paper...

Hey guys!  What up?  Ok so this paper is not working out.  I want to know how your supposed to crank out at least 4 pages on a poem?  How?  Can someone please tell me?  Ok well whatever.  I need Ms. Frailly's help.  So don't nobody be asking her to help them next week, because it's saturday right now and I call dibs.  LOL Just kidding you guys.  But I for real need some help.  I'm about at a total loss.  Anyway, if any of you could help me I posted my revision in Google Docs just now.  And, believe me, I need a lot of help as you will certainly see if you read my paper.  To be quite honest, it stinks.  I know it stinks, and I didn't even read it.  That's bad. But whatever.  Hey did you guys hear about this Sunday?  It's supposed to snow.... again.  But this time it's not this "chance" stuff.  I was listening to the radio where they said that we are definitely going to get some snow on Sunday about midday.  And they don't know how it's going to be for Sunday night.  But I wonder if we are going to have another snow day.  Gosh.  Well to be honest, I wouldn't hate it.  In fact, I would love not going to my psychology class Monday night.  *sigh*  I can only hope.  So right now, I'm listening to "See You Again" by Miley Cyrus.  This song is pretty catchy.  lol.  Ok guys, well have a good Saturday.  See you in class on Monday (maybe).

eh..

Hey losers!  What are you people doing today?  Yay!  The weekend is upon us, yet again!  Happy happy!  So, today I plan to write my revision for the poem.  I'm a little worried.  Not sure how this is going to turn out.  AHHH.  What do I do?  Eh well. 

Hi guys.  So being in class yesterday helped me.  Thank you, Ellen!  She helped me with what I could talk about with my paper.  I really didn't know what to do. because, as I have said before, I am writing my paper on the poem "A Certain Lady".  And, to me, I didn't know what, in this poem, is to be argued about.  Enough to write a whole paper on, anyway.  To me, it's just about this girl who is in love with her guy friend, but he doesn't love her.  I didn't know what could be argued.  Thankfully, and with Ellen's help, I will hopefully be able to write my paper on why this girl does not tell her best friend that she is in love with him.  I have reasons.... 1. She feels like she can't tell him she loves him because they are friends and that is what they are supposed to be.  2. The poem speaks of other girlfriends he has, so she is thinking that she can't tell him because he is dating other people.  and 3. what if he doesn't love her back?   Actually I think there was another reason, but I can't think of what it is.  Ellen and I were talking about it in class, so maybe she'll remember what it was.  Lol.  Ok, this is kind of ironic, but right now I'm listening to itunes, and guess what song is playing?  "Say" by John Mayer.  Weird.  If you guys haven't heard that song or know what it is about, it says "Say what you need to say."  Which is weird considering the poem, and how she couldn't tell her friend that she is in love with him.  Perhaps the writer of this poem needs to hear this song.  haha.  Anyway, we shall see how this whole paper thing goes.  I'm concerned that I still won't be able to get four whole pages on just this one little poem.  Eh well.  I have yet to read "The Raven".  Eh well, again.  Haha.  Ok guys, I'll see you people in class on Monday,  Have a good weekend. 

Hey guys.  So what are you guys thinking for this paper?  Have you chosen your poem yet?  So, as I said before, I chose "A Certain Lady".  I still like that poem.  But it seems like it could be difficult to write a paper on.  But we're in college - it's supposed to be that way. right?  lol.  I started reading "The Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe.  I heard Ms. Frailly tell someone that they did not want to do that poem.  I want  to know why not?  I know it's long, but does that mean it would be difficult to write this paper on?  I also like another poem, although I don't know the author.  It's called "The Wedding Ring".  It's not what I expected.  I expected it to be another one of those boring love poems.  But it's about how this lady's wedding ring has been neglected and is sitting with other stuff that is useless or not cared about.  It also says near the end something about how it symbols a promise that living wouldn't allow someone to keep.  I assume that meant that lady's husband had died and living would not allow her to remain in the promise of marriage to him. Sad.  Anyway, I want to finish reading "The Raven".  I guess I'll see you jokers in class on Wednesday.

a certain lady

So I really like the poem "A Certain Lady".  It's sad.  Poor lady in the poem.   Wonder if the author of that poem, Dorothy Parker, really felt that way?   Did she just write it to be writing a poem?  Or did she really experience something like that and the result was to poor out her heart on paper?  It reminds me of what I've gone through.  I tried to make myself look pretty, and yes, he talked to me.  But did he really notice me?  So yeah.  I like this poem.  Lol.  I took it to mean that she and the man to whom she is referring are friends, maybe even best friends.  And since they are such good friends, he tells her of the girls he dates.  She, however, can not let him know that she loves him.  So she listens to him tell her of these girls, but inside, she is hurting.  The last two lines of the poem, "And what goes on, my love, while you're away, You'll never know.", were said in class yesterday to mean when he has gone away, she had guys over too, that he doesn't know about.  However, it could possibly mean that, while he is away, she cries and wishes that he were with her.  Perhaps that's what she meant when she said he would never know....

sup?

