CAS – 100 Days of IB

Hi there! So today is apparently the first 100 days of IB which is crazy. It honestly feels a bit longer than that, we’ve settled in so quickly and gotten our routines, it’s incredible. In terms of CAS, I’m really enjoying my commitments. SustainBrew is a bit rocky so far but we’re trying to set up the foundations so that we can make the most of each session. Samba has been a fresh experience which is fun. Boxing is always the highlight of my week, but I’m especially excited that I might be able to start coaching as well. That’s 100 words.

ENGLISH – Jesus Hopped the A-train (Initial thinking)

In class, we’ve just finished scene four and so far I have a rough idea on who the characters are. Angel Cruz is a newly incarcerated Puerto-Rican inmate who’s in for shooting reverend Kim in the ass. He had an encounter with a lawyer, Mary Jane, who shortly became unobligated to help him as he had confessed. Mary Jane had an interesting monologue afterwards in scene 4 where she talked about how she ‘felt something’ when Angel said that he had “just shot him in the ass” and related it to her own experience with her father stabbing someone with a dessert fork for a racist comment.

Another story that’s being told is Lucius Jenkins who has been put in protective custody and seems to be taking it quite easily, however his assigned officer has just been led away and appears to be not returning. In his place, another officer, Valdez, immediately establishes his stance and where he is relative to Lucius.

I’m very curious to see how this play will pan out, and what role the profanity might serve.
