Ello friends!! :)

This morning I woke up at 9 AM, made myself some breakfast, and watched several YouTube videos before plopping myself in my nook on the couch with a nice warm cup of coffee.

Then, I pretty much spent the next 3-4 hours on Pinterest on my tablet, as well as various social media links (i.e. Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook). So that took up a good chunk of my time.

Around 1 pm, Mark, my dad, and Alexander woke up and ate "breakfast" while I ate a nice bowl of rice. Deciding it was best for me to start on my homework, Alexander and my dad started putting up the Christmas tree in our living room.

At 2 pm, my mom came home to a put-together Christmas tree with lights on it.

I managed to finish my homework and then spent my time looking at various productivity tips and planner printable's on Pinterest as well as clearing up my phone to download some productivity apps.

In fact, this upcoming week, I'm going to see how well these apps are and then I'll probably make a post dedicated to them. (:

At 6, we ate a VERY early dinner. Like guys, we never eat dinner before 7 pm usually. But we had really good spaghetti that my mom made.

Finally, I've been spending the rest of my time playing around on these apps and social media.

All in all, it was a pretty lazy, care-free day.

Tomorrow, I return to school and to my surprise, I'm sort of disappointed. Not because I'm going back to school but because the break is over. If that makes any sense. This Thanksgiving break really made me excited for Christmas break because I'm so tired. At any rate, I need to get to bed early since I have an early morning. :)

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...
