I go on wandering this huge yet simultaneously small world, wondering why, in fact, I have come to see the day.

Thoughts from the Inkwell
“There’s a certain slant of light,
On winter afternoons,
That oppresses, like the weight
Of cathedral tunes.Heavenly hurt it gives us;
We can find no scar,
But internal difference
Where the meanings are.None may teach it anything,
‘Tis the seal, despair,-
An imperial affliction
Sent us of the air.When it comes, the landscape lightens,
”
Shadows hold their breath;
When it goes, ‘tis like the distance
On the look of death.

As much as we hate TOK, there’s no denying that we’re a family.
Some of us juniors have schedules so full we can’t fit TOK in them. (For example, I’m taking both IB Chemistry and IB Physics as electives, so I can’t take TOK.) So, our wonderful IB coordinator is running an after-school TOK session for juniors who don’t have TOK and for seniors who need more hours or an audience to which they can present their presentations.
All of us then gather on select Mondays after school to unite in our hatred of TOK talk about the ways of knowing and the areas of knowledge and all that. I’ve noticed recently, though, that after-school TOK has become more of a bonding session than an actual IB-related thing.
Not to get sentimental or anything, but we’ve become a family.
As is illustrated by my hosting at my house the inaugural TOK movie night. We’re watching (tentatively) Lost in Translation (provided I can get a copy), The Truman Show, and Inception (of course!). (Possibly also Shine.)
According to the IB coordinator, we’ll be having awesome discussions in between movies. Also, there will be pizza and snacks. I’m thinking this is going to be an all-day thing. With anyone else, I would say no. But with my TOK family? ALL THE YES.
