Sorry Stariha

I know you hate when we post on this like it is facebook..... But PROM is the exception! Last night was awsome, the group was so big it was sweet. I think we owned senior prom. But the book is a different one. Ive been reading and it is not my thing. It is a tear jerker. (too sad for me) but maybe it'll end good?

Last night was awesome and I am so tired right now, but I think I figured out how to organize my research paper and that makes me feel much better!!! But yeah prom was fricken sweet, had a great time.

Fantastic

So my blog has nothing to do with my title, except for from was fantastic last night. Anywho I am only doing this post is because my sister had the computer on besides that I am not going to do any research this weekend!! HAHA UHM I also dont have to read because I am on page 140 oh yeah!!

re'search'ing

I love and hate research papers all at the same time. They are soooo intensive and time consuming that its as if they will never end. They also take a lot of dedication to apply yourself when you don't want to (which is what I do). But I love getting down deep into a topic and learning so much about it. There's huge amounts of details and parts of merit pay that I never thought about or knew before I started researaching it! Just to spend time thinking on one thing, its amazing what you will find out.
I finally got my interview done with this weekend and I learned quite a bit just from someone else's viewpoint. I talked to a professor at Michigan State University who teaches Children's Literature. She gave me answers that surprised me and backed up research I've already discovered! The amount of ideas in our world constantly catches me off guard, and hearing from just one other person outside Shelby can do that.

It's just so sad....

The girl in "The Color Purple" is just abused and used so much... and she doesn't even know most of it's bad!  It's heart breaking...

But, it reminds me of  a song!  It's called "Life is but a mere supply"

Here is the link:   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBGisHQbkek

I strongly reccomend you listen to the whole song!  It's cool!

The whole song is sad.  The singer is a girl who has been abused her whole life and was forced into prostitution.  Some of the lyrics worth highlighting are...

Full of s**t
Full of dope
Full of wishing and I'd love to get in close

Full of hate (watch it)
Full of hope
Who's your daddy is he in the room?

Life is but, a mere supply
of a few good [thoughts]
then you die.


This song has been with me most of my life FYI it's in Grand theft Auto 3.  But I feel that I'm only understanding the messages as I get older.

Please listen to the whole song and comment on what it made you feel.

...it's friday (:

those of you reading the color purple..
what is the nasty women disease?..that Shug is dying from...When I first read it I thought of Aids, or some STD, because..Shug sleep around according to Mr.________'s dad? but I'm not really sure .

the peer editing activity we did today in class has already helped so much! now, i just have to make my changes so i can send a "good" rough draft to Ms. Stariha.
