This morning I was suppose to go running with Caitlyn but we ended up canceling.
Instead, I got ready, ate breakfast, and got my things together before leaving at 7:15.
Now that I have a locker in the UC, it makes my life a lot easier than before, but I stopped by to switch out somethings before heading to Algebra. In class all we had was a test so when we finished we were allowed to leave. Emilia ended up going home since she drives now but Gabby, Heather, and I went to the UC to do some homework and talk. Heather left around 9:45 so Gabby and I spent the remainder of the time talking about literature and our education system so that was fun. (:

Next, I had Psychology and OH. MY. GOD. it's so hard for me to even keep my eyes open in that class. No offense to my professor, but his voice is so monotonous... Anyway, we were 15 pages from completing chapter three before class ended.

I decided to stop by Einstein's for some coffee since Starbucks is momentarily shut down and ended up paying $6.22 for a large Pumpkin White Chocolate Mocha. It was so overpriced but at least it was good! (:

My last class was Physics where we had a mini-quiz and a lab to complete.

Finally, I walked to the music building to drop off my stuff in my locker and then walked to the car to get my cello to walk all the way back to have my cello lesson. It went well :).

My mom got off at 4:15 and we went to the Middle School to pick up my brother from band, drop him off at home, and then my mom dropped me off at my first Mayor's Youth Council Meeting. It was interesting and I'm exciting to begin some projects! Claire, a girl I went to Rossview with, was there and gave me a ride to my mom's meeting at the Women's Club so that was nice. And then for the rest of the night I worked on my Physics and Government homework. It's been a long few days lately.

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...
