Stressed Out Monday


April 20, 2015

I don't know about you guys, but the end of the school year is always so stressful for me. I woke up at 7:30 today, got dressed in a black sweater with my denim shirt underneath, blue jeans and my plain black shoes with white laces. I made my lunch and then ate a somewhat breakfast (a small slice of pizza and a Special K Bar) and then left with my mom. 
In EOC Prep, Emilia and I were put in the same group to do a Chemistry EOC Packet review and then we were given our benchmarks from Chemistry class last Friday and had to finish our test analysis before we could leave.
Next, I had lunch with Emilia and finished an online Stoichiometry test for Chemistry and a mini practice EOC test for Algebra. I had to reschedule my cello lesson because I didn't really have time to practice this week when she had given me a lot to work on and I had tons of things to get done today during lunch. 
Emilia and I then walked to our Algebra class where we were put into our groups (I was in the same one as Channel) and we worked on more EOC practice tests.
Finally I had Chemistry and I worked with Emilia and Heather on three EOC practice worksheets before we were allowed to leave class.
Heather (thankfully) took me home where I finished my English paper comparing Tim O'Brien's chapter "The Man I Killed" in "The Things We Carried" to "The Man He Killed" by Thomas Hardy. By the time I finished that, it was time to eat dinner and my dad had made delicious pork chops with mashed potatoes and gravy. 
I finished my Algebra homework and then completed some of the online History quizzes I needed to do. 
 Next week are the EOC tests, then the week after that I have my college final, then prom (maybe), then two weeks later I have all my high school finals (hopefully I end up with just one).
So yeah that's that. 
I want to apologize in advance if I don't blog as much. I've been having a very hectic and stressful time. 
Anyway, hope you guys are having a good day! :)

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...
