The End Is Near

 I have senioritis. I know I know, how terrible. When my doctor told me I felt like digging my own coffin. Ahh no, I have allergies though. Okay, I do have senioritis and I'm exhausted, but I'm still trying to try. A little. And this is the last response to course material, so I'm definitely trying and jumping up and down in my seat because its something, I tell ya, to be nearing the end. So long so long.
 
Well, to  recap we analyzed some poetry and took a poetry test...? Yes? I wish I had had the time to focus the day we took that because I would have most likely have done better than I did. Eenie meenie monie mo is not a good test taking strategy when one cannot focus. I would know, I do it at least twice every year. It's kind of fun, actually. But my thoughts on the poetry exercises, for me, it doesn't matter how many times I practice it. If I don't find the poem interesting, I'm not going to give a you-know-what about the multiple choice answers. Not the best feedback back that I can give, but its not like I give up on the first word and spit on the test, I don't. I will attempt to answer the questions as best as my wandering mind allows, but there are more wrong answers with those bloody blocky day long poems that are so dry, one needs a glass of water to get it all down.

What else? Oh, we finished Ceremony. I think that was probably the longest book I've ever had to "read" for a class. I'm joking, I did read it and I did enjoy it once I read it. I think my class was able to pull it together and figure out the main messages of the novel, but sorry, I'm glad the discussion is done and over with. There's only so much Tayo that I can take. I did appreciate Silko's willingness to share about the Laguna tribe though. Thumbs up to you, lady. And the criticisms we read in class were interesting and at times like "Dang, did he just say that?"
 

Somewhere within the timeline we worked and looked at different prompts. The closed prompt though? I wanted to laugh when I saw the grade...I expected much worse. The day I wrote that, I don't even know where I was. Counting sheep? The hairs on my head? Who knows. And even though I'm presenting myself in a light mood right now, I'm still freaked for the test. It all depends on the prompt. If I got it I got. If not, I want my $90 back.

 
And lastly, the project. I actually don't have much to say on that. A few choice words, but I'll keep them in. Interested in looking at what my classmates came up with, though.
