8th week

Half way point!!!! I don't know about everyone else but it has actually gone by pretty fast. Maybe because I'm living in a whirlwind of homework, but it seems to be moving along at a quick pace. I really enjoy this class because it allows some flexible hours, so I don't have to rush through. I also like reading other opinions of the text. It opens up a broad range of options and view points. This weeks reading is awesome. To tell the truth I had low expectations of it, pardon the pun. But I didn't think I would enjoy it for some reason. Funny how I always end up loving the literature I think I'll hate. Then there are also times when I end up wondering what all the fuss is about, when it comes to literature I am really looking forward to reading. I am really behind in this class though. I have to start immediately-Friday to be exact-on the web page. I have put it off for as long as I can, but not really out of dread. It's just that my other classes are killing me. I have Dr. Carrell and Dr. Mayfield this semester----Need I say more??? They are tough cookies, but like this class, you really learn a lot about the subject. Anyways, I am not experiencing any more pain the everyone else I guess. I am married with 2 children and I am taking 18 hours this semester. And I am sure I am not alone in that category, so the other people in similar situations can sympathize. I just love it when my idiot husband say stuff like, "why are you so tired? it's not like you have a job." I just want to knock his head off. If he only knew-I have about three jobs. Anyways, I am in a mood. I better go before I rant this page away. Bye and thanks for stopping in.

7th week

Can you believe that it is already mid-term? I can! I am swamped with work right now. It seems like all of my prof's choose to give exams at the same time, and I am getting that drowning feeling. This weeks readings were the most difficult so far. I enjoyed them because I feel like this is a time when women are struggling to gain their voice, but it's difficult to interpret at time. I still haven't started my web-site on Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes, but I have started researching. I love her poem "Daddy". I disagree with her saying "every woman loves a fascist" though. I don't want to be ruled! This is a fun class, and even though it is stressful he gives us a lot of space and time to read and figure things out.

6th week

I actually did not post this like I should last week, so this blog is a make-up blog. I was glad to finish Frankenstein up this week. I enjoyed reading it, and learning the mistaken identity of the monster and creator, but I'm glad that it's over. I am ready to move on. This week I picked Slyvia Plath and her husband Ted Hughes to do my web-site over, but I haven't begun creating it. I don't know what I'll do, but she is a poet that I enjoy reading. This week is moving fast, but I feel like this class gives me a little room to move. See ya next week.

5th Week

It's hard to believe we are in our fifth week. This is the class that I feel I have accomplished the most in. Probably because when the snow did not keep me from the other classes, the teachers did not show up. I am taking 6 classes and only one teacher has not missed so far. It has been a weird semester. I hardly ever have teachers cancel, but I guess they are miserable with the weather too. Anyways, I just don't feel real familiar with the semester if that makes sense. I enjoyed the text last week, and getting to see what everyone thought about Frankenstein. I was surprised to see that almost everyone else perceived it the way I did. We all seemed to have the creator and the creation confused. I was a little worried about figuring out a topic for the essay, but decided on one I really liked. I picked the "Lucy" poems by Wordsworth and tried to decided whether she was a consistent character, or a different representation in each poem. I decided upon the latter. I am glad we are devoting another week to Shelley because I didn't finish last week. I need time to process it a little more. It is interesting beyond what t.v. has turned it into. Thanks for stopping by, and see ya later. :)
