Well im working on my paper right now and i looked up at the clock to realize it was 11 45 and i still haven't posted or gotten on the blog for this week, so here i am blogging now a couple min before midnight lol i like to cut it close haha

ok....whew!!

well i got a pretty huge golf tourney tommrow and idk why im up at this time of nihgt...oh yeah thats right!!!! REDOING MY ESSAY!!! so i worked on my essay yesterday from like 8 in the morning till like 1 in the afternoon..i went to work on my car and i gto back and the CPU had rebooted and didnt save my essay so ive been re-typing it since i got home from church at 9..so im done and now going to bed... i guess i can only blame myself...but i got it done and Mrs. Stariha is going to love it!!!

BAND CAMP STORY!!

This on time at band camp... there was a dead silence in the dawn of the summer morning. it was a ordinary day... or that is what it seemed like. everybody was inside the school getting their instruments for the morning drill. as i approached the school i heard one snare drum...ra-ta-ta-ta ra-ta-ta-ta ra-ta-ta-ta... when i walked in past the doors to the auditorium to the band room everyone was warming up. i want to go talk to my friend. when i got to him, he didn't say anything. it was strange but i thought he was having a bad day. we all soon started to go out side for drills. it wasn't a normal band camp morning. then it happened. as we were heading outside past the auditorium doors, the TUBA MONSTER came out from the darkness of the auditorium. he was seven feet tall and his four fingering valves were glowing red. he was eating everyone with his very large bell. i had no where to go. all hope was long gone. at that point i realized that i was next to be devoured by the musical beast. there was nothing i could do...

Paper

One down, one more to go. I am so happy to finally be done with the critical analysis paper... but then there is that research one looming down over my head. I guess just a second to breath then back to work. Oh well, only a few more weeks of school then freedom! I suppose it wouldn't be as sweet without ending with a paper that is bigger than all of the papers I have ever written in my life (haha just kidding but at the moment it feels life it.) All I can say is I better learn a lot and be an expert on my author be the end of this!

Wuthering Heights

Alright, so I am going to be honest; I am really having some issues getting into this book. Its hard because I cant get over the fact that we are just reading someones made up story... That this is just what someone from a long time ago came up with in their head? Yeah, I understand that it is good literature and all, but its still made up. Maybe if it was connected to this history more, or there was something clear that we should be learning from it?...

I don't know..

alright, I'm done complaining...
Now.

Critical Theory

As much as this CT paper has been a pain, I really enjoyed writing it. It kinda gave me a feel for a "deeper" sort of writing. Ya know, something that didn't just have an answer, but instead was the way you felt about something. Kind of expressing your feeling through writing, by way of literature?.. It also has made me look at literature more intensely as well, like as far as motives and intents behind it.. But to that I wonder if the writer has any of these intents at all? Or if our interpretations are completely off. I mean honestly Frankenstein could just be a poor attempt at a ghost story.

Just so you know...

Random Comment: I deleted my facebook account. I would post that on facebook but, since i don't have one anymore, I can't :) Since a lot of my friends are in brit lit, i decided to post it on here just in case they try to get on my facebook profile or something and they're stunned because it's not there lol. Anyway, i just finished the critical theory thingy which made me get behind in Wuthering Heights. And i just got the email that part one of the next project is due friday but Idk how I can even do part one if I don't know what it even is....so if someone wants to help me out on that so i don't fail, please feel free :)

paper

so, im writing this paper, and i hope i get a good grade on it, because ive put quite a bit of work on it, with wuthering heights on the other hand, i hate it, it makes no sense, and everytime i read it i have no idea what i read because i zone out like in the first few words i read, so my grade on the test might reflect that....

all nighter?!

so i may or may not be staying up all night because i have to finish doing my paper? haha but i for real need to get a good grade..because i want my grade to go up..not down. i want a fricken a so bad, like you guys don't even know. it's kinda weird, i'll be honest..but i really want one! so therefore..i am going to drink some coffee and turn on my writing music and do my absolute best on this, no slacking this time!

procrastinator=kendra

kendra=procrastinator

however you wanna put it..thats what i am. shoot.

Cheater!

