I've come to realize that although I'm not a morning person, I do like waking up around 7ish and starting my day around 8. Obviously that was the case this morning sine my mom and I wanted to stop by the Farmer's Market downtown before she had to go to work at 10.

I decided that since I would spending some time outside I'd wear a dress, one of the ones my mom gave me actually. (: Then I did the dishes because I didn't feel like doing them last night.
I ate toast with nutella for breakfast and watched an episode of "The Bold and The Beautiful" (a literal soap opera) with my mom since it's sort of our morning ritual.

Anyway, we went to the market and it was just GREAT <3!

The first thing we did was get a cute basket that you can fill up with as much vegetables as you want and the first time you use it, it's $10 and if you bring back the basket, you can keep filling it up for $9. It's a really great deal since it's fresh vegetables and the amount that we got probably would have cost $20 at Walmart.

I also ran into Jana, our first year TA at Watauga. She had her own booth with her art/prints, they were really cool! Plus it was nice to catch up, I love her<3

My mom and I spent some time just walking around, looking at the cute booths and talking. We even ran into one of the ladies that goes to the church my mom works at, Mrs. Renee, who had her own booth of flowers and jams! We ended up getting a parsley plant, a hanging basket of flowers, and some Elderberry syrup. It was great!

After putting our buys in the car, we stopped by a cute new coffee shop on the corner of Strawberry Alley, Hops Java & Juice. It's a super cute place! I bought my mom and I two iced lattes, which were great!

Overall, it was a wonderful morning. And tonight, David is coming over for a movie night with pizza. Him and I have been having these for months now, pretty much ever since we became good friends. I love them, they're just our little friendship thing (that we share with our other friends haha). So yeah, it seems to be a good day so far and it's only 10:30! :)

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...
