This morning I woke up at 7 AM and finished my book "A Shortcut in Time" by Charles Dickinson. Then I decided to go for a run at 8, which was definitely difficult. I need to get back in shape - but don't worry, I'm working on it.
When I got back home, I had to take a shower and afterwards, I ate a bagel, toast and an apple for breakfast. :)
Since I was on a roll with my productivity, I did the dishes and my laundry before practicing my cello. Yep, this all happened before noon. I was proud.
Then I ate lunch - two sandwiches on wheat bread with cream cheese, spinach, and ham. 
My dads friend decided to come by and make my parents a meal for their anniversary so mom and I ran by Walmart to get the ingredients and the library for me to return some books. 
When we got back, they got to cooking while I sat upstairs reading "A ClockworkOeange" by Anthony Burgess and listened to Moztart on vinyl. I managed to finish it before dinner so that was cool. The rest of my evening was spent hanging out with my parents and going to bed at 10:30 since I have an early morning tomorrow. :)

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...
