Hell week is almost over..... YAAAAAAAYY!!!!!
This was probably one of worst weeks that I can remember having this early in the school semester.
My English class had two reading responses due within a week of each other (last Monday this coming Monday) which are basically 2+ page essays each, a Math test Tuesday, and all of my homework for Spanish class due with a quiz this coming Monday. Because I finished most of all of my stuff in advanced, all I have left right now is my Spanish quiz (which I'm actually confident about).
This all wouldn't have been so bad though if my group in English class didn't have our group project due yesterday. That also wouldn't have been so bad if the teacher hadn't assigned us (and the group that went before us) our project topic only a week before it was due, while all the other groups have known theirs since classes started. All things considered though, I think my group did pretty well. :)
I was in charge of getting and presenting the information on the author. I wrote almost a page and a half long paper with pictures and stuff that was actually kind of useless since the paper itself wasn't used lol. It did work as a way for me to remember all the stuff that I found on her, and throughout the day and during loading times while I was playing Soul Calibur V, I recited that information in my head so many times that I remembered it all without having to look at my paper lol! YAY!!!
Despite one of my group members having to redo the entire PowerPoint right before class (4 out of 5 of us were about 10 minutes late to class trying to get everything together), all of our group members pulled through and we spent over 20 minutes (which is supposed to be the minimum amount of time presenting the project), which capped off a pretty awful week happily for me. I feel bad for one of our group members though, because she didn't get to present all of her study questions, which were all really, really good and well researched.
That's about all for this blog sooooo, bye. *smiles, winks, and waves*
Sidenote: As for that plan...... I don't see it happening lol. He strikes me as way too........... ummm... uptight? Like if someone suggested anything to him, it would flip his world upside down lol.
Dearest Johnny,
ReplyDeleteWell, I am glad that you managed to tackle your week of hell with divine superpowers (and a heck of a lot of grit). Yet, you have left me wondering about the subject of this mysterious presentation. As human beings, we can tolerate much more than we think we can.
Espero que tengas buena suerte (y mucho exito) en la prueba manana.

Oh, I didn't notice I never mentioned it lol. Our topic was on the poem, "Poem about my Rights" by June Jordan (*snaps into recital mode*), who was born on July 9, 1936 in Harlem, New York to Jamaican immigrants. She had a rough childhood and (*snaps out of recital mode*)......... Oh sorry, just putting her name there made me start reciting her history again lol.
ReplyDeleteOur poem topic gave us a lot of leg room in terms of what to tackle or talk about because not only was it about being a woman, but also about being a black woman, and also dealing with rape. Some of my group members (including me) actually were touched by the poem, which helped with presentation, and in a class that's like 85% Black women, most of our class related to it too.
June Jordan herself, who was born on June 9, 1936 in........ Oh, sorry. She herself was a very trailblazer-y woman, giving Black women a voice in a time where Black women didn't really have one. She also did a lot, she was wrote plays, kids' books, essays, columns, and she was an activist. She wrote about everything under the sun (racism, sexism, homosexuality including her own bisexuality, the declining US school system, childhood, abuse, you name it, she probably wrote about it) and it's a shame that I probably never would have heard of her if it wasn't for this project.
Looking at this comment, I kinda did go into recital mode lol.
Also, thanks for wishing me luck. :)
(At first I only noticed que, tengas, buena, manana, and y mucho. Once I looked up suerte, I remembered espero, and when I looked up exito, I remembered prueba lol.
