The Machine Stops

In the story I'm reading for part three the world has gone to an underground utopia where everything in controlled by "the machine". So far the story is very interesting but one thing in particular made me think. A lecturer in the society tells his listeners to not listen to what he has to say about a subject but what someone else thought about someone else thought about someone else thought about what some one said about the original subject. I'm sure that got a little confusing but it's a lot like what we do in the second part of our research projects. We are writing about what someone wrote about about the original subject. The lecturer believes that each generation after us will be better off because they know what we think about what someone else thinks. "And in time there will come a generation that had got beyond facts, beyond impressions, a generation absolutely colourless, a generation seraphically free From taint of personality, which will see the [subject] not as it happened, nor as they would like it to have happened, but as it would have happened, had it taken place in the days of the Machine." I'm not sure what to think about this idea. I don't think I like it.

Well i was gonna post sunday night but i got on way to late and then i just gave up on that idea lol, so everyone was saying the test was alot harder than they all thought it would be, and i agree somewhat that it was hard but they always are so it doesn't surprise me at all

Bright Shining Moment...A Darkling Thrush if You Will

I didn't mind this test. Multiple guess kick my butt, but WHAT ELSE IS NEW? right? The multiple choice always drop kick my in the face. It's kind of funny because I LOVE the history, I think its the best part of the section. Its kinda awesome how everything fits together and the history we know is enhanced by the stuff we learn in this class. But the funny part is that I sit next to Miss Sterken who DREADS the history. With every fiber of her being she loathes it. We're just opposites. So other than that killer multiple choice (there were quite a few weren't there) I actually didn't mind this one :) Mrs. Stariha this blog ppost is the Darkling Thrush in this dark blog.

This May Make You Smile

I agree with everyone one hundred percent on this sucky test! I also did some pretty solid studying and was completely lost ... although i did forget to read the signalman :P oops lol But other than that i thought i was gonna do fairly well but like my essays were so short cause i didn't have enough time and it sucked!

ok to the funny part. i got to my house and stariha was there picking up her children, and i was holding Harper (the baby) and smelt something funny .... it was Harper! lol and she had to clean up a huge poopy Stinky diaper! :P So along with getting the pleasure of marking up our tests with all kinds of ink she also gets to clean up poop :P haha Just a good story kinda!! lol

oh jeez.

so the test today, not so good. i really was not prepared at all..and i'm super bummed about it. i guess my tradition of my test scores going up 10% every time has officially ended. shoot

sick

so i tried taking that test today, and i dont know if it was because i was sick, or because the test was so hard, but i think i had like hot flashes, cuz i was sweating so stinkin bad, and i thought i was gonna toss my cookies, lol, but ya, so hopefully tommorow will be a little better...

!!!!!!

So I didn't want to copy everyone and put my post title as "Test", so I put what would come after the word "Test" if I were to put that in the title. That is the least amount of confidence I have ever had after taking a test. I even studied and felt good about it beforehand. Just hope I did better than I thought. It might have been the heat, it might have been the long weekend... nonetheless, it was not good.

You know, I even studied for that test last night, partly because I don't have a facebook anymore to distract me. By the way, my life has actually gotten better without facebook...I don't think I'm going to get another one for a loooong time. It's just like how I gave up junk food for lent (and now for summer too); it's so much healthier for you without it gone. So, yeah, you would think without the junkfood and facebook, i would've aced that test. Yeah, wrong.

Research Project

Is anybody else completely stressed out about that research project? Are we going to talk about part 3 tomorrow, because I don't know what it is...is there even a part three? If there isn't then I would be sooo incredibly happy...like you don't even know. I don't mean to be negative but my whole memorial day weekend consisted of homework...except saturday night when I watched that justin bieber movie with friends (yes, you know who you are :p) but, yeah pretty much i would be estatic if this project consisted of only two parts...plus, it's less work for ms. stariha to grade!! And i know grading is a pain in the butt...or so my mom says.

Not nice.

That was by far the meanest test we have ever had!!! I don't remember talking about realism vs. romanticism at all so that completely screwed me over for that essay, and so many of the multiple choice options were the same!! I mean seriously? Sky and crypt vs. clouds and grave???? So not cool they're definitely the same thing!

Because of that darn test....

All I can say is....

Good thing SuMmEr BrEaK is a week away...........

Test

Holy cannoli.... I don't know if I didn't prepare as much as normal, if the test was a whole lot harder, or if my brain was just not with me in class today because I do not have a good feeling about this test. I hoping that I am be completely wrong about this... I guess I'll just have to wait and find out!

well then.

Everybody hates tests. So now that I am starting to know most of the history, I need to study the individual works so I can get the multiple choice right

call me cheap..

the only reason i'm posting twice is because it's not letting me comment so i guess i need to post what i have to say...but i was just wondering;
do we still get extra credit for the reading logs if we only have like some of the poems?
just wondering because it's not like i would be irresponsible and only have some ya know, but in case some goofball only did some, and forgot there book, and just remembered about the test, and tried to google some crap but only found a little bit.......do they still get any extra credit?
boy oh boy, sure glad im not that scallywagger..

okay i'm just diggin a hole here....but um hannah i agree with your post and kurt i think you should get extra credit for those sweet pics! lol
^ those are my two required "comments"
:)
