Starting a New Job

Image
      As of next Tuesday, November 1st, I will have started a new job. I will start working at UPS as a Package Handler. I'm honestly kind of nervous, but I believe I should be just fine. I have had a couple of buddies recently work at UPS and they seemed to enjoy it, so hopefully the same happens for me.      I will be working roughly 4am-8am, but the hours vary. That means I will need to start going to sleep earlier. Wish me luck!

Birthday Lunch

      Hello all! I just recently had a birthday, and I turned 20! I guess I'm finally not a teenager anymore! My mom, brother, grandparents, and girlfriend all came up to Erie for lunch. We went to Firebirds, and I got a full rack of barbeque smoked ribs, with a side of fresh-cut fruit and steaming hot scallop potatoes. Also, I got the lemonade there, and in my opinion, it is to die for. When you order the lemonade, $1.25 goes towards children with cancer. It is called Alex's Lemonade.      Visiting with my family was tons of fun because I haven't seen all of them in so long and loved spending quality time with them! The next time I will see all of them will be Thanksgiving. The above shows my grandparents, my brother, and me.

Just recently, I started my class called Intro to the English Major. Dr. Reed is my professor and he really keeps the class entertaining. I certainly appreciate his dad jokes.      In the latest class, we read a lot of poetry. I'm not going to act like I am someone who I'm not, so I am just going, to be honest with you. I cannot understand poetry to save my life. Imagine you're 4 feet tall. Now try to jump and slam dunk a basketball, it seems impossible. That is exactly how I feel when it comes to understanding poetry. I really try my hardest and I believe if I keep trying I will eventually get a grasp on it. If anyone has any tips on understanding poetry, I'd love for a response to read and hopefully, it'll help me! Below is a picture to help you understand how much I struggle with understanding poetry.
