i was living in my grandparents house on main street, in the room my brother usually got. i had just moved in and i was arranging my bedroom.
my bed took up almost the entire room, and i had a small desk in the corner at the foot of my bed.
the window beside me looked outside into a big fenced in yard with a shed in the back right corner and some trees.
it had been a complete mess, but someone in my family (i think my brother and dad) had cleaned it up and made it look nice again for my grandma (now deceased) with lots of pretty green grass and flowers around the edges.
it was nice and sunny out.
they made a small raised garden area with a bench for my grandma to sit in.
i saw her briefly out the window, puttering around the yard.
i wanted to put in a small water fountain for her, and was trying to visualize where it would look best.
i wanted to go down and say hi, but then i realized some homework was already due and i was now late for submitting it.
it was April 1st, and my homework was due on march 28th.
my teacher was in my grandparents room, so i went over to explain i had lost track of time but it was all done and could i just submit it late?
he said no, and i kept asking. i got upset with him and stormed back to my room.
the teacher was my old math teacher, a big polish guy. his english wasnt the best and it was so hard to learn an already difficult subject from him.
but i remember the homework being a series of social studies or english questions, with a research paper too. ugh.

A symbol of individuality—of private thoughts. The windows symbolize the possibility of understanding and of passing through to the external and
the beyond, and are also an illustration of any idea of communication. Hence, a

The legend about Danae, shut up by her father in a bronze tower, pertains to this
particular symbolism. There is a Siberian legend concerning a ‘dark house of iron’

of the eight emblems of good luck in Chinese Buddhism, and a symbol of wholeness, of the idea with no ‘exit’, or, in other words, of supreme intelligence triumphant over birth and death (signified respectively by the doors and windows of
the room) (5). This explains why the hermetically sealed room may possibly be
a variant form of the ‘vase with a lid’.

penetration, of possibility and of distance, and because it is square in shape, its
