It's Been A While

June 2, 2015



Hey guys!

So as some of you know, I started a YouTube (BookTube) channel!

It's been very exciting since I absoluetly love books! The problem is that editing and filming take a LOT of time and since I don't want to cut out hobbies or plans, I'm left with very little time for blogging.

But I've found a solution...

Instead of blogging every day as I tried, I'm going to choose a particular day where I will blog. I may turn this into a twice a week thing. Although I'm unsure what these two days will be, I want to at least make sure I blog twice a week before setting days.

Regardless, I haven't blogged in a good while so I'm simply going to update on whats been going on and whats going to happen...

1. As I previously stated, I started a BookTube channel where I plan to post videos about books such as monthly wrap ups, hauls, tags, discussions, and reviews. It's very fun and I love the filming/editing process as well as getting feedback so when you're done reading this blog you should go check out my channel HERE.

2. I have been and will be working weekends. I work in a mall at one of those kiosks in the middle as a Promotional Model for Barbizon (a modeling and acting school). It's great, it's only weekends, I get to choose if I want to work that weekend and it pays higher than minimum wage so basically it's perfect. The drive is a bit of a hassle, but I enjoy the ladies I work with and usually my team leader is pretty great as well.

3. I will begin volunteering at my local library this summer every Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Obviously, I'm a HUGE fan of books and I absolutely love libraries. I decided that volunteering there would be great for several reasons: A) I get volunteer hours which will look good on a college application. B) I'm thinking of going to college to study English to become either a Journalist or a Librarian so work experience in that field will be a great opportunity. C) I want to work at that library while I'm in college so being trained by them and being a familiar face can't hurt.

4. I will be going to Watauga June 14-27, so I probably won't blog at all while I'm there so that's just a heads up. I'm super excited about it though since this year I'm participating in the Dance department. I know it will be lots of fun!

5. Summers are when I binge read. I try to read at least one book a day, if not more. So I spend a lot of time reading since it's harder for me to read through out the school year. I am currently at 89/200 on my Goodreads reading challenge so that's exciting but I'm a few books behind schedule.

So that's it for what's been going on and what will be happening soon! Comment below what's up in your life! <333

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...
