OH MY GOODNESS.

       This week we focused on timed writings and how to improve them. I wrote one essay  and got a "see me" and then that day in class you asked us to write a paragraph on a new topic. When i got that one back i magically got a 7 something. I was amazed. So, i have been working on my actual essays re-write. I have been basically been doing the same thing as what i did when i rewrote a chunk of paragraph. If you focus on particular words and themes in that section only you begin to go further in depth. It is amazing! thank you so much for that activity we had to do.    
        Now, since i don't really have anything to talk about i will talk about my weekend. I went on a church retreat  and we played this game guys vs. girls about who knew more about the other. The guys were convinced they knew more about us girls and that they were superior. this of course, made me think of Hamlet. Hamlet thinks that men are superior to women. In the nunnery scene Hamlet treats Ophelia like a joke. He pushes her around and tells her lies that just mess with her head. This later drives her to madness. Also, during this game, the guys had a question to name three of the disney princesses and it made me remember the social commentaries and the psychological thingamajigs we studied in the beginning of the year. I thought it was funny that you have forever corrupted my brain with you AP Lit stuff. Now i have this dang AP Lit brain and people constantly think i am a weirdo.  oh well. I will live... I guess. maybe. hmm. I was not the only one on this retreat that kept quoting Hamlet. Harper and austin were quoting it like it was their job. haha. i am positive people wanted to punch us so badly. My friends kept yelling at me. I hope their are plenty of nerds in college.  
      I am really excited to learn about sonnets. I like how they can be structured but not feel structured at all. okay.... i quit. I have to tell you how thankful i am for the letter of recommendation you wrote me. Thanks to you i have gotten scholarships for two of three schools and i have not even heard from that third school. You must have written s great letter. So thank you. so much. I GOT INTO MY DREAM SCHOOL! Kansas City Art Institute likes me! they really really like me! :) eeeeek thank you so much.
