Quick little AN

Well I posted an AN, author's note, on Persephone.  I explained how busy I have been with school and the fact I'm having an exam and doing the article summary this coming week.  I'll try to post an update soon.  I do plan to work on Chapter 12, I just can't do it at the moment, even though I want to.

The First Day of Fall

Well this morning I made my brother and me bacon and cheese biscuits.  I got a fairly good parking space today.  I’m pretty close to the building I’m in all day.  I went to the library and typed up the two sections of the article for today.  I am already on the 3^rd page.  I still have two more to do and one is really long.  I’ve already gone in and looked to see if there was anything I could remove, and not affect the summary of the article so I don’t go over five pages.

K.  I finally have Test 1 and Project 1 back in MCM 100.  I got an 88/100 on Test 1 and a C+ on Project 1.  He really went on about the fact I didn’t have a quote from a bookstore manager.  Not my fault.  I had tried to contact him, but he never replied to my email.  I feel that if you have given out your email, then you should answer it.  Oh, well.  I’ll post the article I wrote maybe tomorrow.  Well now that we have had our first test, my MCM 100 professor has decided to do open book pop quizzes.  I guess it cause so many of us aren’t paying attention to him since he isn’t really doing anything.  Some are reading the book, others are writing notes from the book, and some are doing other classes’ work.

So after class, which was let out early, like 10 minutes or something.  I went to the library and typed up more of my blog, which is above.  I did debate working on the article summary, but I plan to use the time before ENG 271 to study.

K.  In GEO 100, Quiz 2 opens today.  I plan to take it tomorrow.  I have already turned in the Chapter 5 Review Questions.  I need to work on the Class Project. The project is a trip around the world, money is no object.  I have to visit every section of the world that is covered in my book.  I have my theme.  I’m going with locations of movies.  I plan to go from here to New York, New York.  I will of course visit Ground Zero and the Statue of Liberty.  Then I plan to go to Europe, mostly because it was the first area covered.  I plan to go to either Greece or Italy.  These are two places I really want to go.  I am of course half Italian American so it kinda makes sense.  Then I have to go to Russia.  I will say I went to St. Petersburg or whatever it’s called now.  Blame Anastasia, the Fox movie.  Then I have to decide where I go from there.  I can’t remember right now which area is next.  I have a rough outline.  I plan to go to India, Egypt, Australia, Madagascar, Peru, and Thailand.  I was going to do ancient religions or cultures, but that didn’t’ really work.  I could still do it, but the movie idea works a bit better.

You can all tell me what you think.  I will post a bit of it every now and then.  It’s due in December, but I want to be finished with it before I have to start working on my final essay in ENG 271.  I have a good question, who really thinks that someone can write a 3-5 page paper in two days.  I mean I could, but I like to stretch it out so that it’s not too much on me.  I’ll be finished with this one before Monday.  I’m still studying for the Exam on Ancient World.  I have filled out my index card.  I picked things that I know for sure will be on the exam and some things I may have a hard time remembering.  I will of course tell you all how this all goes.

K. So I went to the library orientation my ENG 271 professor made us go to.  I sat through something that I already knew.  Then we went into the library.  I found out that the article that I have so much done for isn’t going to work.  So now I have a new one and I’m going to work on it.

Also I have to take the quiz, which I changed to today instead of tomorrow.

Last Day of Summer

Well today I started on the article summary.  I should have the summary part finished in two more days.  Then I have to do my response.  I’m hoping that the summary takes up most of the 3-5 pages.  I don’t have much to reposed to the article.  So far I agree with it completely.  I have six parts to cover and I’ve already done the first two.  So tomorrow while at campus I’ll do the next two and then on Friday I’ll do the last two and work on the response over the weekend.  It’s not due till next Thursday, but I feel better knowing that it is done ahead of time.

On another English 271 note, my first “exam” will be on Tuesday, next week, so I’ve printed out my notes and I’ve started to study.  She’s allowing us one 4x6 index card, only one side, for information.  I’m wishing I had just taken this class online.  I would have to write two big papers, but that would be fine cause I would have quizzes and I would have tests that were open book.

I’ve got a rough outline for the GEO 100 project.  I just need to start the research part.

I’ll let you all know about the Test and Project I in MCM 100, when I get info on them.

Well I pooped three times today.  And the last two ended up mushy.  I think it had to be all the apple juice I have been drinking today.  My dad says it makes you go.

Had a little pain in belly today, but not too bad.  My right ankle is still bugging me.  I think it might be tendonitis.  I could ask my cousin.  She is going to school to be a physical therapist.  She would know.

Anyway, that’s all for today.  I may start telling you all what’s going on with my Sims from Sims 3.  I just killed off the parents and had their daughter with her husband get a big house so that his mother could move in with them.  I’m planning to make them have triples so they’ll need all the help they can get.

May Know What's Wrong

Not much to report today.  Except I may have found out what’s wrong with me.  I got some GasX.  Well it seems that all I have had is gas.  I’m not 100% convinced yet, but I’ll give it a few days.

It would be really bad if all it was gas.  If it is I feel really bad.

From Thursday to Sunday

Well I haven’t posted in the last few days since nothing has really happened.  Not much happened today either, but I figured I would let you all know what’s going on.  I got the bill from St. Vincent’s.  It’s over $2,000.  That doesn’t include the $400 and something bill for the CT scan.  So I have to call and try to set up a payment plan.  Anyway, still having pain, but it’s not bad.  It’s just annoying.

Oh, on Thursday, I took my first test in MCM 100.  It wasn’t too bad.  Also I turned in my article.  I never heard back from the manager so I had to write it without him.  I didn’t lie.  I used information I gained by looking at the bookstore website.  The next project is a recording.  So I have to think about what I’m going to do that on.

Well you all know about ENG 271 so I wont’ say anything there.

Mostly for the last few days I’ve been playing Sims 3.  I’ve started on the questions for Chapter 5 in GEO 100.  Also I’m looking over things for the quiz this week in the class.

I haven’t worked on Persephone since I last updated.  I did finally clean up my room on Saturday, aka yesterday.

Not much else to tell you all.  So hope you have a good week.

Venting

I have a few things to vent out today.  I'll go in order that the happened in.

1. In ENG 271, we were once again covering The Aeniad.  Well in it brings up Cassandra.  You know the priestess that Apollo cursed where no one would believe her because she refused to be his bride.  Well someone brought her up and I was trying to explain that little fact, which by the way is in the book, and I got hushed.  She did apologize after class, but I felt like that it was useless.  Cassandra plays a part in what happens to the Greeks.  Because Ajax the lesser rapes her in the temple of Athena, Athena punishes the Greeks.

2. When a county is going to do work on a dead end street, they need to warn the residents.  When I came home from campus at about 2:00 pm, I had to wait for them to move a bulldozer.  I did see someone paint on the yards and things yesterday, but there was no warning.  Did they not think that someone could come home?  I was really worried cause the car was about to over heat and I really needed to get back home.  I almost parked in my yard, but we do have a small ditch.  Not good for my little car.

10 Gal Set Up

Well took my brother to school.  Then came back home and washed clothes.  Played Sims 3 till finished.  Then went to Hobby Lobby and got the cover for Buddy’s tank.  Then went to wal-mart and got me two pairs of jeans.  I can’t fit in my 16s in anymore.  Then got me a footlong from subway.  Then came home ate, sub and study for test tomorrow.

Then started on Buddy’s tank and changing the water in his bowl.  The 10 gal is all set up.  I may have to get a new heater.  Great.  I can’t put him in it until the tank is cycled, which could take up to a month or more.

Not much else to say for today.
