College Registration Day

May 11, 2015

Hey guys! So today was a pretty average Monday, very nice and calm. It began with me waking up at 8 AM and getting dressed in palazo pants, a black tank top and a denim jacket paired with some sandals. I packed my lunch when I came downstairs and ate breakfast after. I had a meeting at 9:30 to register for my college classes and receive my high school classes.
Monday/Wednesday/Friday:
Media, Society and The Individual (College)
Senior Study (High School)
English (High School)
US Government and Civics (High School)
Tuesday/Thursday:
Psychology (College)
Physics (High School)
Advanced Algebra/Trig (High School - can receive college credit if I pass a certain test, sort of like AP classes)
So basically I have two more classes next year than I did this year and I'll have more extra curricular activities since I'll have Cello, Voice, Dance, and Orchestra. But I ended up having a few classes with both Channel and Emilia so that's nice. Next, the three of us went to Johnny's (the local diner across the street from campus) for Emilia to pick up some lunch and then we spend the duration of our time outside, eating lunch until our next class. In Algebra, we finished the movie "A Beautiful Mind", which was fabulous and I loved it a lot. My last class of the day was Chemistry but since I'm exempt from the exam and the class was spent working on an exam review, my teacher said I was a ' tutor ' when in reality, I spent the period waiting to be dismissed haha. Heather brought me home and we had talked a lot in the car, which was nice. So yeah, pretty 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...

Vegetarianism : A Lifestyle

Leo Tolstoy, Martina Navratilova, Plutarch, Steve Jobs, Mary Shelley, Sylvester Graham, Upton Sinclair, Thomas Edison, Natalie Portman, Benjamin Franklin, Prince, Rosa Parks, Paul McCartney, Mike Tyson, and Ellen DeGeneres. What are the correlation between these people when they range through different time periods and areas of fame, one may ask? The common factor among them all was vegetarianism. A vegetarian is a person who does not eat meat, and sometimes other animal products, especially for moral, religious, or health reasons. The term “vegetarian” in itself is a very broad one for a non-meat eater, in that there are no technical restrictions merely a focus on plant-based foods, which is why there are different types of vegetarians. First, there is the plain vegetarian whose diet consists of absolutely no meat. The strictest of them all, Vegan, can be defined as a diet or a lifestyle in that vegans don’t eat any animal products whatsoever including dairy and try to avoid animal ...
