10 Little Minions of Myself

To have 10 clones of myself and retain their memories would be astounding and very helpful. First off I would have 5 of  them study each subject I have, History, Algebra 2, English, Biology, and Spanish, very intensely. Then later I will retrieve that knowledge and remember it for midterms and hope for a high B or an A. I would have another clone work with me or at a different time that me at my job. Then I could save more money faster for a car and Driver Ed classes and then eventually gas. The seventh one would read some Poe, Cummings, Shakespeare and the original Grimm  stories because I have been meaning and wanting to do that for quite some time. The eighth would draw with different mediums and finish writing some of my poems and learn all about art history. This one will do the things I love to do to calm down and let me mind wander, which is something I have been meaning to do as well.  My tenth and last minion of myself would learn all it could on microbiology, viruses, and HIV/AIDS. I’m learning some stuff and doing much in my microbiology labs dealing with HIV and AIDS and its fascinating, especially the DNA mutations(Delta 32, TG5 mutations), and I would love to learn more about it. The clones of myself would be very beneficial to me with expanding my knowledge and filling my mind with wonderful information.

Dream Escape

My dream island would consists of just the few things that make me feel at ease and happy. To start off there would be a room that would look small on the outside but in, it would contain millions and millions of books. There would be genres ranging from fantasy fiction to scientific papers even. Classic books of all kinds would be there and of course many being about poetry. Connected to this wonderful library of mine would be a coffee/bakery/ice cream shop but nothing like anyone had ever seen before. I could make myself any hot beverage with the freshest ingredients from coffee beans to herbs for tea. Fresh  baked goods would always be ready for my tasting, mostly chocolate related pastries. The ice cream part would contain exotic, unique flavors but of course the classic flavors would be there, too.

One might think, ‘How could this get better? Books and ice cream. What else would one need in life?’ Just wait it can be better. Now connected to these rooms is a drawing room lined with art supplies and writing utensils as far as the eye can see. Beautiful natural light pours in through huge windows, ceiling to floor despite the time of day or night. A rustic feel comes from the room but it stills feel light and organic. A writing desk and easel are where the magic happens. I can write and draw as much as my heart wants without any trouble or interruption. A majestic, wonderful place that would be that I can call my own.
