Advanced Comp Week 4

Well this is the last week of Advanced Comp. Trying to finish up my paper in the next few days. I have my Drill for the Army Reserve this weekend but I'm going to "git'r done" I think. Last week was a bit shaky I'm hoping to pull it all together for this last assignment. I have soooooo much stuff to do its a little overwhelming!

Advanced Comp week 3

Well this was a really tough week for me. I have been incredibly busy and ill. I finished my website but i will work on it some more before the group turn in next week. Father's day was today and we took my father out to the Indian Buffet which was delicious. It is sad that my son's father refuses to see him.

Advanced Comp Week 2

Well I'm excited right now because after years of trying to figure it out I'm finally going to get my tattoo. I have a consultation with "Grapes" down at Mystical Illusions in the city on Saturday to figure out all the details. I am getting a Chinese dragon because that is my son's Chinese name. I am also going to get his American and Chinese names tatooed on me, and I'm considering incorporating an American flag into it as well to demonstrate my son's mixed heritage and my pride for my country. Plus it would add a touch of color since i'm planning on getting it in black and grey. I have a really good friend of mine going with me since I'm getting it on my ribcage and I know its going to be crazy painful but I figure it'll hurt for a little bit but be there forever so it's a good trade.

Advanced Comp: Week 1

Well I'm off to a super late start on my summer classes. I'm pretty exhausted but think after this week I should be able to be caught up pretty fast. I enjoyed taking the online British Lit. II course with Dr. H and looking over the syllabus I am actually pretty excited to get started on these assignements. Not really looking forward to trying to fit in and 850 word essay in between work today and tomorrow but its been done before! Hooah!

Week 8 British Lit Since 1800

Well this is the final week for my British Literature class. This was my first experiance with an online class and I found it pretty fun and very convienant. I enjoyed the format and the oppertunity to use different technologies to share and learn. I would be very inclined to take another online course and I recommend this class to other people who need to take British Literature II.

Stream of Consiousness

Well in British Lit II we were assigned to read Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway which was a fairly interesting book but I couldn't get past the literary device of stream of consiousness. I hate it. I've never liked it or enjoyed it and while I see how it can be a good stylistic device and convey things in a new and more thorough way it is lost on me because it irritates me. I had the same problem with William Faulkner's As I Lay Dying. I hope that as an English major I can be forgiven this sin of not liking this style or these two authors. I can at least appreciate them for their works and their contributions but I just can't make myself like them.

British Lit for week six

This, or rather last week we needed to create a webpage. My assignment was give information over Lord Byron. Anyone interesting in Lord Byron can check it out here .
