College Research



Looking into colleges is both exciting and overwhelming...

I woke up this morning at 7 AM and for some reason I woke up in the mood to looking into colleges which is exactly what I did until about 10:45. With so much to consider, these are my main concerns/questions:

1. Do they have my major or other possibilities if I change my mind?

2. TUITION, TUITION, TUITION and SCHOLARSHIPS, SCHOLARSHIPS, SCHOLARSHIPS

3. Distance, is it close to home but not too close? (This isn't a key factor because I'd like to go to university in state but I'm considering boarding states as well)

4. Living options... Dorming can sometimes be a slim amount less than tuition so are there affordable apartments near campus?

5. Do I like the campus and the city it's in or the surrounding area?

Honestly it's just a lot to look into, I have about 8-10 schools on my list both in and out of state so I'll probably apply to them all and see how it all ends up.


So this morning my first thought was "It's July 1st.. two and a half months of summer is too long, I need to go back to school." Ha. I know that's weird but I really love school, I love reading and studying and learning new things. Yes, I was semi-burnt out by the end of this school year (and now after Watauga) but I'm really excited to start my senior year and all the classes. (:

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...
