“You can never have too much sky. You can fall asleep and wake up drunk on sky, and sky can keep you safe when you are sad. Here there is too much sadness and not enough sky. Butterflies too are few and so are flowers and most things that are beautiful. Still, we take what we can get and make the best of it.”- An excerpt from The House on Mango Street written by Sandra Cisneros, “Darius and the Clouds”. Today this quote I think would resonate with a lot of people. As much as we try everything might seem gray and dull, the exciting things from the semester were unable to happen and its definitely throwing people into the dumps. For this week’s pictures I asked my siblings and parents to participate. I asked them not to smile to display kind of the mood of the house. Nobody is able to do what they would like. My brother isn’t allowed to play hockey like he used to, my sister does her ballet class through zoom, and I am also learning through zoom. I’m looking forward to the end of the semester because although some classes have made it easy to remember when things are due others have not. Alternative learning is not for everyone and it definitely isn’t meant for me. Recently I got a job delivering other people’s groceries for them with Instacart and yesterday I was hired to be a pizza driver. Let’s hope it pays off.
