Last Topic of the Year, due by Sunday, June 7:

Perhaps its time to pick out some favorite memories of Pine Point. Let us know about three (or two, or one, or fifty) of your fond memories of your time at our school. Don't worry about choosing a favorite. Just describe a few good memories. (Feel free to do more than one post as memories come back to you.)

Remember to check the rubrics (to the right). Contributions to the forum can be brief, but must be well thought out and carefully written. No typos or grammar errors, please.

Timmy's Post

I think that Ms. Olsen's talk relates to the poem "Exultation is the going" by Emily Dickinson. Ms. Olsen said that the people who had never experience being queer made fun of her because of their misunderstanding. This relates to the part of the poem talking about sailors understanding the "divine intoxication of the first league out for land." The sailors cannot understand something they have not encountered just as straight people cannot understand how queer people feel.
