Pope John Paul II High School - Science Olympiad Invitational

Well last night I was throwing up ALL THROUGHOUT the night. So I only got maybe a solid two hours of sleep and had to wake up at 4:30... At 5:30, my mom and I left the house to go to Austin Peay to meet with Science Olympiad to go to Pope John Paul II High School for our Invitational Mock Competition. I got sick several times along the journey but we finally got there at 7:45 and our first competition was at 8.



First for me was Invasive Species with Kimberly from 8:00-8:50. The test was pretty hard since we didn't have a list of the species and were expected to name 15 of them off a screen within seconds.Directly afterwards was Anatomy with Gabby from 9:00-9:50 which I know we did well at because she is practically a walking, talking Anatomy text book.

Thankfully then I had a little lunch break to prepare for Green Generation which was at 11:00-11:50. Now that, went awful because Whitney and I thought we had all the right kind of information and didn't.



Then was Astronomy from 12:00-12:50 which was THE WORST. Bristol and I didn't even finish the test. Forensics went a lot better but we didn't have enough time to complete the tests, so we had to do a lot of guess work.



On the bus ride home, I was so mentally exhausted that I managed to get about 20 minutes of sleep but kept getting woken up by the loud noises on the bus. When we got back to APSU, mom and I decided to meet up with my Dad and Alexander at a restaurant for us to eat dinner and it was fun(: Alexander got a haircut so that was cool.



Then when we got home, my brother and I decided to have some bonding time by playing monopoly for like 4 hours. It was so fun! (:

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...
