Silke's Lunch

Wednesday: January 21, 2015

     My mom is pretty much my best friend, we pretty much are together all the time since I don't drive and she works at the university that I go to middle college at, so we're always in the car and spend a majority of our time together. But if we ever have time to just grab a coffee or go for lunch to hang out and talk, we take the opportunity. Today, we went out for lunch during my break in between classes and my mom's break in between lessons. There is an adorable German bakery in our town, Silke's and it is absolutely delicious. Here is some footage I got today... 














Sweets are my weak spot.


TRUFFLES MADE WITH ALCOHOL!!!!!







I ordered a delicious fromage sandwich with a side of grapes and a pepsi, while my mom had black coffee and a bread bowl lentil soup. 

(I'm hoping to get a USB cable soon for my camera but until then you must suffer the bad quality of iPhone pictures)


After finishing my meal, I ordered a hot cafe mocha to go and it was a great companion to my following class.

Oh yes and random story of the day:
While my mom and I are in rather deep random conversation, a women of about the age of 60 or so, approaches us from behind, circles our table and gets about 5 inches away from my moms face and says "Do you know me?" while staring intensley into her eyes...
My mom replied "Um, I'm sorry, no?"
Where the lady says "They call me sweet Mary, does that ring a bell?"
Again my mom says "I don't think so..."
"Oh, well they also call me crazy Mary too," the old lady says and walks away discreetly with her friend, of about the same age....
It was so strangely peculiar and probably the oddest thing I've ever experienced.

Other than that, it was a phenomenal lunch and to anyone who lives in the area and knows the place or of it should really try it out! :)

Hamlet Accountable Talk

1.Did Hamlet really go crazy? How does this connect to his wavering between action and inaction? Why doesn’t Hamlet just kill Claudius? Is he just a man who needs assurance beyond a doubt of Claudius’ guilt? Is he unable to take action because the opportunity never presents itself? Is he simply a coward? What are Hamlet’s true motivations for even pursuing the murder of Claudius? Is it Fear? Revenge? Love? Loyalty/Obligation? I’m not entirely sure if Hamlet was necessarily crazy rather than experiencing a devastating tragedy at such a young age. His reaction to “play crazy” was that of a child’s; playing make-believe is very much a child’s way of dealing with such dramatic events. “To put an antic disposition on, That you, at such times seeing me, never shall, With arms encum’red thus, or this headshake, Or by pronouncing of some doubtful phrase” (lines 172-174) is how he tells Horatio and Marcellus his plan. In a very child-like game, he tells them he will play pretend and they mus...

Chapters 14-16 (Creature's POV) - Entry #4

After Frankenstein abandons the creature, other than our short encounter in the woods when Victor is returning from Geneva, we are not exposed to him again until Victor’s retreat to the mountains. In chapter eleven, the creature opens his tale saying he is not quite sure of the beginning of his being; his initial memories and sensations began with his retreat to the woods after Frankenstein’s apartment. Living off berries and nuts, the creature was confused but learning survival skills along the way, including how to set and maintain a fire. I found this lonely encounter may have been initially good for the creature because it allowed him to figure out his surroundings of this new life he was brought into; however, keeping in mind while he is the great, big creature, he is very much in the dark about life and society itself, and without Victor to help him, he was completely and utterly alone. Agreed - the reflection gives the reader time to know the character rather than meet who Vict...
