Blog Troubles?

Problems, the blog isn't letting me comment on other people's posts. It says that I need to select a profile even when I'm already signed in, and then it signs me up as an anonymous person, creepy much?? GRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

one more day maybe

I don't know how you guys are doing on the optional Wuthering Heights project, but I am kind of at the point where I don't know if I want to continue with the idea that I am thinking of and hurriedly put it together for Friday along with the checkpoint two, or just not do it at all and just concentrate on the research paper. Either way it would be really nice if Mrs. Stariha could possibly give us one more day to work on them and that way we can spend more time on Friday studying for the test Tuesday too. It feels like it has been forever since we took that last test so it would be nice if we took that extra time to go over everything together in class. I guess this is just me begging for more time because it has been one the hardest aspects of this class to manage in my opinion.

summer...are you near?

So I started doing a critical essay summary, it's not so bad. I think I'm going to finish up the rest tomorrow except summarizing that 18-pager is going to suck! I'm probably going to brush the key points and talk about the intent of the essay and then go back and put more detail into it later when the whole things due. But I'm glad the exam is an option, I'll have to see what the project/essays are to decide, I'm leaning toward project though because the standards are probably going to be sky high for those essays. Soooo Tonya & I helped that bird fly again today! We named her sunshine :)
Just gotta push through these next like 2 1/2 weeks and then I'll be stress-free!
I'm also kindof nervous about the plagorizing thing because not necessarily in my Frankenstein paper, or even papers in this class, I feel like I don't give enough credit when using research to write papers and so that kinda makes me worry that I may be guilty of this at some points in my history of literature classes..I'm definitely going to be more careful now!

1/3 of the Way

I just finished my first essay summary and I'm not entirely sure it's what Ms. Stariha wants. Honestly, its not too bad and I'm a little happy with it myself BUT I think I used too many quotes from the essay. I'm having a hard time displaying the claims without plagiarizing (I'm being extremely careful here after the talk we got today which is why I have so many quotes) or stating the author of the essays name too many times. I suppose I'll just have to wait and see what she says but I'm hoping its OK.

Linton :P

I'm not sure why but Linton (Isabella and Heathcliff's son) bugs the living crap out of me!! More than any other character in the book! Seriously, how selfish can you get?? I get that Heathcliff scared the crap out of him and threatened him and what not, but still couldn't he get his head out of his rear end long enough to realize that Cathy was the only one who genuinely cared about him and loved him? But no, he'd rather sit there and suck on his little sugar candy while Cathy was locked in a room with a tyrant forbidding her freedom. And when Cathy nudged the chair and he went into a tizzy about her "abusing" him, and she left and then he fell out of his chair and basically threw a hissy fit. Just to let all of you boys out there know, being a whiny little brat, is by no means the way to a girl's heart.

I'm out of the loop!

Help me here:
1) Someone said Starhia made something else optional besides the wuthering heights project...what???
2) Have I missed anything of importance while puking my guts out?
3) Have you guys missed me? Never mind I already know the answer to that one!
4) What have we been disscussing regarding Wuthering Heights? I finished the book so we're all good there but is there any key elements that I might be in the dark about?

Ms. Stariha and her Great Ideas!

I actually mean it this time, no sarcasim intended... I really like Ms. Stariha's idea to make the exam a choice. I think I'm definitely doing the project part because I am getting hand cramps just thinking about any more essays. So yea, thank you little birdie for putting Ms. Stariha in a good mood. haha
