Well I am not proud to admit that I am one of probably quite a few that have not been keeping up with live journal. This was a good kick in the butt though, because now I am not going to forget to keep up with it. At first I was honestly kind of bummed that we had to write twice a week about..wel.. my oh so boring life and perspective into the ( Read more... )

     Alright so in all honestly I am kind of scared for our first test (whenever this is.. i need to check that out on the calender) but would anyone like to study together or form a study group the week of?

      So who knew that there could be so much behind a simple poem? I think I agree with both sides of the argument, how there is not all that much thought put into poems and the messages that some people like to believe is there really is not because poets write based on their emotion and how they feel at a certain time..which can not be taken ( Read more... )

     So.. on my flight this weekend I sat next to a lady from Chicago. I told her about how we were reading 'The Devil and the White City', which she said that she has heard so many good things about, but has yet to read it. I asked her about the interesting things that set Chicago apart from all the other cities in North America and she told me ( Read more... )

     I thought that the Carter was pretty cool. I enjoyed looking around at all of the different paintings, sculptures, and photographs. I don't think that we could have picked a better place to visit and learn about american popular culture.

     I am looking forward to going to the Amon Carter Museum on Tuesday. With all this popular culture talk, I feel like will be a good experience, not only for us to learn about the obvious: art, but to look at popular culture through different peoples artwork, and I feel like 'popular culture in America' is defined in all works of art, especially ( Read more... )

     'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' is about a man who ages backward. For those of you who are debating to see it or not, the movie has a running time of practically three (what seems like forever) hours. I personally think that the movie definitely makes you feel as though you are aging forward! I thought that the film was an overall ( Read more... )

      I do not know if everyone already has started to put together rides or not to the museum, but If anyone would not mind me riding with them? or on the other hand.. I would not mind driving, I have access to an expedition!

     So from what I have learned Dr. AC will appreciate this.. but I forgot to mention my cat in my first journal entry. I also have a kitten who is 12 weeks old and he consumes the rest of time aside from school and work. He just got de-clawed on Monday, which may I add was one of happiest days of my life so far. I uploaded pictures into my ( Read more... )
