THANK YOU, PROF. BOEREMA!

I conducted my interview today and I found the PERFECT professor to talk to! It turns out that he has been pondering the thesis I have for my project for the past 30-or-so years... He was also a high school principal for a number of those years and decided he didn't like public education and went to grad school to teach college education classes. Anyways, he helped me SO MUCH! I've been emailing him back and forth since the beginning of this project and everything he says is so relevant to what my project is!

So i've been working on my rough draft this week and i finally finished up tonight
with saving the intro, conclusion and abstract for last. Im not sure if my abstract is exactly on
target, but i tried to follow the example paper and i think im headed in the right direction. I really like the color purple so far because the sections are short. Im really hoping by the end Celie steps up and finds her voice instead of not saying or doing anything. Its really sad to know
that this sort of stuff happened all the time. The book in the beginning really reminds me of the movie precious. but anywayyy umm i have no idea what to write about for our narrative.. and when is it due??

another writing assignment?
my one question is when is this due? because there is a lot on our plate as it is...
but on the plus side this is about us. we know ourselves better then anyone else.
so this should be easier then a huge research project.
and give me and those who need it a chance to get their grades up.

oh and really? we can read another book for extra credit?
that sounds great and all but i really wouldn't want to get the two books confused..
what to do... what to do.

A poem

This is a really good poem that has to do with both African Americans and women's rights. Its really good! check it out!

I always forget about blogging until Sunday night, which is not good!

So, I was slacking off on my Senior Project [until today]. My mom was on the computer and she asked if I wanted to get on before she shut it off and I was thinking in my head "Ugh, I really don't want to work on anything," but somehow I ended up saying "Yeah! I'll get on the computer," so, here I am, on the computer. And surprisingly I have done a lot! I finished typing my survey out and making it all pretty, and I got my interview questions all in line, but the only problem is is that I cannot find any of these peoples phone numbers or even e-mail addresses! So, I'm stressing about that right now! Other than that I just have to say I hate how much crap I have to do this week [but I'm not going to complain too much, because there are actually 6 of us in College English that are also in AP Calculus and a majority of us will be gone Wednesday due to the fact we are taking the AP Exam, and all 6 of us will be gone Friday to the Oceana County Math Tournament]. Oh, and did I mention I really haven't started on my paper yet?! I'm happy/nervous that I have a conference with Stariha tomorrow. I don't want her to tell me how dumb I am and that I'm not doing too great in the class, because I already know that!

The Color Purple

Inbetween writing my rough draft for my research paper, I decided to start reading The Color Purple. This book is such a great, but sad story. And it is definitly a mature read. I like that it's in a 'slang' style too. I'm interested to see how this book ties into the other three that we have read in class already. Well, happy blogging!

P.S: Mrs. Stariha you'll see me very soon for a conference time :)

i know that blogging isnt all about talking about your life and how stressed out you are but "jeez oh man" im stressed!
i feel better that we are done reading PWB but this research paper and my grade are really getting to me...
lets hope this all turns around soon :/
