library memory

So I know it’s the most obvious metaphor but I really love Will’s Library memory. It’s funny and clever; I can picture the author having these images of his own library memory. I can relate to this though.. in a way at least. My sophomore year in high school I was in band, and I had rekindled a relationship with a girl who was my best friend in first grade, but when we didn’t have the same teacher in second we lost touch, we were acquaintances and didn’t have anything against each other, but in a school the size of ours if you didn’t have classes or time with people you lost touch with them. Well we had band together and we played first part together most of the time. Anyway we started talking about we viewed things in our head, like the shape. For instance we viewed our weeks similarly. IF I could pull out the image of how I viewed my week it would kind of look like a spiral, and each ring on the spiral was Monday through Sunday (although I think the week starts on Sunday I picture it this way because I kind of clump my weekends into one). The way I picture my year is really funny, even to me. My Year is kind of the shape of a horse shoe, and depending on the time of my year is where I’m standing, the gap is between December and January. Right now It is April, and since I always look toward the middle of the horse shoe, if you were to look at me standing in my year from the ends of the horse show I would look like I’m standing on the right side of the shoe facing the left side. I’m not a visual person at all as you can tell, this is why I’m doing so well with Chemistry, because it’s not about visual things at all. – I’ll figure out away to make it visual if I have to take it again at Raymond Walters, blah even if it drives me nuts! Sorry I didn’t say much about the Library memory, it’s pretty self-explanatory and we’ve talked about it quite a bit.
