"If I Close My Eyes in Class" by Alexandra K. relates to me so much, I almost felt like I was describing my own experiences in class. They are filled with the desire to leave class and how sometimes their mental and physical state can be in two different places at once. This happens to me in class as well. In class, I can be there taking notes or watching the teacher, but in reality, my mind is somewhere at a concert rocking out or remembering a certain part of a book. Like the author, I try to focus and try to attain information, but after a while, it seems about impossible to me. Alexandra K. describes their presence in school so intricately, between how they ant to escape to the peace of the halls to the way school is engraved in their mind.
