Final Exhibition Day!!!

So breakfast was at 8:30, our last one all together. Then I had a cello "lesson"/warm-up with Dr.Lara to practice for my performance at 9:30, followed by dance rehearsal with Margaret to go through Piper's and my solo and duet.

Piper and I then went back to her dorm room to begin our hair and makeup until my mom came for checkout which was at 11. So I got all my suitcases and bags out of my room before turning in my key card and dorm room key, I got to keep the lanyard. :)

Andrea, Austin, Margaret, Dr. Zyko, Noel, Eli, Piper, Avery, and I ate lunch in the Terrace where they had pizza. Shortly before we all left, Kyle came by as well. We all got to Trahern around 1, where we saw the Art Exhibition before getting ready/warming up...

The program went:

1. My Ballet Solo
2. Piper's Ballet Solo
3. Art Talk
4. Avery & Grace's Duet
5. Illy's Singing Solo
6. Piper's & My Modern Duet
7. Theatre Showcase

9. My Cello Piece
10. Piper's Cello Piece
11. Kyle's Singing Solo

It was a little heartbreaking. I will miss them all so much. We are family<33
I cried. There. In the car. At home. That night. A lot.

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...

Vegetarianism : A Lifestyle

Leo Tolstoy, Martina Navratilova, Plutarch, Steve Jobs, Mary Shelley, Sylvester Graham, Upton Sinclair, Thomas Edison, Natalie Portman, Benjamin Franklin, Prince, Rosa Parks, Paul McCartney, Mike Tyson, and Ellen DeGeneres. What are the correlation between these people when they range through different time periods and areas of fame, one may ask? The common factor among them all was vegetarianism. A vegetarian is a person who does not eat meat, and sometimes other animal products, especially for moral, religious, or health reasons. The term “vegetarian” in itself is a very broad one for a non-meat eater, in that there are no technical restrictions merely a focus on plant-based foods, which is why there are different types of vegetarians. First, there is the plain vegetarian whose diet consists of absolutely no meat. The strictest of them all, Vegan, can be defined as a diet or a lifestyle in that vegans don’t eat any animal products whatsoever including dairy and try to avoid animal ...
