Finals Weekend!

What's Happening bloggers, this weekend began the stress of finals and I couldn't be more happy about it! Not. We all knew this was coming all week, but it didn't truly hit until this weekend. I probably should have been more focused and nervous this weekend but I am not, which is both a good thing and a bad thing. I'm not that stressed like normal which is good, but that makes me more relaxed and wanting to just chill instead of work this weekend. I am happy because I don't have a final until Tuesday which gives me a bit of time, but then again that means I am going to procrastinate really bad! Hopefully I will get down to business soon and just knock out these tests. This may potentially be the longest week of my life. Wish me luck!

Last Class

Hello Bloggers, I am writing to you a bit bittersweetly today while thinking about our last English 1050 class. Even though it is late at night and almost two hours long, I have truly grown to enjoy this class mostly because of all the people in it.  We've all grown to like each other, or at least I like them and I hope they like me, and that isn't something I was really expecting to be honest.  I didn't think I could get close to people in a class but it turns out I was wrong.  We had some donuts and apple juice and chatted a little and then we learned some things about footnotes.  I was actually really happy she explained that because I had no idea how to do footnotes until then.  We all asked our questions and then answered a few questions from her, and we were on our way.  I am happy to be done with another class, but I wish I wasn't done with the people! Hopefully I will still talk to some of them or see them around campus.

Project 4

Hello Bloggers, I am writing to you a bit confused still about our final project. I know I should not still be confused about it but I am.  I think the topic we picked doesn't help us that much either but then again, they're all difficult topics if they're older history ones. I understand the annotated bibliography, that is pretty straightforward. However the narrative I have to write is seeming a bit impossible at the moment. Hopefully once I look into all the information and research some more an idea will come to me about the narrative. Until then I am going to continue to be confused. Wish me luck!

Scrapbooks scrapbooks scrapbooks

What's up fellow bloggers. As I said before my unfamiliar genre was scrapbooks.  I chose this genre because I don't know too much about it and I thought it would be more fun than short stories or poems or something. It was fun and I liked doing it, but it turned out to be more time consuming than I thought. I will be honest and say I did a bit of procrastination, however I got it done at a reasonable time on Wednesday night which I am happy about. I had to look at 20-25 examples of scrapbooks and write down the parameters for them, make a scrapbook and write a how-to paper. Finding the examples wasn't hard, but writing all the observation things was very tedious. It helped me figure out the genre a lot better, but it was time consuming. Making the scrapbook was very fun, but putting 500 words in a scrapbook is harder than it looks! The how-to paper was probably the easiest out of all of it. In the end I finished my project and feel confident about it, and am very proud of it because of all the time I put into it!

Thanksgiving Break

Hola Bloggers, I don't think that I have ever been so ready for a break than I was for this Thanksgiving break, however now that I am back I am SO SO ready for Christmas break.  I loved going home and sleeping in my bed for four whole nights! I figured out I can sleep in past 9, as long as I am in my own bed. My bed was definitely a top reason for being excited for break.  I was also really excited to see my family, and really really excited to see my dogs! I know it sounds weird but I missed them a lot. I was mostly excited to see all my friends that I haven't seen in awhile. I did end up seeing a lot of people, and I got to see my best friends which was all I really wanted.  It was a much needed break but it was a huge tease. Now I can't wait for Christmas break!  

Overwhelmed.

Hello all, I hope you had a good relaxing weekend.  I did for the most part, but it was too short like usual.  With thanksgiving break this week I am getting very ansy to just be done until next Monday.  I am incredibly jealous of the many people who are already home for break or are going home Monday or Tuesday. I am ready to be home, sleep in my bed, be with my family and dogs and see my friends! This is the first time that hopefully all my friends will be together again. There has been some drama since summer but I am hoping we all get past it and are able to have fun together like we used to, I really need it! Although I have made great friends here, I miss my best friends that I have known forever. Thankfully I don't have exams in every class or papers or lots of work to do but I still have to go to them which blows. English was my only class cancelled which actually was very nice because then I can be done for the night on Tuesday and just relax-hopefully.  I hope you all have a happy thanksgiving!

Genre: Scrapbooks!

Hello Bloggies, hope you all had a good week. This week's classes were extremely helpful for me in project 3. Tuesday we discussed The Vampire Diaries and Twilight and the things those things both needed to be considered in the vampire movie/tv drama.  Then we looked at many comics and did the same things with those. This was helpful because this was exactly what we would be doing for our genres. Then on Thursday we did two of our journal entries for our specific genre which really helped out a lot.  Until this week I really wasn't sure on the specifics of this project.  Now that we have done examples of it and actually done it with our genre I know what we need and am not as nervous for it.
