“La sirena y el pescador,” Elisa Chavez.

Hey all! This poem is part of my chapbook Miss Translated, which I produced in a limited run as Town Hall Seattle’s Spring 2017 artist-in-residence. The main conceit behind this work is that to accurately portray my relationship with Spanish, I have to explore the pain and ambiguity of not speaking the language of my grandparents and ancestors. As a result, these poems are bilingual … sort of. Each one is translated into English incorrectly.

The poems I produced have secrets, horrific twists, emotional rants, and confessions hiding in the Spanish. It’s my hope that people can appreciate them regardless of their level of Spanish proficiency.

A demonstration of the physics of inertia. (Source)

So I made an AMV for the first time ever because I can’t contain my love for these two

Some other things worth noting (not all about high school):

-They go to school around 240 days a year

-High schoolers can get home as late as 11 or 12 every night because of club activities and other like things

-in schools and hospitals, people change into indoor shoes 

-THEY DON’T HAVE SCHOOL BUSES

-People commute to school and work by bus, bicycle, train, or foot. 

-Around commuting time, the trains are so full you can’t even move around in them (making it easier to be molested)

-The main religion in Japan is Shintoism and Buddism so if you wanna write about religion do your research

-otaku is a degrading term in Japan like weeaboo is a degrading term BEING AN OTAKU IS NOT A GOOD THING, REPEAT, BEING AN OTAKU IS NOT A GOOD THING

I could go on and on but I have other matters to attend to and I can’t.

basic japanese high school schedule for you, fic writers

students attend class from monday thru saturday, with saturday being a half day. sundays are off

the high school day usually runs from 8:30am to 3pm, but many students stay after for after school clubs or attend cram school in the evening

the school year runs from april to march with a summer break come the end of july. first term is from april to july, second term is from september to december, and third term runs from january to march

your favorite high school anime doesn’t have separate classrooms for no reason. japanese students don’t rotate classes like american students do; instead, they have a fixed classroom and class number (i.e., 3-A), and the teachers do the rotating

they also don’t have the same classes every day

they do still have homeroom teachers; however, “homeroom” is more of a class meeting at the end of the day rather than at the beginning

the students are required to help clean the school at the end of the school day before clubs start

school uniforms are a thing for high schoolers. dress code used to be much stricter but recently they’ve allowed more basic alterations to the uniform

please stop writing them like american schools you’re embarrassing yourself

“The director of the first film, Andrew Adamson, was very focused on preserving real emotion, on seeing things for the first time, and having, like, a real sense of wonder.“ 

“So he didn’t actually show me the set of Narnia where the lamppost is until we shot it. I was blindfolded and guided into my place, and he told me to just walk around, that the camera would follow me.”

“And so I turned around and I saw it for the first time. It was in a studio but it was ri-dic-ul-ous-ly real. I couldn’t get my head around it. And so what you see is my real reaction to everything. It was incredible.”
