keep your heels high and your standards higher

Hello friends(:

I set my alarm last night to 7:30, but since I stayed up until 2 AM watching Gossip Girl, I didn't get out of bed until 8. Thought it'd be better to get ready right away before going downstairs to eat breakfast. Mom and I watched a tv show episode together and then cleaned the house.



At 10:15, Heather pulled into my driveway and we went out for coffee and catching up. Ha. It's been eleven days, so much. But it was fun. We stopped by Kohls first for her to do some shopping for a sibling before going to Starbucks. We sat in the corner booth until noon and then she brought me home. The storm was really going at this point so we got soaked even though I had my dandy umbrella my mom got me.



Being home at 12:45, I left with Mom and Alexander since he had a tuba lesson and mom had errands to run. So we dropped him off before going to the bank, Starbucks (to get a $1 pastry/treat), and then Publix, where I got a new plant, Polka. (:



By 4, we were home and the storm had cleared so we all ate a little snack.


After changing into my pajamas, my family ate tacos and I made myself dinner: crab, rice and green beans. It was pretty great. 



The rest of my evening, I spent sprawled out on the couch with a cozy blanket thrown over me, watching Pretty Little Liars.

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...
