Today I had an Algebra test first thing in the morning, which went well, I got an 86...can't complain.

Then I hung out with Gabby, Heather, Brittany, and Ben at the UC before my Psychology class where I did nothing but look up vegetarian meals (again). 

I managed to swing by Starbucks and grab a coffee before Physics, which didn't last long because it's fall break next week and we did as much as we were going to get done today.

Afterwards, I hung out with Brittany and Heather in the library to get some work done (I finished Brittany and my Physics project that's due after fall break so that's out of the way). When they both got out of class, Heather dropped me off at the library for a Teen Advisory Board meeting.

It was so fun, we made Box Drops for the teen section. So my group took a box, covered it with black paper, and wrote our favorite quotes and glued them around the box. It ended up looking really neat. 

I also may or may not have splurged and checked out 12 books... Ha. Oops?

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?

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...