Hey guys.  So we're into the poetry part now huh? So for those of you who didn't notice, I wasn't in class on Monday.  I was sick.  Bleh.  I feel better, but still crummy.  Lol.  So, thankfully, Amber is in my computers class and she was able to let me know what the homework was.  Read a page and then read "A Certain Lady", and find a poem that interests us.  I wonder if we are going to have to write a paper on a poem the same way we did with the short stories or if this paper is going to be different?  Hmm...  Time will tell.  I just realized today that in my chemistry class, we only have like 6 more sessions and we will be done for the semester.  That is the one that's my 8 week class.  So, yay about that.  That is really good.  Then I'll have more time to do other homework and papers and stuff.  Yay.  Well, have a good day guys, and I will see you people tomorrow in class.  Ugh.  That means I have to get up early and go to my history class. Boo.  lol.  peace out, you guys.

paper... final. ahhhhh...

ok so here's the deal.  um , do i start off all my blogs with "ok so"  lol.  anyway.  I'm not entirely sure about my paper.  I wrote it and it is sort of finished but I'm not sure.  There is something in it that I don't like.  Well, thankfully we had more time to work on it.  anyway.  so i heard that on fridays the school closes at 2, so I'm going to have to figure it out before then.  Ugh.  but anyway.  all right, so see you guys in class.

What to do?!?!?.

Ok, so class today was helpful.  My paper needs organization.  Really, I just wrote my paper trying to make the point that in The Yellow Wallpaper, John's actions are the reason his wife goes totally insane.  But I did not have any organization to it.  I just threw in a bunch of points on how this comes about.  What I need to do is to pull different instances out of the story that shows my theory, and put them one by one in the paper.  Next, after I put each instance, I need to explain this instance by what happened, then move on to the next instance.  This is all well and good, but I am wondering something.  I wonder if I should change the story I'm writing about?  I've already changed it once.  I started with Boys and Girls, and now this.  The reason I'm wondering this is because it seems like most everybody is writing about this paper.  That's not my problem though.  My problem is that because everyone is doing this paper, there are ideas floating around and they are good ideas.  I don't want to put someone else's idea in my paper.  So should I change stories again?  Eh well, I'll pray about what to do...  Until later, fellow classmates.

More time....

Yes!  Okay, so I emailed Ms. Frailly like I said I was going to do, and she got back to me and informed me that we are going to have more time to work on our papers.  Yayness!    Ok so what have you guys been up to?  Anyway, short post, but whatevz.  Bye!

WEEKEND BABY!

Hey people!  It's me again.  So Yay, weekend!  Fridays are seriously awesome.  I made it through my chem midterm last night, thank goodness.  But don't ask me how I did.  I'll let you know next week when I get my grade back.  So yay, the semester is officially one fourth over.  Woot.  I was going to start working on my paper today, but you know what.  I'm not really sure what to do.  Like I said in an earlier blog, I know I need to somehow come up with an view that is different than mine is in the paper and argue it.  But I would like some more information on what is wrong with my current revision.  I need Ms. Frailly!!!!!!!!  lol.   For real though, I want to see how she marked up my paper so I can know what to do different.  Okay.  I'm going to e-mail her.  Hopefully we will have some extra time to work on our papers.  Okay, fellow-scholars.  See in you class.

All right so I was looking at Holly's blog, and she made a good point.  Wonder if our paper is still due Monday?  On account of not having class yesterday, and we did not get to talk about style and editing.  Hmm..  Well.  I'm going to work on it anyway.  I need to do that.  I also am going to work on some World Civ homework, that was going to be due Monday as well, but now it is going to be moved until Wednesday.  Like I had said in my other blog, I know I am going to have a makeup assignment for World Civ, but I just want to know what it is.  I'm ready for this cold weather to be over.  Truth be told, I'm ready for summer.  *sigh*   Summer - when we go to the beach.  Summer - when we are out of school (if we so choose to be, now that we're in college).  Summer - where we go to the pool, and make ice cream runs.  Summer - where we can chill by laying out and getting a tan.  Ahhh... Summer.  I am a total summer minded person by the way.  It is definitely my favorite season.  I am bound and determined to live at the beach when I'm older.  Like after I get married.  Yeah.  Totally. Lol.  I have to confess that this English class is my favorite class.  We have more fun, and it is more laid back in that class than some of my others.  Actually, my Chemistry class, which is at night, is pretty laid back.  I go to that class tonight.  We have our midterm tonight.  Woo.  And just in case you people are wondering why I already have a midterm in that class, it is because it is an 8 week class, so it's already half over.  So yay, about that.  Well anyway, you guys have an uber fun weekend.  Someone let me know if they hear anything about whether our paper is due Monday or not.  See you guys on Monday, unless we have another random snowing in the night and they cancel class again (please, no).  Peace..... Erika

I'm sitting here as my dad plays golf on the wii.  Well, it snowed again today, which means we did not have class.  It was good to sleep and in and have a bum day, because I was planning to get up at 6:15.  My mom woke my up and 5 something and told me to turn my alarm off because it had snowed.  So I watched The Twilight Zone and drew a colorful picture today. lol.  However, I checked blackboard and my teacher for my World Civ has put on there that a make-up assignment is coming up.  I'm sure everyone is all excited about having to do that again.  woohoo. ugh. Anyway, as far as my paper goes, I need to put an argument in it.  Are we going to have to have a make-up assignments for this class?  If we do it should just be like we have to blog an extra time.  lol.  Anyway, talk to you people later.
