New Post

Well Im pretty sure I forgot to post last weekend so I better post this week. I'm just jamming with my lil sis to Cudi right now, I know I'm awesome. Weekend was good. Looking foward to spring break. Hopefully this week flies by. Well the books interesting, should be interesting to see how it ends.

I feel like I am understanding this better...

After our quote circle on Thursday, I felt a lot better about certain parts of the book that I didn't really understand before. I feel that the quote circles are going to help me a lot since I get to hear what you guys think and what you get from the reading that I may have interpreted differently. I also enjoy hearing quotes from that reading that others come up with that I may not have recognized the importance of before. And as of the rough draft of my rhetorical analysis essay, I'm still not so sure. When I get it back, I am planning on getting to work right away so I won't have to worry about trying to edit and finish it at the last minute. I think that one of my problems with writing papers for class is that I wait too long to finish it and I end up over-thinking what I want to say because I have a short time to get it done. I really hope that I will continue working hard in and out of class so I can continue doing good and learning a lot. :)

WHAT THE F&*@????!!!!!

hey everyone i was just wondering if we had to read this weekend or not!? Well I think that i will read anyways maybe just one of the chapters. Anyways i really miss conterversial issue Fridays. Great nap time!!!!!! Anyways i though i did alright on the quiz!!!!!

Oh me Oh my!

This week has been so busy!! I'm really liking what we're doing in class! The Poisonwood Bible is turning out to be an amazing book! The figurative writing makes it really interesting and fun to dig into during class. The quote circle on Thursday was really fun! I felt like it helped a lot when I took the quiz on Friday...I hope I did ok! This was the first quiz that I really struggled with! I felt like I had so much to write and didnt have enough time to get it down. I took way to long on the smaller essays and then when it came to the final essay I didnt have enough time to really expand on my ideas or develope points...oops!! In other news State Solo and Ensemble Festival was saturday and four kids from band went. We all did very well and I came away with a blue ribbon!! It was a really fun but kinda scary day! The judge asked my to play my piece (which went surprisingly well) and then play 6 scales that he chose randomly and then sight read this crazy hard piece!!! There were sixteenth note runs and grace notes EVERYWHERE!!!! But its all good because I escaped with a 1 and some great pointers to work on!

This Week!

Well this week was cool having Stariha back again. Our literary cirlce was cool, because we didn't do those so much last trimester. But they're helpful because that way we know good quotes, and we can understand the symbolisms and different things that the book wants us to get. Well hope this next week is good also, with not alot of homework!!!

Weekend!

Well this weekend has been interesting but fun. I finished all my homework (except for blog) on friday. Then yesterday i went cross country skiing for the first time. It was really cool, but we fell alot because we were beginers. And today we have to drop off our company at the airport :( but its been fun. P.S. i liked the quote circle too! It helped me alot on my test

had a feeling i could be someone

I made a startling discovery about myself this past week, and it actually made me just sit there in awe. While talking to my mother about what we've been doing in this class (PWB and rhetorical analysis stuff), I was explaining to her what the 4 girls characteristics were like in the book. I then realized, OMG!!! I'm much more similar to Adah than I first thought. It may seem like a lame thing to think of considering its about a fictionous book, but I am! This is how: I couldn't talk or hear for the first 2 years of my life. This was due to my stupid ears. I then drew the assumption that because I couldn't talk, I was left to observe and think! Thats basically what Adah does. I thought this was quite the neat thing to connect together so I thought I would share it with all you lovely people. :]
