Today, in my English/History block, our class had a Harlem Renaissance festival. The class was divided up into 4 main groups: art & poetry, music & dance, food, and fashion. I was in the food group, the biggest one; over half our class was in that group. But that's really okay because this is what we all brought to share with the class: turnip greens, fried chicken, cornbread, fried okra, iced tea, lemonade, barbeque chicken, banana cream pie, brownies, and lemon ice box pie. Yum =) I'm am still full from all of that.

Dumb response:
Teacher: What did you bring?
Me: Lemon ice box pie.
Teacher: So how does that relate to the Harlem Renaissance?
Me: Um.... People back then liked pie?

*Sigh* So anyway... Two of my friends did the music & dance portion. They spent 5 hours watching the beginning of "It's a Wonderful Life" to learn the choreography for the Charleston. It was amazing. They got all dressed up for it too. Girl had on this blue little flapper dress. It was cute. And boy had on this red and white striped shirt with a bowtie. I told girl to do the Milli Vanilli dance and claim that it was the dance of the 1920's, but to no avail. Um um um... what else... Oh yeah. Happy April 1st! Haha... just kidding... Happy April 1st!
