Well, I completely forgot I had a huge math test today, and I hadn't studied at all because I've been working on this project so much..so I'm pretty sure I failed that test. Maybe I can talk to my professor about any available extra credit opportunity..
Okay, so..Derek was not as much of a help as I would have thought, and here I am in Starbucks, listening to the song Hallelujah from Shrek trying to decide what my next move for this project will be.. I should probably mention the advice Derek told me. His first words were "stop stressing so much, the professor will be happy for all your hard work anyway. I'm sure he understands how hard this is..but he believes in you, otherwise, would he have really allowed you to carry on with this project?" It honestly made my day. Then he told me, if I could, I should interview someone who was once a slave...or in a similar position. Only problem with that, is I do not know of anyone. Then he said to look up documentaries on slavery, so...I did. I found this incredible documentary:

It was really eye-opening. I am speechless. It gave me more of a feel, hearing what these people had to say about what slavery was like. I'll never be able to understand completely, but I will get a better look into what it was like.
I think for my next blog post, I'll dicuss what I think Sethe may experience sometimes when she's alone, or when she's not.
