am so excited, especially for my dog to have a new friend. I love being able to look forward to something and to be excited and having something new happening

Jane Edison - Week 11

 My family is on the hunt for dogs at the moment. After losing my 14 year old lab 2 months ago, my dog-oriented family is pining to liven up my house and help to make it feel less empty. Some people say that getting another dog so soon is disrespectful to your late pup, or that you are trying to fill the void with another dog. Quite the contrary is my case actually. My family decidedly cannot function without a dog in our home. Dogs are what make home for us. I don’t think we’d be “replacing” Rocky at all. I think we would be adding a new family member. Their presence is their own and their personality not lacking what the last one provided. Each dog is individual and brings their own personality into their owners and own life.

There is a shape carved into the desk of my E Block class. It looks like an “H” rotated 45 degrees counterclockwise with the bar of the H extending to the top right corner of the desk and forming a lightning bolt shape. I wonder about the person who made this carving. What class were they in when they made it? What was the teacher doing? Who are all the other people who have sat at this desk, stared at this carving, and pondered its meaning?

Week 11- Beatriz Ferreira

We should try to be a better person every day. I can't understand the concept of "new year, new me" and how we need to have a list of things we'd like to accomplish. Some people start planning for the new year and forget to focus on what they can do with the days they have left, which are also important.

Paige Stephan - Week 11

Yesterday, I went on a long walk through the forest as it was snowing with my dog. I found it nice to be alone for a while and to get a chance to listen to a very atmospheric album with rather fitting scenery to match its creepy atmosphere. Much of the time I was walking through the woods, I was thinking about basing a possible story setting off of it, which the cold and the album I was listening to as I walked through it only amplified the possible darker aspect of.

1. I recently went back to my Killington house to spend some time there before the holidays. Most of the people who own houses there don't live in them full time, and because of covid they're living elsewhere. It's pretty sad to see what once was a happy town full of happy skiers and snowboarders is now somewhat deserted.
