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!
