Week Thirteen: Famous Last Words

The semester is almost over. I am counting down the days. This week, I have had a hard time with a paper that I have due on Tuesday. I am so overwhelmed. I have gone to the Writing Center like every single day. I went today and they all looked at me crazy. It is safe to say that they are tired of seeing me in there. I think the thought of knowing that I still have nine hours to finish over the summer is depressing. I know everything will be okay though. 

My dogs are currently staring at me. Lol. It would be nice to think that they love me but they just want my french fries. These dogs are not loyal. I love them! It is nice to have them meet  me at the door, when I come home from a long day at school. They always know when something is wrong. They will lay next to me or cuddle with me. I appreciate it. I do not understand why some people do not like dogs. I am not able to have a big dog. I do not want my dog to be bigger than me. I would be scared. 

This past weekend, my mother and I participated in Moms' Weekend. It was really exciting. We got to tour the Boyd House, which was amazing. I know that I have mentioned before that I love to watch HGTV. I loved the character of the house. It was nice. I spoke with D-Bo about graduating. I should have asked him for a career!

How is everyone else doing in school? In life? I hope everyone is doing great and finishing strong, especially those that are graduating. For those that are not graduating, enjoy every minute of it. Do not take time for granted.

Week Thirteen: Reading Diary B

My impression of the Brother's Grimm unit for the Reading Diary B assignment is similar to my impression for Reading Diary A. This half of the unit was just as interesting as the first half. Also, the  stories were similar in length and in story lines. I cannot wait to write my story for this week. This is a great unit!

Week Thirteen: Reading Diary A

This week, I have chosen to read the Brothers Grimm unit from Dan Ashliman's Grimm Brothers' Children's and Household Tales. The first story, Cat and Mouse in Partnership, is very interesting. I never knew that a cat and mouse could be in a relationship. The cat kept lying to the mouse about eating their winter food. As soon as the mouse found out, the cat ate the mouse too! You can't trust a cat. I realized from this unit that many stories were about deception. I am learning about deception in my Persuasion Principles course. Yes, it is wrong for the animals to deceive each other but they do it for survival. I think this unit is great for recreating a story in my own way.
