Midterms!
One of these days I WILL walk out of a class feeling like I aced a test! Today, unfortunately, is not the day.
I studied for my midterm in my Literature course, but not effectively enough. The quote recognition KILLED me. Paul Walker is a freaking actor, not an author!! Sheesh, I about decked myself after I handed it in. ALICE Walker wrote "Everyday Use" We only talked about it every single day just about. But on a higher note, I just scanned through my notes and realized I did the Freytag Pyramid correctly. I totally pulled it out of my arse, hoping it'd be right and it was. The vocab I did pretty good on. Except "The voice of poetry is called what?" and "The voice of fiction is called what?" I had no clue so I put narrator for both, hoping that I'd have a 50/50 chance. Another one wrong is Cult of True Womanhood, though my answer COULD be right, it's highly unlikely. I'm hoping for at least a B on that part. The essay that was worth 100 pts...well, I used all of the terms if that counts. If I pulled a high C out of this exam, I'll be happy. Considering I BOMBED my analytical paper and we have an upcoming 10 page paper--which I have yet to pick a topic because they're so boring to me. I hate literature. I like to read but I hate analyzing it in writing forms. I like to discuss it and see what things everyone else picked out and reading it cane be ok but other than that, BLAH!
I'm having major writing block!! I have to write some fiction and I haven't wrote fiction in a looong time. I want to stay away from the car crash stuff (since she says that she read those stories EVERY semester) and I'm drawn to writing about eating disorders though I have no idea why. I've written a damn good poem about it and in my social work class, the person I chose to analyze was a male with an eating disorder. I'm not anorexic or bulimic nor have I ever come anywhere near that state, it just fascinates me for some odd reason. So if anyone has any suggestions of what I should write about, send them my way!!
On a happier note. Today is my baby's birthday :) I guess his momma is making lasagna for dinner. I may stop by IGA after school and pick up something sweet for him. Oooh! I could make my sister's easy dessert but I don't know what fruit he'd like. I could just make it with cherries. I may make some cupcakes too, incase he doesn't get a cake. Gosh! I'll need to do this right after school. Luckily, I already wrapped his gifts. Yeah, I know he'll like them. I don't want to say what I got him in case he reads this before tonight.
Uhm, I think that's all. I have 2 hours before my next class and I don't know what I'm going to do....ah, I have stuff to do, it's just a matter of doing it ya know?
