Holy Moly I'm Getting There!

I successfully did my presentation and think that I did relatively well. I am going to try to find some time to take photos foryou all but I haven't run into any at the moment. I just finished a paper that was due and turned it in. I have officially taken my last quiz for the semester and read my last book too! Now it is down to just writing up the 15-20 page research paper and three other final exams that will be happening next week.

I am starting to feel accomplished, which may or may not be a good thing, but I still have a lot to do.  I keep telling myself it will be over soon and now that I have a week left it is starting to feel true!  SWEET!

Getting there....

So, I have officially thrown myself into a hole and have researched, typed, printed, cut-out, pasted, taped, stapled, glued, colored, drawn, and painted ALL weekend to finish this project of mine due tomorrow! I can now say that I am ALMOST DONE!!!!! (Wiping the sweat off of my brow.) I have put a lot of effort into this darn thing and am finally getting to the point where I am liking it. I hope all this work pays off....I guess we shall find out tomorrow!

Okay, just wanted to let those concerned that I AM still alive and will be returning to the world in about a week and a half. (Maybe with a few short update entries here and there.)

Smile! The semester is almost over, that is reason enough for me to!

After a lovely game of chess...

which was so very refreshing, thank you Mr J., I have had the start to a bad week. I just know this is going to suck. I have LOTS of stuff to do...including a GINORMOUS presentation for monday. But, I have figured out how I will present it, that is always good, now I just have to prepare it all (not good) and, of course, I always have to go that extra mile and make it harder than it has to be...but it will be worth it. My topic is the feminist art movement, so my plan is to do everything within the arts genre, instead of boring ol' power point. I will have to post pictures of the awesomeness when I am done with it.

Ok. That's really all I had to say. Welcome to FINALS TIME! Let the stress begin!

A little something different...

I have an obsession

With Robert Frost...I do hope you all are enjoying him as much as I do...if not, too bad, I will probably always post poems of his. (But maybe the Frost kick I am on will come to an end soon. You never know.)

Enjoy.

Waiting

Afeild at Dusk

By Robert Frost

What things for dream there are when spectre-like,
Moving among tall haycocks lightly piled,
I enter alone upon the stubble field,
From which the laborers' voices late have died,
And in the antiphony of afterglow
And rising full moon, sit me down
Upon the full moon's side of the first haycock
And lose myself amid so many alike.

I dream upon the opposing lights of the hour,
Preventing shadow until the moon prevail;
I dream upon the night-hawks peopling heaven,
Each circling each with vague unearthly cry,
Or plunging headlong with fierce twang afar;
And on the bat's mute antics, who would seem
Dimly to have made out my secret place,
Only to lose it when he pirouettes,
And seek it endlessly with purblind haste;
On the last swallow's sweep; and on the rasp
In the abyss of odor and rustle at my back,
That, silenced by my advent, finds once more,
After an interval, his instrument,
And tries once--twice--and thrice if I be there;
And on the worn book of old-golden song
I brought not here to read, it seems, but hold
And freshen in this air of withering sweetness;
But on the memory of one absent most,
For whom these lines when they shall greet her eye.
