Week Twelve: Famous Last Words

YAY! There are just a few more weeks until this semester is over. I am barely hanging on to what is left. I think the only thing that is motivating me is that I do not have to come back. Unfortunately, I do have nine hours in the summer but I may be able to manage that. My classes are not all in the same month and such. I do not think it will be that bad.

Graduation weekend is going to be so fun. My whole entire family is coming down from Texas to spend time with me and celebrate with me. I have a huge family so we are going to have fun. I want everyone to go bowling! Also, I finally found the perfect dresses and shoes for graduation. I like to get dressed up! 

My friend and I are planning a trip to Fort Worth for Memorial Day weekend. He has never been to Six Flags! I hope all of you have been. It is so fun. We are going to do a lot of shopping! I cannot wait. I also want to go to a spa for the day. I really just want to relax and have fun. I know we are going to have a great time.

I have a job lined up for after graduation. It is not my dream job but it will do for the moment. Also, I have someone that is offering another job, which will aloow me to be flexible with my hours and has great pay. Hopefully, if everything works out, then I can accept that offer instead. 

On another note, I hope everyone else in the course is doing well. The end is almost near. Have a great week. Do not give up! I'll talk to you next week!

Celebrate!

Week Twelve: Extra Reading Diary

For my extra reading diary, I chose to read the Nursery Rhymes unit by Andrew Lang. I really like nursery rhymes for various reasons. I love poetry and stories that rhyme. I also like that they are short and get the point across. 

Babes in the Wood gave me the mystery and drama that I like to read. It is saddening that children were kidnap. I would not wish that on anyone. It makes me think of all the children that are being kidnapped and killed today. My heart goes out to those families. I do not have children of my own, but I can only imagine how they may feel. A parent should never have to bury their children. 

There was a Crooked Man and Simple Simon did not really appeal to me. They were too short. I would have appreciated a little more from the two stories. The Lion and the Unicorn was short but delightful. Delightful may not be the best word to describe the story. It was very short but it was fun. I did not really understand the point of Monday's Child. Was it talking about how people feel on a particular day of the week? Or was it talking about an actual child? These stories were all too short. Only one story was entertaining.

I never really knew the story about Little Bo-Peep. I only knew that she had sheep. I am glad that I got to read this story. I cannot think of why I have not remembered such things from my childhood. 

Overall, I honestly enjoyed this unit. It added variety between the stories. I do like how the stories varied in length, in topics, in endings. Also, the stories featured mini stories, which I gound really entertaining. This was a great unit to read.

Week Twelve: Reading Diary B

Canterbury Tales

I have enjoyed reading this unit for numerous reasons. I picked this unit because it has some romance in it. I wanted to pick a unit that I thought I would really be interested in and that I could create a story from. I have most liked units that have stories that continue. I prefer to read one long story than multiple short stories. Personally, I think women want everything. Lol.
