English 1050

In this class, I have learned about every genre of writing I can think of. I had never read a full comic all the way through before this class. I had only read Bazooka Bubblegum comics. I now have a background knowledge of many writing styles and techniques. I have written many different genres myself, as well as read them. I am turning in today a fictional research essay, my final essay. This essay is on Woodstock, and though I spent much time on it, I know I forgot many things. I only have 14 endnotes and 20 are needed for full credit. I did not do a writer's response and I only have 2 sources. I don't even know how many sources are needed. English has always been m favorite subject in school, and still, it is the easiest subject for me to procrastinate in. I still need to work on that. I have enjoyed this class while it lasted, and I am on to bigger kid English now since I switched my major to English secondary education. See ya freshmen English!

Latin

My final project in Latin was to write a one hundred word story in Latin. It could be about anything. 100 words about anything? Sounds pretty simple, right? No. It was very difficult for me and I didn't get any help on it like everyone else in my class did. Everyone else has friends in the class, and since I'm a loser, that didn't happen! :) So, it was hard for me. It look so long. BUT I'm done and I turned it in earlier. I am so happy to get it done. Now on to all of my other homework, but first-American Beauty with Michelle and Toast. Yes.

Work Day

I feel like I do not have much to write about today, because today was a work day in class. Teach brought us cookies! I've been researching Woodstock all hour, so I naturally feel chilled out. I have no idea what's going on. They were all naked, all the time. I don't think I could do that, even if it were in an environment where everyone was naked and it didn't matter. My old best friend, Hailee, her family talked about moving to a nudist camp. That's awesome. It sounds weird to say that, but they're not weird. They're actually really cool, and it wasn't weird to hear them talk about it the first time. This next week is going to be HECTIC. I need to add way too much stuff to my to-do list. I also need to learn how to cite sources correctly. I suck at that. Kevin will be here soon!

Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving was a great one, but could have been better. This Thanksgiving was my first Thanksgiving without my dad. Thinking about this was hard for me all day, but I had a lot of fun regardless. I had two Thanksgivings this year. First, I ate with my man's family at his house, and then I ate at my house with my family. At Kevin's house, we ate with his parents, his aunt, and his grandma. The green bean casserole was amazing. I want more. After eating at Kevin's, Kevin and I went to my house and ate again. At my house, we ate with my mom, my brother, his girlfriend Ashley, and my mom's friend Dave. Kevin and I both ate so much food that day, but it was so good to care. Everyone gains a few on Thanksgiving and everyone's okay with it. Thanksgiving is great, but it will never be as good as when I could spend it with both my mom and my dad.

Harry Potter

My man and I went to see Harry Potter together last night. It was fantastic. The best one by far. It was so intense! I bet for anyone who saw it/will see it in the imax will flip out. I should have seen it in the imax, I haven't seen a movie there since the last Harry Potter. And that one was great, too. But I don't think any of the other Harry Potter movies compares to this one. The ending of the movie was so abrupt and perfect. I can't wait for part 2. I need to read all of the books. And so does my man. We have decided that as soon as he moves here (next month) we will read all of the books together. Too bad this won't possibly get accomplished by the time the 2nd movie comes to theaters, but it will be awesome regardless. I'm so pumped!

Rain/Latin

Today is pretty gross and gloomy out, but I still don't understand why everyone is complaining about it as much as they are. Yeah, it's ugly and depressing outside, but at least it's not snowing. Everyone loves the snow. I used to, but now I only correlate it to the cold. I can't handle the cold anymore. The cold is what is depressing, not the rain. Rain is good! And it's so warm outside, too. It's not even bad. On the other hand, I have a Latin test tomorrow. I am not excited. I have to study my ass off for the rest of the night, but right now I must nap. I plan on napping for hours, and then studying. Off to do work.

In class.

Today in class we discussed our research narratives that we are finally starting to write. Siting all of our groups sources was a pain. It sucked, actually. I hate siting sources, and I think that's because I don't understand how to do it. We also answered questions, as always, on a new thing we had to read for homework. This time, we read a comic called In the Shadow of No Towers, and it was a very chaotic comic. There was a lot going on in it, and I couldn't tell what the author's tone was throughout the piece. I thought he was racist in some parts of the comic, but in others, I only thought he was angry. We also all scheduled appointments to go meet with the teacher to discuss our papers so far. I think. We have to bring our one page, double spaced, outline/draft to this meeting, but I don't know what this meeting is for yet. I am so terrible with getting motivation to outline everything I am doing for a project. My best way to get things done is to just do it, then go back and edit and revise.
