7th week of class

wow, this week has gone by fast for me. I have been really busy working, going to class and keeping up with homework. I have enjoyed this week's readings however some of the poems were really confusing. After reading some of the other responses, it makes the poems clearer and I will have to reread them to try to understand them again. I hope everyone has a great week. I can not believe that this class is almost over. I have enjoyed this one and I will miss it. I wish there were more English classes online.

6th Week of Class

Well, I forgot to type in here last week. So I'm going to try to type in here two times this week, not knowing if that would help my grade or not. I really enjoyed all the readings this last week. They were all insteresting and I loved the poem "When You Are Old." It just seemed intersting to me and I like how it is kind of ambiguous.
I have enjoyed making the web page. I have never made one before. I enjoyed getting all the information together and now if I ever need to make one again I know how. I can't believe that this class is almost over. Two weeks. Wow. It just seems insane in a way. My other classes will keep going but this one will be done. I have enjoyed this class. It's been quite interesting and I love to read everyone's insights and opinions on different things.

5th week of class

This has been one long week. I have been so busy with everything I felt like I was a chicken running around with my head cut off.
I have enjoyed this week's readings. Especially Great Expectations. It has been a while since I read it and this time I got so much more out of it. I think I will have to read it again in a few years to see if I can get even more out of it.
The Goblin Market poem was very interesting. I loved everyone's responses to it as well. I interpreted one way and I loved how everyone else took it another way and I could see what they meant.
I am getting a little confused on the project we are about to be working on and I just hope I can fully understand it by Monday or Tuesday. Wish me luck! Hope everyone has a great week!

4th week of class

Well, this week has gotten better for me. Everything is going a lot better.
I have really enjoyed the readings from this week. I can't decide which poem I like better. I think it might be "Say Over Again." All the poems we read have a great meaning and I enjoyed reading how everyone else in the class interpreted them and what they thought about it.
This week went by really fast and I didn't have to work a lot this week but next week I work 6 days out of the week.
Can't wait to start reading this week's assignments! Hope everyone is enjoying the class.

part 2 of Third Week

Well, I have been writing my first essay paper for this class and I just hope that I did it right. The more I think about the paper even after I have turned it in, I know I could have argued the other side as well and I sit here and second guess myself and I wonder if I should have argued the other side.
Today has not been the greatest day for me. I wish I could just go back and rewrite it. I was going home from church and I blew out a tire. Something slashed right through it. Some part of my car flew through it and now my car won't even work even after changing the tire. So now my car is in the shop and I hope they can tell me something about it tomorrow. I'm staying at my brother's house so I can use his car in the morning to get to all of my classes. I just need a new car.

Back to school work: been having a lot of homework but not bad. I mean there's a lot but it's pretty easy. I've enjoyed this class more so far and I think it's because I can choose when I can do my work. Also I don't have to worry about getting there like I do some of my other classes because of my car. Hopefully this next week opens doors and I can be in a better state of mind.

Third Week of class

This week as been really interesting and crazy. I stayed up at the hospital with my best friend because her baby was sick with RSV. Then my sister in law was also in the hospital, but now everyone is ok and I can be happy.

I enjoyed reading Frankenstein this semester. I also enjoyed what everyone else had to say about it. It opened my eyes to knew ideas about it. I liked the question about whether or not Walton was an unreliable narrator or not and that seemed really interesting. I enjoyed reading everyone's thoughts on it. I believe that he was an unreliable narrator simply because he was wanting a friend and he believed he found one in Victor and so he makes Victor seem like the good guy.

Second Week of School

Wow. I am so wore out from this week. I never thought that this week would end. This class however is making my life easier. I have had a lot of homework and I have been working as well. I work at the Bethany YMCA as a lifeguard/swim instructor. I've just been so busy I feel like I could sleep for a week.
I am about to scream at my car as well. This is not helping my stress level. I just paid off my car yesterday and today it decides to try to die on me. I have a radiator leak, my air conditioner won't work, my heater won't work, and so many other things. It's a mess. I'm trying to keep this car until I graduate and then I'll just buy a brand new car.
Oh the stresses of everyday life. I just need to sit back and take a deep breath.....

First Week Poets

I have enjoyed reading the poems from this last week. I do not know which one is my favorite but I would like to ask, which one did everyone else like? Why? Was it the way it was written? What it was about?

First Week of Class

So far I am enjoying this class. I think I am getting more out of it then my other classes. In a lot of my other classes we do not speak out loud and discuss very often because everyone is "shy." In this class, you have to which I think I get a lot more out of because I read everyone else's post and they all make sense, they are just different opinions. But it makes me look at what we read in a different way.
