Rhetorical essay

Hmmm so I only have my intro done... And my brain has appeared to have shut down for the night. Soooo that might be all I am going to turn in tomorrow. Laaame sauce.

Stariha! You will be so proud of me!

Sooo Emily's post reminded me of this...

I went into the computer lab the other day during TAG and the sophomores were doing scheduling..

Annd...this one person asked me about Brit Lit

Annd...I recommended it

I told them it's not a class you can slack off in and just get by in by cramming at the last minute

I told them you have to make yourself sit down and actually study

And then they were like well what grade did you get in the class?

And I was like an A

And then they were like "well if you can get an A than so can I" (which I was kind of offended by)

But yeah...

I thought you would be proud

Buuuuut here is the best part

The person I recommended it to...

WAS A BOY!

On top of it all!

Would you believe it!

YOU ARE WELCOME!

Completely Screwed

well everyone, i will now fail the class, because i just lost my folder with all my important crap for this class so watch as my grade plummets this week....w

venting.

WEEEEEEELLLLLLL. So I know stariha is always like "tell the younger kids to take my classes".. but goodness, I dont think that I would ever tell someone to fill their whole schedule with difficult classes. stupid stuid me. Man I feel so stressed right now.. so much to do, and then on top of all that trying to decide on a college??.. I really wish that someone would just tell me where I am supposed to go, sooooo if anyone wants to tell me, thatd be great. and on top of all the things that I need to be doing, i just want to be outside because it so gosh darn gorgeous. ugh.

essay

Well I really dont know what to do for this whole analysis thing. Like I spent a good chunk of my afternoon attempting to write, want to know what I accomplished... NOTHING. I seriously just dont know what to say, or how to say, or how to write, or sometimes I feel like I dont even know how to speak englsih, I feel as if that is an issue. SO I sure hope that we have time to talk about this a little more in class or I am going to need to schedule conference time and actually go.
So where did we stand on the whole two or three drafts thing? Because my first draft is such crap I dont want to turn it in.

Sweet Summertime

This weather is making everything SO DIFFICULT! everywhere I go, the air smells like summer. That smelly smell the smelly smell when you smell it and it smells SMELLY. I can smell it. It makes me want to run, and ride my bike, and water ski...incidentally our pier is in now :) and go to work and make money and all the things I love about summer. It does not however make me want to go to school. Then I read in the PWB about these little girls who get to run around in Africa in the hot sun...I want to run around in the hot sun! Im trying very hard, really I am. I promise. Oh third trimester, why do you have to be so beautiful!!!

Blogger is Hating on Me

So I got I thought to myself Veronica (for those of you that dont know Veronica is the name for the voice inside my head) you should try seeing if you can comment again. Give blogger another shot..I mean after all it let you comment at school. So I tried....AND IT WORKED!!! and then to be sure, I tried again....AND IT WORKED!!! So then I got down to the nitty gritty. I was going to post on Maddie's about how I feel the same way and that it was really hard for me to pick a thesis for this paper....what is my thesis? I just dont know. I have so MANY things to say about it...how do I know which ones to pick...but It DIDNT work :( no more commenting. so long comment to Kbell about how I ran out of time and made a shotty essay as well. sorry y'all

The bliss of commenting has been revoked from me once again. Maybe I tried to do too much too fast. but there just for one moment....well maybe two moments.... I knew what it was like to be able to use blogger.

PWB Quiz Book 1

I thought the quiz was pretty easy.
I knew everything I wanted to say for all of them except for like one.

The only trouble was that I didn't have enough time to get it all down.
I wish we could have stayed longer to finish.
So as a result my big essay was really crappy.
I knew exactly what I wanted to say for it but I ran out of time.
And it's not like I spent the whole time looking for quotes or trying to think of what to write.
I spent the whole time writing writing writing and I didn't finish on time.
I feel the quiz was toooo long.

My Name is Madeline Field and I hate Essays

I'm not having a great time with this rhetorical analysis. I went through and dissected the writing no problem. Then putting it in words was a little harder. I know what I mean but how do I say what I mean? (get what I mean?)

I Need A Doctor

Dear Dr.

I am afraid that I am suffering from a number of illnesses, first and foremost the extreme "Writer's Block" this terrible disease has crippled my phalanges and my brain at the same time. I've heard of this disease before but have not been unlucky enough to have such an extreme case. For hours I stare at my blank canvas hoping for the words to magically appear in my head but that hasn't happened yet.
Also, I am suffering from "Senioritis" I heard this illness is contagious, is that true? If so then I definitely blame my college English class for forcing this disease upon me. Are there any cures besides graduation...which coincidentally is in 75 days or 10 weeks and 5 days. I don't believe either of these diseases are lethal....well hopefully not anyways.
Thank you Doctor for your help, I am looking forward to your response.

Quiz...

The quiz wasn't as hard as I expected. Which makes me nervous because that might mean I was way off on some of the questions :/ I hope not... But I guess I'll just have to wait and see. Well, so far I feel like this has been the most interesting book we have read. I actually enjoy reading it and don't have to force myself to take the time to read.. Yay!

I'm actually posting a Not Complaining Blog Post!

So even those I previously complained about the time crunch I realized that its preparing us for the future. We're timed on the AP test and because we're seniors we need to realize that in college we won't receive extra time on a college exam or test. So even though it was a little stressful kudos to you Mama Stariha for adequately preparing us for the real world!

...also, this weather is making me extremely happy! (:
