This is the end ;'(

It is all ending too soon.......

 My experience in this class was nourishing. It was a much needed wake up call. I thank you, Professor Wesley, so much more than you can imagine. During these five weeks, you've made me happy, scared, irritated, delighted, grateful, etc. I have opened my eyes to things they were closed to before. My perspective upon issues has changed. I am going to make better decisions. I am going to manage my time better. I am going to turn in ALL my assignments in ON TIME. You are the reason behind all of this. I like how you are so well put together if that makes sense. You are calm, cool, collected, wise, but can set somebody straight when you have to. You are one of the teachers where I would come and visit just to have a conversation. When 2017 comes around and it's time for me to graduate, you are one of the teachers I'd bring a gift to because you made a difference in my life. You helped me get to where I am. I know I don't talk much in class or ever go to your office; that's because I'm scared of you to be honest. I loved my class! My classmates are a little extra sometimes but that's just the way they are. I will never forget this pre-college experience with these diverse people. I will miss everyone!!

Research session 7/22

The session in the library was dreadful. If I didn't feel so weak and had a headache, I would have had enough information to write 9 pages. Instead, I barely have enough for 3 pages. I did well picking out the books for my topic. I don't see the point of writing down information from a book when I can directly type it onto the computer. That's why I checked out the books in the first place. I feel so weak; discombogulated; stressed out; I am ready to finish this essay. Usually I can work through my sickness but this is real. It's going to be okay because I am going to complete it to the fullest potential unlike my conpare/contrast essay. I have to pass this class with flying colors! I didn't get this far just to give up. Somebody is going to help me tonight! I don't like asking people for help sometimes because I don't want to be a burden. This last essay is going to be an A. Mark my words. I'm not giving up too easy! 

Argumental Essay

This essay is going to be crucial!I think it is going to be fun finding information regarding absent fathers. Absent fathers are common in this generation and that is sad. It is ridiculous how a "man" doesn't do what a real man should do. If you are man the you make manly decisions. You learn to put your children before yourself. 

The obesity essay we read in class had several points that intrigued me to learn more about what that author had to say. I didn't know that Lard was healthy. I was taught and told that using lard to cook meals was artery clogging. Evidently not because from the research he had done, evidence showed lard contained healthy ingredients. If I had enough money, I would make a restaurant where fruits and vegetables were as cheap as hamburgers and fries. No one wouldn't mind eating healthy because it would be affordable. When I go to Foodlion, a bag of apples cost about $5 and they aren't even big! Camaria did explain to me that produce is more expensive than meat, cheese, etc. I just think it is crazy that a salad costs $6.20 and a large big mac meal costs $4.75. We are so backwards.

Violence, Kids, and a Headache

 I believe some kids are effected by violence. If your child begins to show signs that they are effected by it, it's your job to step in and handle it. I used to play GTA (Grand Theft Auto), 007 (James Bond), and other violent games with my brothers when I was around 8 or 9. I am almost 18 now and those games have not changed me. As a matter of fact, I am far from violent. My attitude has not changed since then. I am the nicest person you can meet. My friends here and at home tell me I need to be meaner but I don't see the point. It all depends on the kid whether it makes a change or not. Take for example the Columbine High School shooting massacre. Dylan Klebod and Eric Harris were students who used bombs and guns to kill and injure innocent students. One fact people miss is that Dylan and Eric played violent video game called "Doom". Doom is a science-fiction horror game where the player has to fight and kill demons from Hell. That by itself scares me. They often wrote down in journals the suicidal thoughts they had. The responsibility of the parents is to protect their children from violence in any type of source. I could see by when I woke up, today was not going to be my day. I'm tired of all this work. Now I have headaches everyday and I never have enough time in a day to do all that I need to do. I have a headache now, have the chills, I fall asleep everyday in math class, and it's just so much. I need to go to the infirmary but I don't have time today and its closed tomorrow. I need more of Jesus, truly! Not just now but all the time.

1965 Never Knew

I never realized how Nel was so similar to Sula. Both of them watched stuff happen that they could've stopped from the beginning. That compare amd contrast essay was something serious! I promise I did not get more than 75 minutes of sleep last night because I was working on my precious essay. Yes, I could've been had it done but I procrastinated yet again. I'm not doing anything but making it harder on myself. I really have to grow out of this laziness. I literally could not think last night though. 

I tried my hardest to just let it all out on the keyboard but it wouldn't come out. I stared at the screen for about an hour before I started "flowing". I need someone to explain to me why Nel told Shadrack that she was Sula at the end. I was a little confused about that. I wonder if Toni Morrison will ever let a producer create a Sula movie. I would most definitely go see it the first day it comes out. My literary skills were so much better in high school! I swear they were but this just means I have to work harder. 

1941 Sula Changes things

I honestly did not read the chapter last night but I did skim over it. I remember seeing something about Shadrack and his followers went to vandalize the construction site because they wouldn't hire blacks. At the end of the chapter, I saw it said the Dewey's bodies were never found which meant they died. It also said that Shadrack felt lonely for a moment. Sula impacted the town more than anyone thought. I am worried about this compare and contrast essay. I don't know what has happened to my vocabulary and grammar. I used to read ALL the time and my vocabulary was much more broader than it is now. Right now I am listening to Beyonce (Me, Myself, & I) and I just realized I could've used it on my glog to describe how Nel felt about the situation with Sula and Jude. I'm going to make sure I read the rest of Sula tonight. I know I shouldn't have went to that party last night but my friends were very persuasive. I was getting it! It was some really cute dudes there. All the sororities/fraternities were getting down. Being serious though, I've been so caught up in just trying to finish my work that I'm not even analyzing what I'm learning. I'm going to better though! I am determined to leave here with my six credits! 

I used Animoto my senior year at Knightdale High School. I thought it was pretty cool. I like it because you can create something for a friend then email it to them. As far as Popplet is concerned, it's nice. It reminds me of Prezi which is a power point presentation website.

1940 Sickness

LOVESICK

I know Sula is physically sick but she is also lovesick. Lovesick: In love, or missing the person one loves, so much that one is unable to act normally. Both Sula and Nel are lovesick. Nel is lovesick because she has lost her husband and is losing a friend slowly. Sula is lovesick because Ajax was the one she loved and cared for and he left her empty. The whole time Sula has been looking for love in all the wrong places. She said Jude filled in a space but what she doesn't know is that it was just temporary. The love Nel had for Sula was continuous. Sula took Nel and her love for granted. Nel is such a good friend. For all the drama and hurt she put her through, she still put went to her on her death bed to see her. She even went to get the girl prescription. Nel was a sweetheart and Sula had a bitter heart. Sula wanted to have her own world where she could be alone with no distractions. After Nel left she got what she wanted. Sula was alone in Eva's bedroom with the boarded up window. Sula turned away from the window because "it soothed her with sturdy termination". She finally had no distractions....
