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.
