I am currently enjoying class. I like the fact that we go deep into the readings, and have to really think about what each story means. Trying to pick the brain of the author is fun and challenging to me. With that being said, I also liked going to the military museum and looking forward to the Holocaust Museum on Thursday. Most of the reading we talk about have all types of trauma in them one way or another. I especially enjoyed Hemingway's "Now I Lay Me" because I thought it was a story about friendship and how soldiers in war respond to each other. I couldn't even think about being in a war.
I enjoy listening to rap and rock music.. The song that comes to mind when thinking about trauma is the song 'Stan' by Eminem. The song takes you through a story of this guy named Stan writing Eminem fan mail. By the 2nd or 3rd verse you can tell that this guy, Stan, has something psychologically wrong with him and he takes it out on his girlfriend/wife. It is interesting to listen to how this guy deals with his trauma.. and Eminem not writing him back takes a toll on him. Anyways I am sitting in the library right now and think it is time for me to leave and go to the gym.. Just have to get my 'mind right' to lift some weights.. Until next time...
