ugh!

Is anyone having a hard time finding someone to interview?! or send request letters to? I'm going crazy right now trying to find good people that would know about my topic. Any suggestions?

Interview.

I have attempted to set up an interview, but so far, no response back. However, I WILL NOT BE DISCOURAGED! I hope it is alright that I don't have an interview scheduled to turn in to Ms. Stariha tomorrow, but I can show her that I have attempted to get a hold of the person I am trying to interview.

I'm finishing up my interview questions and survey questions right now...and I'm feeling good about this! I'm still having a hard time finding research, but I emailed some college proffs asking them for some guidance.

Just for reference, due tomorrow is the interview questions, the survey questions, and the information request letters, correct?

YYYYYYYYYEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!

I was FINALLY able to arrange an interview!  And it's with a professor from LSU who was removed from teaching an introductory bilogy class for being "to strict."  Since I have grade inflation, this interview is going to be golden!!!!!  I am SSSSSOOOOO HAAPPPPPYY!!
That, and my letters are coming around nicely as well.  They're both professors.  On from Wiscolnson, and one from Harvard.

PWB & Senior Project

So, I'm catching up in my reading for the Posionwood Bible (and yes I'm actually reading, not spark noting) and I'm glad to see that Rachel is finally maturing...somewhat... And I also think t he way Kingsolver connects with the reader, especially with the whole death of Ruth May, is amazing. I felt like I was right there, watching her family slowly deteriate. And kudos to Oreleanna for finally leaving Nathan!!! That made me so happy. This senior project is definatly stressing me out though. There's alot of stuff to do, and it seems like such little time. Anyone else feeling this same way??

Because I am an older sister to two younger siblings, I couldn't help being emotionally disturbed by the imagery painted in the particular section pertaining to Ruth May's death. Death in general is a very hard thing to cope with and can often times leave you questioning why and how something like this could ever happen to someone you know and love. Because Ruth May was a daughter, sister, friend and so young and innocent, it was so hard for the Price family to even comprehend what had happened (well, most of the family). As usual, Nathan could only focus on the fact that Ruth May had not been baptized yet, and she would be one of the lost souls (among many many others). I find it very interesting that death was what finally made the family realize that they are no different than the Congolese. No better and no worse. Because of Ruth May's death, the family was just like the other families in the Congo, as almost every family experienced the death of a child at one point or another. I'm interested to see what Orleanna will do next as I read further into the next book, and I'm wondering what else will change with the family because of this tradgic event.

Poisonwood Bible

The more I am reading, I am finding that it is becoming more intense. I thought at first that things that were happening at the beginning weren't going to change everything but now I am realizing that all of the stuff that happened earlier is describing what is happening now. Orleanna has changed so much within this section. The Bel and the Serpent has changed the whole story now with Ruth May gone. This has really brought a very emotional side out in the book. It also brought me to relate the section with actual happenings, whether they are personal or just things that are happening around me. I like that Rachel is finally changing and I cant wait to see what is going to happen next!
