Stariha is rubbing off
This doesnt have to do with college English but with acting lol. We are working on monologues with a British Dialect and tonight in the shower I was practicing mine and my sister comes in and asks me if I was talking on my phone in the shower! I told her what I was doing and she told me I was crazy and that I sounded like a complete idiot....the story of my life! I guess the moral of the story is unless you dont want to be viewed like Stariha do not practice monologues where others can see you when they are in dialect because they will laugh at you and you will be called crazy. Also we graduate a month from from today. AHHHHHHHHH
Awkward
So today we discussed the 'awkward' part of The Color Purple. Earlier on this week I talked to my dad about how I didn't think this book should have caused such controversy. He said he thought it was because people choose to focus on just a certain part and not the whole message. After discussing this part more in our lit groups, I just think it's amazing how authors can put details in books for certain reasons, and we can entirely miss them.

Procrastiators Look Here
"Hi, my name is Tonya and I am a procrastinator.."
everyone, "hi Tonya"
So yes I procrastinate even when I swear I'm not. But I am adopting a new philosphy, and there is a story behind it. When I was a freshman four years ago I ran track (like I have for the last four years) and I ran the first race with Laura and Sarha Lu and I believe at this time it was Jen or (Nicole Brown I just can't remember), it was the two mile relay. Well we were at a fairly large meet, about 12 schools or so I would estimate and we were gonna get beat, bad and we knew that. So we made up a goal it was Dont Get Last. We thought this was a good plan but Ed overheard us and he decided this was just not a good enough goal for us young ladies. So he remade our now moto to "Dont Suck" which is what I am now adopting into my essay writing. Ed has told me this throughout the years and it has stuck with me. Just the other day he told me if I sucked at the meet that day he was going to beat me with the vaulting poles...I did well that meet. So I believe this is going to work out quite well.
To all you procrastinators out there my advice to you Dont Suck!! :)
and yes I know I spelt procrastionation differentley every time but on this new blogger I do not know where the abc check is, my appologies! If someone would like to point this out I would be thankful!
Not Happy.
So, besides the fact that my rough draft is crap, I still haven't gotten a response back from my letters. :(
YES!!!!!!!
So yea paper was crap. i could tell right after i read Garrett's. It was just really bad lol but now that i did an outline i am feeling a lot better about this thing and its about to get nasty up in here, ffiguratively of course. well gotta go!
