Well, this isn't that random, but it's definitely the most interesting thing that happened to me today:

I'm on the English Academic Team at my school, and we were supposed to all be meeting today. We did somewhat, but all the other members had to leave early, so it was just me and my teacher. One of the other girls and I had asked him to look up a poem for us once again, because the copy we had ended kind of abruptly and we though there might be more to it.

Well, there was, but he didn't get it printed until everyone else was leaving, so I was the only one to stay and read through it. From the first time I read the small portion I had before, I had found the poem really intriguing and already wanted to read more by the poet sometime. Well, after reading the entire poem, I can honestly say that it's probably my favorite poem out of any that I've read in my life. The title is "A Sincere Man Am I" by Jose Marti, by the way, if anyone cares. I don't really know how to explain it, but to me, he manages to convey everything within that poem that I've wanted to express in my own but have never been able to. For the rest of the meeting, my teacher and I just read through it and discussed the meaning behind each verse. I've been having a bad week up until now, but finding that poem managed to completely change my mood.

And wow, I rambled on a lot this time; I'm sorry. xD
