"A Dream Deferred" by Langston Hughes is one of the first poems I can recall going over in school. I was in 4th grade. Black History month was intensive. We learned a lot about Martin Luther King, Jr., George Washington Carver, Harriet Tubman, and Langston Hughes, to name a few of the persons studied at the time. As for the Hughes part, we read "A Dream Deferred." It's one of those poem everyone can relate to once in their life. Or more than once.
I guess you can say that's what's going on with me. I'm mourning a dream that I've got to defer again. I didn't realize that's what's wrong with me until I visited my friend, Ari, today after school. I mean, I do have my problems and issues, but I couldn't pin down exactly what has been causing me to be down this semester. We had a good talking that was very beneficial for me. I got to say and express things on my chest to someone different than my usual support chain. I'm feeling positive after seeing her. In my car today, I had on Amy Grant's Behind The Eyes, which has the theme relating to mourning and moving on, yet having to keep chugging at life.
In other news, I got compliments about my new hair color. Everyone that saw it today found it to be much better than Marilyn blonde. And I'll tell you what, it's much more me than the Marilyn blonde. I can't knock the Marilyn blonde, however. Without that hair job, I couldn't get this nicer color.
As for school, well it was okay. We didn't get our Economics tests back today. It only had 25 questions, but I think I did well on this sections about the different types of markets. In Calculus, we had another quiz. I think I did well on it. I can get some of the ideas in that class, but not others. I have pretty much resigned myself to the fact if I don't get a B in this class, I will retake the class next fall to get a B AND Honors credit. I can do the Honors program. I just hope my GPA stays a 3.2 after this painful semester. Today, I understood today's lecture. We're working on integrals and we had the example y=√(4-x). Being that I'm nervous about speaking out in that class after some 
head wrote me a note telling me to be quiet, I muttered under my breath that the equation represented a semi-circle. Well, thankfully, my professor told me to say it louder when he heard me. I felt great when that happened.
The Networking group project was fine today. We all showed up today and spent our theoretically $45,000.00. We were looking for things to spend it on. I mainly said whatever the others wanted, I'd go for it. I've been the one that's been calling Bellsouth and Comcast for prices and specs on their services. Looks like we'll get this thing finished and it will be a good one. I just can't stand this class and will be glad to get out of it.
I have a final on the 1st, a final on the 7th, and 2 on the 8th. I'll be glad to get this semester out of my way.
Finally: Vous ne pouvez pas m'aimer, mais une partie de moi vous aimera toujours. Je vous souhaite le meilleur dans la vie.
