Back to the Book
While reading over the weekend I realized how sad it is that Cathy turned into a cold and somewhat shrewed person! I really can't blame her because her life pretty much sucks but I realized the light hearted fifteen/sixteen year old is completely different from the Cathy we are first introduced too. Maybe I'm remembering this all wrong and I'd like to go back and reread when Lockwood first came to Wuthing Heights but right now I'm trying to finish the book! I really hope things start to look up for Cathy at some point. Even though she is a bit snotty I can't help but feel bad!
It did help!
So the time in the computer lab today really helped me. I stumbled upon some questions that I probably would have just guessed the answer to and just go off in the wrong direction with, but sense we were in class I got everything cleared up. Plus, all of those researching sites made google look weak. I hope not a lot of you guys screwed around today because I want to be in there tomorrow too.
Random
So I was the 667th post on this blog...is that a bad omen? Does that mean that something bad will happen as a result to this blog because the number before this was 666? I wonder...guess we'll find out soon enough. Anyways I'm trying to get caught up on Wuthering Heights but I'm failing because I keep getting distracted by When Harry Met Sally, and Louis Armstrong's music..so good but its so good that it makes it impossible to pay attention to anything else.
confused.
so for the wuthering heights project..i'm doing the soundtrack thing and it says
"create a cd insert with appropriete artwork, artist info, dedication, and a booklet that includes lyrics and a paragraph for each song...blah, blah, blah.."
so..are we supposed to do like one of those things that are in the front of the cd case...? what is a cd insert?
Dance for the Sun
so Laura, this is for you- I discovered this pretty awesome Youtube video/song about Sun Salutations and it reminded of track, and yoga, and Ms. Stariha which led me to post this on this blog. For some reason this makes me really happy...but be warned it's a little bit strange and hippy-ish... :D

(: ~ ReSearch ~ :)
So thank you so much Stariha! Who'd a thunk you'd have to teach an 11th grade class how to research stuff. But honestly it was such a huge help and I would never of found anything ... ever google has always been good enough for me .... until now! haha
Also and I know I'm going to receive some hateful comments but I am ready to get going on this paper, for some reason im not worried, stressed, or freaked at all!! I found three essays today in the lab and am ready go get going on them. I'm sure that the examples Stariha has kindly written for us are going to pretty much be my guide and help me through it! and ... its bEaUtIfuL OUTSIDE!!! :)

so idk what really happened in class today..alright. i know a little bit. but it looks like the last couple of posts are happy..and not the usual complaining? nice! but thats besides the point..
uhm, does anyone wanna fill me in on what we did today? thanks a bunch:)
Thanks Ms. Stariha!
Thank you for the lab time Ms. Stariha! This has helped a lot...especially how we got to go over how to find the essays and what is a good critical essay. I feel like I can finish this project with a little bit less stress. Also, those examples are helping a bundle. However, I'm bummed that the AYF kids have to miss the quote/review day...so I'm going to post my quote later in the week!
Lovin' the Lab
I am really happy that Ms. Stariha gave us lab time and showed us how to find the essays! Es muy helpful! I am hoping to get part 2 done early this time so I have time to relax like Kody... I think I can blame my "non-stressed out ness" on the fact that I sit between the two most laid back people you could ever meet! haha
Project
I'm very glad that the Wuthering Heights project is optional. Even though I know I am going to do it, it takes a little bit of stress off knowing that it isn't required.
Yay for checkpoint 2! I found a couple good critical essays to use, even though they are long. The one that I think was written the best was 23 pages long. But at least I found some right.. ?

How about the bad news first.... we have another part of the research paper due on friday and a wuthering heights project due on friday.... the good new is we get lab time for the paper and the wuthering heights project is optional... just look at the bright side :)
