Bed 2: the return
Jul. 9th, 2016 02:52 pmHaving successfully made a bed for Milo, I'm now making one for me. I got the pieces cut out and the screw holes drilled today, and then tomorrow there will be sanding and gluing, then stain and polyurethane. It'll need to be assembled in the bedroom, since there's no way the queen sized one will be able to fit around corners, but it should be okay. I'm getting a mattress from a friend of my sister's, and I already bought a mattress protector and sheets, so. Bed: some assembly required.
Meanwhile, I have a 10 page paper due on Thursday that's the majority of my grade and I haven't even started on it, but hey. I'm thinking the title will be "Just stay down: America's schools and the struggle to create an underclass." While I haven't come up with an outline or a thesis statement yet, you get the general idea. Maybe something like, "Since its founding, and even before, the ideals of the United States have been about freedom and opportunity. America, where anyone can make something of themselves - but who's going to clean the toilets? Who's going to work long days in the fields, getting paid little to nothing, so that someone else can make a profit? The answer has been, for the length of the country's history, immigrants and slaves - but how are you going them down on the farm when they've heard freedom ring? Educate them into believing that's where they're supposed to be."
