Morning with Piper began as usual; Ballet and Modern with Kim, which were tremendously fun but tiring. Not to mention I had slipped in my room the night before because my roommate had taken a shower and by the time I got to the room, all the lights were off so I fell... Yeah it hurt.

Anyway, after lunch Piper and I both had our music lessons that Dr.Lara generously offered to drive us to the music building and back. When we got back to the dance building, we watched several dance videos with Marcus for "dance history", so that was pretty cool. :)

Interdisciplinary was average, I'm not a big fan of physically making objects so the project was a bit difficult for me. But it was still alright.

Next we had Yoga all together which was obviously so relaxing and wonderful. I love Yoga<3

Our final activity was "Super Fun Night" which we had in the courtyard of the dorms, playing games. There were board games (like twister), chalk, wiffleball, bubbles, and other silly things like that. We also had a scavenger hunt, played an improv theatre game called "Go", and learned a clapping song thing. Ending the evening with "Battle of Lyrics", we all went up to Switzerland and hung out as usual.

I ended up getting bitten alive by bugs so that was the only downer of the 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...
