rutgers essay draft 1

idk if this will count as a makeup journal, but i thought id officially type up my first draft. i hate the title, but i couldnt think of anything. lol.

A Forced Climb

To put me down on paper is my equivalent to climbing Mount Everest. It’s hard, uncomfortable, but has the promise of an amazing view from the top. As I sit here and think of all the anecdotes I can tell you to show you who I am, and what I can contribute, all that comes to mind is one simple fact: I’m a talker.
My friends and family all can tell you that while they find it awkward to talk to strangers, I don’t mind having a discussion on which type of shampoo they should buy. They can tell you how even in the most tense moments, I can think of something to break the silence. But many people don’t know that it takes years of putting one’s foot in one’s mouth to learn when to talk and when to shut it. I’ve tasted my feet many a time, and I can tell you, you learn more with that horrid taste than anything else. Because of said taste, I am not only a listener, but I also learned patience and tolerance. When I’m with the conservative Republican side of the family, I’ve learned not to teach them new ways to prevent global warming, When my friend gets her teenage heart broken, I’ve learned not to say “I told you he was trash”.
I no longer blurt out my beliefs in a way that makes everything else inferior. I listen to the other side and gain perspective. These seem like minute lessons that should be standard in every young adult, but how many times have you met one that truly understood these principles? My friends call me an old soul in some ways. I am able to coach them through the relentless high school circus. When it seems like it’s unbearable to them, I tell them to take a breath and really think if a fist full of hair is really going to change some one's understanding of the world. I am constantly learning from this personal growth. It seeps into my daily life and surroundings.
I have to say, if I were to write this essay in the beginning of my high school career, I would ramble about how I hate this process and how this is so stupid, but really, what else would force me to sit down and climb Mount Everest?

tuesday may 18th

grade: 100- I think I should get a 100 for today because i showed up, cleaned the catwalk, put the odd gels and lights where they belonged, and helped out wherever else there was need.

entry:
the new hamlet im reading is alot harder to understand than no fear, of course. lol. but i feel like im getting more by looking in the back and everything. so now hamlet has seen the ghost, talked to it, and it has revealed its secret. hamlets uncle killed hamlet (I) in the garden with some sick nasty ear poison. and now he needs to be revenged. but really, the real reason hes in purgatory is because he never confessed his sins before dying and made peace and stuff. so i dont see how this is going to help him. yeah it will help him mentally cause id be pretty pissed too if someone killed me. but in order to get out of purgatory dont you have to make up for all your sins and have people pray for your soul? so making his son kill his brother doesnt really make his case for getting to heaven. idk, it makes a good play i guess. lmfao. and now we know that hamlets starting to act crazy. or is he really crazy??????? the world shall never know.

so now hamlet is told by the guards that the ghost of his dad is just walking around at night. to me i would be a little more upset and skeptical then hamlet, but thats just me. the no fear Shakespeare's translation im finding out sucks. its not direct at all and sometimes completely mixes everything around to get the easiest sounding lines out. wtf. got a regular hamlet today, starting to just read from that.

Entry:
stalked a neighborhood in california that i think is just perfect. i looked up where Weeds is supposed to be set, and the neighborhood is like a ritzy development. perrrrfect. from what i can see of the street on google maps all the houses look EXACTLY the same. i also got onto this site that gave me millions of facts on the town, percent of families, ages, even percent of each ethnicity live there. a bunchhh of things that tickled my fancy until i realized it was kind of stalker-ish.
but on other notes, of acting-wise. im realizing just how hard acting like a parent is. especially a parent that doesnt have my temperment. at least we dont have a helena mom, but discovering these new layers in barbra is tough. realizing that "my husband is an angry man" is not only a threat but a testament completely turned the line around. i was thinking barbra was a feisty housewife. but no, she is just yet another despereate housewife. its going to be interesting. yay stretch-charactersss

Theme of fair is foul in here.

When the brother comes back, he misses it all, but he knows its not right and wants to go back. he was finally alright with the simple and now the city is making him fear. a reference to dismembered limbs is made. hah. the sons pushing him to go back into town just because he wants shit when his father dies. "and from small things there comes a great quietness" i feel like he is talking about the american dream in this saying: " listen, that great things make you happy and harsh ones sad is lies". i really like this guy thyestes. awh, they really just want to make up and hes being tricked. thats horrid.
