Okay. I wanna say hi to the probably three people that will read this and thanks for the continual support of my work here on this blog page. It really means a lot to me. Honestly, I love writing these blogs because it allows me to express myself in a way that I have never been able to before. I am able to write funny stories about my day in the River's classroom without being questioned things like "why is this loser writing about his English class?". I find a lot of enjoyment in writing these blogs, and hopefully anyone (maybe no one) reading this blog also is able to find some enjoyment out of doing so.
Now can someone explain to me why it's always so darn cold? It was like 5 degrees this morning when I woke up. The feeling of slowly freezing to death followed me out of bed, to school, and into the River's classroom today. For some reason, I guess the school can't ever seem to figure out that when it is cold, people need to turn up the heat so that it isn't cold when we get to school.
Anyways, that's probably enough of me complaining about the cold. What you are all here for is probably to learn about all the juicy things in class today. So let's start there. Today, we learned about why some films decide to use a certain amount of cuts to portray positive or negative moods. We watched clips from some films and analyzed how some used very few cuts whereas others used a lot of cuts. We watched a clip from Birdman and another from some strange summer camp movie. I don't really remember what it was called, but I do remember that it was super strange and cringy. I hope I never have to watch that clip again. We talked about what the cuts did and how it could lift the mood of a scene or make a really negative. That was about all we did today.
On a side note, while Mr. Rivers explained this to us, we also had good ol' Mr. O'Grady in the back of the class trying to fix the heater( I think). It kinda distracted me a bit. I remember that he used to be an English teacher, and him being in an English classroom kinda got me thinking. I started comparing him to Mr.Rivers (who also happens to be an English teacher) for some strange reason. I noticed that they were a similar height, but that was about it. I wondered if it was strange for him fixing something in an English classroom while during an English class when he used to be an English teacher. Well. None of that probably matters to anyone.
To end this off, I want to leave a link to a YouTube video that inspired me today. It's by a man who goes be the name of Prince Ea. Hopefully he can maybe inspire you to go achieve your goals and live your life in a way you won't regret. Here's the link:
