I know that we never go to conversing about this poem in class, but when we do, I think it's going to be just as confusing asThe Wasteland. When I was reading it, I was kind of shocked at some of the phrases and words that were used. I feel like an old prude when I read stuff in this class, because everyone knows you would NEVER read Howl back in ( Read more... )

So did I mention that I love Mr. Fitzgerald? Back in 9th grade or so, my class had to read The Great Gatsby and I fell in love with it! However, it seemed like I was the only one because everyone else in the class despised it. Then, this last Christmas, I saw The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and I loved the movie! So much, I went to go see it ( Read more... )

I am very surprised and happy with myself that I was able to pull through yet another paper. However, I think I chose sort of a difficult movie- Harlem Nights. Honestly, I don't think Eddie Murphy has really had a purposeful movie...ever...but I bit the bullet and wrote my paper. After a while of brainstorming, though, I surprisingly found a couple ( Read more... )

As I had said before, I didn't really haveany idea of what a museum would be like, aside from watching Ferris Bueller. I actually found the musuem to be very calming, and it was so nice to be somewhere quiet! I would definately love to go back when I wasn't on such a strict schedule so I could take my time and have a chance to see everything. I ( Read more... )

..kind of. I am actually really excited that we're finally getting into World War II. Talking about the Great Depression for several class periods was kind of...depressing. I have also yet to start on my paper. Since I'm off this weekend, I intend to start and finish the paper (hopefully) along with another project that I need to finish before next ( Read more... )

Ever since we had the class where we listening to music from the 20's, I have been really drawn to it. I have found myself looking up Cab Calloway on my own time on YouTube and listening to Minnie the Moocher. Also, I picked up an F. Scott Fitzgerald book at Half Price Books over the spring break. They had a couple of his books, but I was drawn to ( Read more... )

So ladies and gents (or those of you who are actually using livejournal),

I had a really hard time preparing for our exam on tuesday. I wasn't able to access the powerpoints for several hours because supposedly I am an unauthorized student. Who knew? Anyway, I ended up working on the review til about 2 AM, going to bed, then waking up at 6 AM to ( Read more... )

So excuse my language and everything, but who else is flipping a shit about this exam tomorrow? I had a very hard time getting the powerpoints off CougarWeb, thus delaying my studying several hours. Anywho, I sense the feeling that I'm not really in the groove yet this semester. As I go through all the terms on the review sheet, I'm like, "When the ( Read more... )

Oh if only that quote could justify the gloriousness of Daniel Day Lewis.

Anywho

I am particularly pleased with how well my classes are going this semester, especially learning community. Even though the last paper was a huge pain, I'm happy with it's outcome, so hopefully all goes well.

I must say, though, I do prefer history 1301. I enjoyed learning ( Read more... )

Alas, I am finally able to post. I'm very much behind due to my worthless excuse of a laptop not being able to load a simple website. So, I dug into my savings and bought myself a new one yesterday, so I should be expecting it this thursday. :D

Anywho, I'm kind of excited about going to the Amon Carter Museum tomorrow. I don't really know what to ( Read more... )