So I was on youtube and I found freddys satire video and it just says that
"this video has been blocked from UMG, who has blocked in your country on copyright grounds"
So not sure but freddy, you must have coppied someone....

...

So I took one last look at my paper.. There was some things that Ms. Stariha wanted me to take out. And I put them back in. I went with the Biographical. And I was told I have to much info on Mary's life to compare to Frankensteins.. Ugh. I like my paper how it is. I think it needs that information. I cant just compare their lives in like three points. So I guess you can say I'm taking a very big risk but I did change all the other things she had marked. And I did take out some of the information. Just not all the important stuff.

IDK MLA

So...I know that the header has to look like this: Bahena 1. But I am still confused on how we are supposed to site our paper when we are only using one reference (Frankenstein). I looked a Mrs. Stariha's example papers and that just confused me more because I didn't know if they had more than one work cited or not. So when we quote something is it (45) or (Shelley 45), and I wasn't sure if it is inside or outside the quotation marks either. Please help.

Hmmm

I don't know if I am supposed to email this paper to Stariha or just hand it in tomorrow?? I just don't know ! lol any preferences Stariha cause I'm going to end up just doing both but that could just end up being annoying! lol

Good thing is IM DONE WITH THIS PAPER!!! YAY

Why Why WHY!

Why is it that on the day that I choose to re-write my Frankenstein paper, it is super duper nice outside?! It's sunny and at that temperature where it is breezy but not too cold, so in other words...basically perfect. And I am stuck at my computer with only a half re-done paper and the drill Sargent inside my head is telling me that I need to finish this paper pronto or else, but I am just stuck. Too bad that annoying drill Sargent doesn't have a friend who is really good at correcting essays.

Is there a Minimum?

Soo I am now citing my websites for this paper but I was just thinking is there a minimum number of websites? or am I just getting this paper confused with the next paper we are writing? ohh boy I'm confusing myself!

ttiittllee

So...........
I can't believe we only have like three weeks of school left. :(
It's sooo sad. :(
Like I'll be glad that it's over but super sad because I don't want to be a senior and graduate.
But anyways...I will try and relate this to the class.
With hardly any school left, teachers are cramming.
We have a couple of projects coming up in this class and I'm starting to stress out.
There is going to be so much stuff to do in all classes.
And I don't even want to think of that "E" word. :S
EXAMS! :'(
Ugh!

Might sound weird...

My favorite part of Wuthering Heights so far is the part where Hindley comes home drunk out of his mind. I like it because of when he takes the baby from Nelly and drops it over the banister. For those of you who havent been reading the book Heathcliff catches the baby but this is the part i like; Hindley walks down the stairs and blames Nelly for not stopping him from dropping the baby, I thought it was just ridiculous and it made me laugh.

Test Results

I guess I was kind of disappointed with my test score, just because I always do fine on the essays (which are supposed to be the hard part) and stink on the multiple guess! Kind of frustrating because I can always eliminate at least 1 or 2 of the options, but still get quite a few wrong. I don't know if I over-think them or what... whatevs though, right?

Scary Stuff

Do u remember when we created our own ghost stories in class? Well some of yours stuck with me, and were all I could think of when I was home alone Saturday night. Wow, I was really freaked out... I could just think of Stevos cuddly monster and Christiano's ghost. haha

Citing

Ok I'm quoting from a website, how do I cite it in the actual paper? Not the "Cited Works" and the end but right after the quote in the paper?

Inspiration

So I'm watching The Inside Story: Silence of the Lambs, for inspiration for this paper....we'll see how this works out. Hannibal Lector is one messed up character my my, and buffalo bill is just as bad..creepy. And Anthony Hopkin's accent makes his character even creepier, I wonder how I can apply any of this to the Frankenstein paper....

I'm not a procrastinating sucker(:

I finished my paper yesterday. I'm still not sure if it's exactly how I want it. But its close. haha Well. I am behind on Wuthering Heights. I should probably start catching up on that. I don't know how far we are even suppose to be and my computer wont let me view the calendar.. hmm. Well I'm on my way to MSU to see the play Chicago. I will just read on my way there.(:
