The Holocaust Museum, and Its Depressing Tendencies (Beyond Class #2)

I had to go to the Holocaust Museum for a History assignment on my own time. First of all, not only was it pretty creepy because there were like 2 people in the whole museum and one of them was the friend I brought with me. The exhibits were completely dark until you walked right into them and then everything came alive at once and it was pretty scary. I had to push my friend in front of me because I was too scared to go first half the time, and when we got to the tunnel, somehow I got pressured into going first and I did not expect to see a family of people in mannequin form chilling in the tunnel and speaking in German. For some reason just the German language is the scariest thing to me, but maybe because I automatically think of Hitler and murder when I hear it. Enough about my anxiety, The museum did have a lot of information that I didn't know about before. for instance, I did not know that Jehovah's witnesses and Gypsies were also sent to concentration camps. Like, why? I don't really get it. I learned that over 1.5 million children were murdered. That was pretty depressing. I also learned that a lot of Nazi's didn't get too harsh of sentences. Most of them just received a little jail time or something. Of course the high ranking ones were killed or given life but there were only like 12 of them out of like 100 Nazis or something like that. That to me, was also very trifling because every single Nazi helped someone be murdered. Nobody was forced to become a Nazi, forreal. So yeah that was my experience. The End.

Wedding Proposal Dream Team

So, the other weekend, Me and 3 friends drove to Virginia Beach together at 9 at night to help someone with a wedding proposal. We set up a tent on the beach at night and the beach was completely empty and peaceful. We set up Tiki torches and colorful lights to make a path and we hang pictures of them from the top of the tent and taped "Will You Marry Me" to the back of the tent. We then assembled our instruments. My ex-boyfriend played the box drum, his friend played the Ukulele, and I, and my friend sang the song "Will You Marry Me" by Jason Derulo. When we heard then coming, walking down the beach, we began to sing and when she reached the tent she was so shocked and happy, she stood there with her hand to her mouth. When we reached the chorus of the song he got down on one knee and said the most heartfelt speech he could manage. When she said yes, we then began to create our own song. that only had the lyrics "She Said Yes" it actually sounded pretty good. Expect it on iTunes pretty soon. :) and thats my story of how we made someone's dream come true. and they all lived happily ever after..... except this was last week so they're not even married yet, but you get the point. The End!

My Mind is telling me no....but my body is also telling me no.

So, it's been very hard for me to do these blogs lately because my mind has been a blank slate. the stuff we've been doing in class has legitimately blown completely over my head, unintentionally, of course. Whenever I try to blog about something, my mind spaces, and i'm back to the idea that this is almost completely pointless for me. I have no problem expressing myself. if you think so you should definitely see my twitter account. My problem is that I'm not really given a topic and I don't exactly know what is worth anyone reading much less what is approved for me to talk about. Like is this post even an approved topic? Is it alright for me to talk about how i can't think of anything to blog about and because of which, i do not wish to blog? if it's not approved, I apologize, but this is as good as it gets for right now, unfortunately. but hey, i also typed a good amount of words here. i could mention something about foreshadowing and syntax, and similes, but you know, it's all pretty much downhill from here so why try to even save this post. If you've even gone as far as to read all of this, Ku- freaking- dos to you, because if I were me, I would've stopped a long time ago. Again, I'm sorry this wasn't my best post. Also, I'm sorry I'm not exceeding your expectations of me! I JUST WANT TO LIVE MY LIFE, GOSH. Okay my brain is turning into mush, just as yours probably is as well, the more you read on. So I'm just gonna stop, and.... yeah. i have like 3 more of these to do. See you next time.
