I really dont know what to post about... Self Submission? Sewing? Unrelated plot devices?

Sorta struggling with the synthesis essay.  Finding it a little difficult to manipulate the words to my whims.  Almost want to go and watch Redgreen for a little bit then come back.  I have the content, I just got to weave it together.  Also, why is it at times like this I get marvelous ideas for stories and yet lame ideas for my essay....  I'd hit myself into submission but that would accomplish little to nothing.  For one, due to the position of my arms on my body, it would take multiple blows to subdue myself.  And two, it would waste valuable time I could be using to formulate a plan of action.  Alas, my thread has yet to meet my needle (its hard getting a needle started with thread).  Technically, the plan is already made.  It just needs to be applied.  ...Dangit, another story idea...  Should the main character die part way through?  Should I make a stupid and unexpected plot twist and the end?  Argh, the list goes on and on to haunt me....   Its funny how when I'm goofing around and writing its as easy as making a bowl on a pottery wheel but when it gets serious, I get a pseudo-stagefright thing going on.  I hope my chances of passing this class are better than a fart in a whirlwind...

Also, that discussion was a bit weird today. I doubt I was the only one who felt awkward.

P.S.  I think Joe should do morse code with his pecks... just sayin'.  If he still has pecks...

My Brain Hurts (Again)

I really do not like writing expository essays. I am a creative person, not a politician, i don't know how to express things really well in the "correct" way.

There, this is my one "angry" post. Well, there might be another, but I doubt it.

Morse Cord

So I was reading the part in the book when the Man uses morse code to communicate back with Joe, and I found myself tapping my head on the back of my chair trying to mimmic what Joe would be doing, its very time consuming! Still I think its good to know!

Analysis essay

Writing this synthesis essay is making me feel... unpatriotic? That's really the only way I can describe it and its not the first time I thought that this class is a little anarchist based. But even if it is I cant say I'm not enjoying College English because its a different view that I've never seen before and I can see the backing behind the opinions that the government is manipulating everyone but I just think that our country is in real bad shape if we can't even trust our government.

And just something interesting I found out doing research for the analysis essay, Regina Spektor has a song called "Dulce et Decorum Est Pro Patria Mori" which is the phrase out of Owen's poem.

Synthesis RD Due Tomorrow

I won't have time to look at the Synthesis Essay this weekend because of all my other grading, so you guys don't need to turn it in till Monday.
Ms S

so...how about that class discussion?

i know ms. stariha said this at the end of class...but where she said he used sex as a metaphor for the war because we've experienced lust and those kinds of things. which i think is definitely true. but umm yes...ha

Joe is normal!

I'm trying to write my essay right now and I'm thinking...we are all just like Joe. When Joe says he cant sleep he really cant, but he is just like us. He is continually awake, and when he is quote on quote "sleeping" it is like when we daydream. That's how i see it anyway. So as i sit here daydreaming I guess i am making a connection with Joe. So either i am really screwed up like Joe or Joe isn't so different from us.

WOWWWW!

Today was probably the weirdesty class that i have ever been in before. Even the sex ed part of health class freshman year was better than today. I have to say that i have a new found respect for College English, because I am pretty sure that it has made me feel the most uncomfortable I have ever felt before lol I would also like to send a thank you out to laura for making me read the Rudy part over and over again because i was so disturbed by what he was saying. I wish we wouldnt have discussed today cause i was completely oblivious to what was going on. i was so tired last night that i think i was reading while sleeping, but thanks to class i have the full understanding. yay :/ lol
