Pizza. Popcorn. Mint. (courtesy of Ana)

Wednesday: February 11, 2015

During ACT Prep, we filled out our ACT bubble sheet with information including our address, emails, top 4 wanted-schools, college interest and general interest questionnaire. Then my friends, Channel, Emilia and I went to the UC to warm up our food and sat on the upper level with some Emily, Bristol, Cheyenne, Ana and Sam. We all talked about a variety of things from prom to having kids, interesting stuff haha. At some point we all recognized an odd smell, at which Ana said was pizza, popcorn, mint. At 1:15 we all walked over to Starbucks before our class. We took a quiz in Algebra so after our quiz we were allowed to leave. Emilia and I finished at the same time and walked over to the library to finish some work before walking to our 3:10 class, Chemistry, where we basically just took notes. Then Heather brought me home and I soon realized I left my lunch box in the science building of my last class. I called my best friend, Caitlyn, and asked her if she'd like to drive me over to check as well as catch up. She lives in my neighborhood so it only took her a few minutes to drive over to my house. We chit-chatted on our way there and once arriving, found that my lunch box was not even in the building ( I got an email from my professor a few hours later saying she had it in her car). Then Caitlyn and I drove over to Witch Which, where she works, to get two small chocolate shakes.

Starbucks army.

Found old pointe shoes and reminded me of how much I miss it.

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...
