So my schedule was changed. Since I had a higher math score on testing, they made me drop my Communications/Media class to take a year-round College Algebra course. I can still take my communications class next semester but it's still upsetting... Oh well, nothing to do now. My schedule as of today is...:

MWF
Senior Seminar (only Friday's) 12:20-1:35
English 1:45-3:00
Government 3:10-4:25

TR
College Algebra 8:00-9:25
Psychology 11:15-12:35
Physics 12:45-2:35

So my classes still somewhat fit the day (humanities MWF and maths TR) so that's alright.
This morning I had to get to campus around 9:30 since they checking out textbooks until 10, but the only book I needed for my high school classes was Physics and I'll get my college textbooks sometime next week.

Then I didn't have a class until 12:45 so I just hung out with some of my friends (Illy from Watauga is now going to Middle College!!!) until classes started.
Physics wasn't so bad, granted it was only the first day BUT we had a lab to create a whirligig. If you guys didn't know, I HATE HATE HATE HATE making things. I'd rather write a 10 page essay on how to make something than actually make it. So my partner, Brittany, managed to actually make the whirligig (of course I helped, but it was minimal) and then I said I'd write the lab report which is due next Tuesday.

That was pretty much it. Then at 4, David and Giulia picked me up from campus and we went to Starbucks to hang out since David is transferring to Knoxville this semester and is moving this Saturday... My mom says it's the end of an era, obviously she's being a bit dramatic but it will be very sad losing one of my best friends. Heather ended up meeting us there and we all hung out until about 5:30, and he drove me back to campus.

On another note, I got my replacement phone since we had insurance (if you don't remember, I completely shattered my screen while at Watauga) so that was great :)

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...
