The End is Near

Wow, can you believe how fast the semester is coming to an end? It feels like only yestarday it was January and snowing. I am glad the spring is finally here. I love poetry in the springtime! I especially love the modernism period. Eliot, although difficult, is such a pleasure to read. I am looking forward to the following readings. I am struggling with my web page, but only because I am about as computer illiterate as it gets. It is due soon so that is how I am spending my spare time. Have a great week.

Spring Fever

Hey everyone!!! I am so glad for the break next week. It will be catch up time for me. So for all the kids at the beach-wish I were there instead of in the books. It really sucks being dedicated. Who am I fooling-it really sucks being behind. I like the poetry this week. I am confused about the nature vs. art argument that's going on, but that has always been a difficult topic for me to understand. My team mates are doing great on the web-site, and I feel like such a loser so far. I am working on mine and it's fun because I really love Sylvia Path. She is such an intriguing and dark writer. Her life was not so easy from what I am learning, but she really uses her problems to make great poetry. Everyone have a safe and fun break! Until next time.........

9th week

Almost Spring-Break! Wanna know what fun and wonderful things I have planned?? Sure ya do, or you wouldn't be reading this. Okay-spend time with the fam, homework, housework, and turn another year older. That's right-got a B-day coming up. The big 2-8! Wow, I can see thirty peeking around the corner, leering at me. But hey, I'd rather get older than be dead. Speaking of death, I am not usually a fan of the media but somehow I took the bait. Hook line and sinker, and I am not talking about John Donne. Unfortunately, I was a temporary Anna Nicole junkie, but now she is buried, so thankfully I can move on. I seriously did not intend to get addicted to anything like that, but it's kind of like those car crashed that you pass. You know that you shouldn't look, but you just can't help it, and it was such a circus. Anyways, I say I was addicted but that means I may have spent an hour a day watching tv. Normally, I don't watch anything but Rome on Sunday nights, or Nip Tuck when it has a new season. Other than that, my life demands too much for me to be on the couch watching tv. I could always be reading or writing something instead. Speaking of, I am glad we read Dickens. I was not looking forward to it for some reason, but I have really enjoyed it. I am also glad to get essay 2 off my mind, so I can focus on that web-site. Uggghhh. Not excited. I am not a technical genius, so this will be the real challenge of taking the class, but like everything else I freak out about it will probably not be that big of a deal. We'll soon see. Thanks for stopping by, and see ya next week.
