Weekend

Sunday: February 22, 2015

BackTrackToSaturday: I did pretty much nothing except switch between watching YouTube, Mysteries of Laura and surfing through Pinterest. I was suppose to have my friends over, David, Ramona (foreign exchange student from Germany), and Hanna (foreign exchange student from Sweden), but because of all the icey-rain-mush, we decided it was for the best to cancel our plans.

Today: I woke up at about 7:30 and began with doing my makeup (same routine as posted previously) and changing into a maroon knit sweater, black knit sweater (my great-grandmother actually made it), plain light blue jeans, black and white polka dot socks, and navy blue leg-warmers(under my jeans). I prepared my bag and came downstairs to wait for Mr.George, a man from my church, to come pick me up to bring me. I am Greek Orthodox and today was in laymen's terms, Forgiveness Sunday, which marks the beginning of Lent. For us, we give up meat, dairy, and chocolate. I haven't been to church in a long time and although the excuse of being busy is too lame to give, time just started slipping more and more and I started going less and less. It was a beautiful service though and it felt very relieving to be in church. During our service's we are required to stand the entire service except for the Sermon and usually the service's last for about 2 hours but today it was a bit more because the Forgiveness service was separate. I saw one of my old friends, Martina, who is the youngest daughter of the priest and it felt extremely nice to catch up with her, as well as the others and meet "new-comers". After both services we had fellowship hour, we ate food brought from various people and drank some coffee while chit-chatting. Mr.George's daughter, Mrs.Heather, brought me home since she lives just a few miles away from me. Once home, I decided to grab some breakfast and almost immediately after, some lunch while watching an episode of Vampire Diaries and then some YouTube videos. Then my mom and I watched an episode of "Mysteries of Laura" while she cooked dinner and after a delicious meal of schnitzel and three cheese hash-brown's, we all watched The Walking Dead and The Talking Dead.  I know it seems like my family and I watch a lot of TV but I swear it's just because of this extended break. Oh and surprise, surprise, we don't have school tomorrow... I can't live like this anymore you guys.















greek and proud haha

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...
