So short, yet so long

I really liked how the test was shorter today, I can really get used to test like these. I think there was just the right amount of multiple guess question and fill in the blank were there wasn't too many that you would freak out in the middle of the test but there also wasn't too little questions were the test becomes too easy (kind of hard to imagine an easy Brit Lit test).But then again essays are still essays. I always seem to spend lots of time on those. Even though this was a short test I still had to scribble down my last few sentences a few minutes after the bell rang. So much for a short test.

THE Book

So you know that Colossal, copious, enormous, excessivley huge, heavy, monumental, spacious, vast, voluminous, whompping book we as dedicated students have to transport everywhere with us?? (because we are good students who carry their treasured brit lit book everywhere with them incase a time arrises that is perfect for studying!) Yeah?? Well it's huge and is just so heavy I was pondering the idea one day outta the blue of keeping our books at home and in class borrowing one of the books off the shelf??

Please?? :)

The 17th Century :)

I have absolutely, loved it!! The literature I thought to be more interesting, the depth to which it went, the questions they posed and the differences in how these questions were answered by different authors, also how the works possesed mulitiple meanings added to its intrest, but all that might of been because I think I actually understood this section!(?) Well without too many questions still floating in my noggin, but I guess the test will be the deciding factor, showing me if I actually knew that I thought I did! lol

I love our class discussion how it flows and leads to the literature explaining it before we even talk about the literature which I think has added to my understanding of the text, which is just so nifty!! For example the Virgins and the Mistress poems with the Carpe Diem and the Eat, Drink, and Be Merry!!

I'm extremely exited for the rest of this tri, but if you take a peek at the calender I think we are going to be moving quite fast!! (Stariha ask yourself do you really want to read all of those LONG essays??)

18th Century TEST

Sooo... if you haven't noticed the calender "predicts" that our next test will be on next Wednesday (Hint: that is a week from tomorrow) so, I have decided to bring this up to this blogging community just to no. 1) Freak EveryONE out no. 2) hopefully people will actually read this and it will de-stress everyone when it comes time for this test no. 3) it wont sneak up on you and yell BOO and make you jump, but mainly to just freak everyone out it makes life interesting!! :P

isn't testing just soo much FUNNNN??

Revelation

So today I was driving home from Physical Therapy and was listening to the radio and was doing my shoulder driving dance (yes, Laura I stole Julia's shoulder driving dance) anyway...there was this lyric in some song that said something about backwards evil.
This got me thinking...evil spelled backwards is live!!
Revelation!
The two main points of Brit Lit this week were about evil and living. Anyway, yeah this didn't have much point but I thought that was pretty neat.

Veni, Vedi, Vici?

When I told my family about our discussions about Carpe Diem and Eat, Drink, and Be Merry my little brother brought up a story from his class with Mr. Heiny. He said that they had been talking about Vini, Vidi, Vici and in the beginning had been to told to write down what they thought it meant, as Mr. Heiny was reading the answers he found that one student had written instead of I came, I saw, I conquered; I came, I saw, I sinned. Mr. Heiny flipped out like im sure you all remember him doing and didnt get back on subject for the rest of the class.

test today..?

i have no idea what happened, but my mind went totally blank when i got to the essays! this has never happened to me, it kinda sucked. and when you do bad on the first test, it usually isn't too good for your grade the rest of the tri....oh gosh. but on another note, i am very curious to see how ms. s grades compared to ms. k...it will be interesting!
