Well,

Well, if you haven't noticed I'm posting back to back because I have been slacking on the blogging thing. I don't even have social media to begin with, well I have an Instagram but I don't typically post on it, and I have a twitter but I don't even have the app downloaded on my phone. So like I was saying, I don't even use social media for the most part and I just totally forget about blogging. I got a better about it last semester when I downloaded the blogger app, it made it a lot more convenient. It was especially cool like when I went to New York, or did my out of class experience things because you could upload pictures straight off your phone onto your posts. If you don't have the app and you feel like you're not really fitting blogging into your schedule, you should most definitely download the app. It's free! :)

The Glass Menagerie

I'm definitely going to have to re read this whole thing. I'm so lost with this play. I really can't follow the movie. I think it's because it's so old. I can't seem to even pay attention to it when I'm reading it. Hopefully any small questions I have about it will be able to be answered by Google or something. I really hate to ask questions when I feel like I'm the only one not getting this. I hate reading old timey stuff. What's a menagerie anyways? I'm gonna have to look that one up as well I suppose.

Essay #1 - Rough Draft…..

So, I just had to re-do my whole rough draft for my character analysis essay (essay #1). For whatever reason my computer did not want to save the original, and it has been lost since then. I don't really feel that my new one is as good as the first one. I actually don't even feel like it is even on my writing level. It sounds like a child's writing to me. I hope I can spice it up a little as I'm writing the final in just a little bit. I haven't really had much time to put into my "Glass Menagerie" essay. I need to re-read the whole first half, I'm quite lost with this play. Oh, and I didn't mention that I did my first essay on "How to Become a Writer", but that's what I did it on.

Sweeny's Lit Reader

I think I'm really feelin' this like custom literature book Sweeny's got set up for 102.  I imagine it probably saved us all loads of money; probably the least expensive book we'll ever purchase in our college careers. Plus, I also feel that it is easier to read short stories or excerpts from them, rather than read a whole, super long novel. The one's we have read so far have seemed to be quite…interesting…entertaining…confusing…different/odd… or a combination of all of the above.  I don't think it's going to be hard to blog about these stories or the discussions we have about them in class, since they are so…"out there" .

Second Semester Sweenglish

I think I forgot to post last week.  So this will be my first post of this semester.  I have to say I'm looking forward to another semester begin done with, but I'm not looking forward to writing this research paper I've heard about. Well that being said, I'm also not looking forward to writing the other three papers either. Oh, but for anyone who hasn't taken Sweenglish before: It's the best English class ever . Well, I guess I'll save some for later.
