So I'm retaking the ACT September 12 and decided that the best way to prepare would be to attend the math and science ACT prep classes.
This morning, my mom dropped my off at 9:45 so I could make it to the science ACT Prep class.
Then I had I sat in the Marks eating lunch with Illy before stopping by Starbucks to get a Passion Tea Lemonade and going to senior seminar at 12:20. Today we had Mrs.Mendoza (the school guidance counseler) direct the class.
Right afterwards I had English where we had our discussion questions and then had a group reading and worksheet to complete for Chapter 29.
In Government, we turned in our tweets and presented our amendments before doing a worksheet on the constitution and being assigned partners for a court-case research project.
After class, I went to the UC to eat some rice and read where I ended up sitting with Ben for a bit.
Then I decided to wait on my mom outside the music building since it was nice day.
After she got off, we went home, ate dinner, and watched some TV.

I also decided today that I would get back to working out. So I made a schedule.
- Caitlyn and I will run every morning (Monday-Friday) at 6:15 AM
- I joined some fitness groups on campus at the Foy
- I'll be taking 4 hours of dance a week
- I set up a monthly workout plan to complete on my own

So this should be exciting :)

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...
