e-Portfolio

It's that time of the semester again; e-Portfolio time, that is. Today in class, after course eval, Ms. Frailly brought in the laptop cart and announced that it was time to start building our e-Portfolio. It's been an interesting class so far; Tyler, Ms. Frailly and Cameron started a Moron Club (they said I could join), I have not been able to type effectively, and the sound of other fingers tapping their keyboards is the background as Ms. Frailly walks around and helps us morons in our distress. Actually, creating this with Google is sooo much easier than the way we did it last semester with Epsilen. I like doing it in Google also because I can change the layout and personalize it with Colors, Backgrounds, and other groovy things like that. I am so glad that Ms. Frailly has kept everything in Google this semester, everything has been so much smoother! Welp, its 12:15, gotta go to math!

Another reflection!

The night before our Hamlet paper was due, I brainstormed and worked and worked until around 4am. I had originally planned to just make a few changes and tweek it a little bit, but when I got started working on it and got focused, I couldn't stop. I kept writing and writing until I had over 7 pages. So I edited and cut and revised until I had 6 pages. When I was revising, though, and looking for literary support, I uncovered a lot of quotes and phrases that Hamlet used that were really harsh and cruel. I guess I overlooked them, because I was like 'Whoa! That blow was fierce'. I learned alot about the play just by reading through it over and searching for support. I didn't want to stop but when I looked at the clock and it said 4 oclock, I realized that I needed to go to sleep. zzzzzzzzzzz

Poison

AHHHH! I think that I am going to go crazy! I have worked on my paper all weekend long and only have 3 pages. I even stayed up until almost 4 this morning working on it. I pretty much scrapped the revision that I brought into class last week and started over. I am becoming really frustrated with myself because of my inability to stay focused and effectively argue my thesis. I have done a lot of revising but am still going nuts about this paper. GEES, I think that I need sleep, and we're supposed to turn this in on Wednesday! Yeah I think that I will go ahead and admit myself to a crazy person institute! Ok well I jsut realized that it is class time, so here I go with my paper that is lacking! .......
