Hey guys!

So although we went out for dinner for my brother's 14th birthday yesterday, today was his actual birthday!! 14... wow.

Anyway, for the past 4 years, my biggest "tradition" for his birthday was sticky notes. The first year, I just put one in his lunchbox. But over the years, I've filled his entire door with Happy Birthday sticky notes, a Sticky Note Yellow Brick Road, and a house sticky note invasion... This year I woke up at 4:30 AM (to make sure it was done before he woke up) to make a sticky note big 14 on his door :)

I also managed to get a little dressed up since I was up so early. I wore a blue dress, tights, and my light pink scarf.

At 7:00, Heather picked me up for school and we dropped off her brother before getting to campus.

I stayed on the computer working on some homework and stuff until English at 1:45 where we turned in our weekend assignment, finishing the Canterbury Tales, and took notes on Sonnets and Shakespeare, since that'll be our last unit.

In Government, we had a test and I'm not too sure how I did but that's okay.

At 5:45, Heather dropped me off at the Parks & Rec downtown where I had my Mayor's Youth Council meeting from 6-7. We just reviewed last weeks City Council Meeting and then split into our groups for our community project.

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...
