Apparently I have an internal alarm clock that forces me to wake up after 7 am but before 8 am.
Basically I woke up at 7:30 this morning. Came downstairs, made breakfast and went to my laptop to read some blogs, news, etc. I also managed to edit a my blog :)



Then, my mom and I watched a TV show before she left for Choir practice.



I decided to finally wake up my brother around noon (like really?), and had him come downstairs to eat some breakfast. He asked if we could have a little bit of coffee, which was perfect because there was only a little bit left, and I helped him make it. It was fun :)


After eating my lunch I decided to wrap some christmas presents I had in my room. Honestly, I just shove all the gifts I get people in my closet because no one ever goes in there and if they did, they'd never come out...
I also put some new ornaments on the tree that are for each of us, I didn't want to put them in the stockings and risk them breaking. And they'd be too hard to wrap. 



My parents both came home around 2:30, made themselves some lunch and watched some TV shows.

I decided to spend the remainder of my day reading The Ocean At The End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman and The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey with some pfeffernusse and coffee. :)

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...
