Our class has been assigned another research paper that I have yet to start on. I’m not quite sure what topic I care about that much to write seven hundred words on. Lately I’ve been so focused on Anatomy that everything else has just been pushed to the back of my mind. English has never really been a strong subject for me so I’ll be glad when the day comes where I will no longer need to take it! It’s that time of the year where I need to be signing up for my spring semester, and boy do I not care! A part of me is so over college, but the other part wants to be an over achiever. My dream one day is to become a radiologist but these classes suck.

Weekend is finally here

I'm am so glad this week is coming to an end! This week has been filled with major stress. For the past week or so I have been spending all my free time(which isn't that much) on trying to study for my Lab test, I needed to do good on this test. With my mind fully concentrated on that, I also had to write a rough draft for English and then find time to study for my Anatomy Test that I had today. I studied so my for my lab that when I was finished studying I just wanted to give my mind a break and relax. And don't forget that on top of all that I also had to go to work! That Anatomy test sucked and I'm not looking forward to seeing my results. Sometimes I just feel like there are not enough hours in one day!!! Now it's off to work:/

Out of class project!

My out of class project was going to the Flux concert at the National!! Unfortunately Flux only played for like an hour and the other two opening acts played FOREVER!!! The place was packed with crazy and wild teenagers, ready to let loose.  At the beginning of the night, the rain was a real damper but when the music started playing all of that was not a factor.  My favorite part was the panda!!! Some random person was dressed in a panda outfit just dancing around! Once Flux got on that stage though the crowd went insane, the bass was so loud I could feel it in my chest. There were some crazy people that really got annoying but over all that concert was amazing and I would absolutely love to go again!!!

The Glass Menagerie

This past week of class we've been watching and reading The Glass Menagerie.  This story is about a family who lost their father, not by death, the father just left them one day.  The characters are the mother (Amanda), the son (Tom) and the sister (Laura).  The brother and daughter are both grown but still live with their mother, and at points find themselves feeling trapped.  The mother is quite over bearing and desperately wants the best for her children, for Tom to be successful and for Laura to settle down with a nice man.  With the mothers over protective nature Tom plots this plan to one day pick up his belongings and leave.  Laura has a slight limp and she hides behind her defect, letting it stop her from living her life.
  
          Amanda pleads with Tom asking him to bring a gentlemen caller for Laura.  So one day Tom brings home a co-worker Jim, to have dinner with the family.  Laura soon realizes that this Jim is the boy she's been madly in love with since high school.  Laura soon starts to warm up to Jim and become quite close, come to find out Jim has a woman back home, soon to be married.  When Amanda hears this her cheery complexion turns into a pitiful gloom.  Reminded of the thought that her daughter may never find love. 

          Amanda the mother tries to be proper but always comes off as being shellfish.  When Tom wants to go out and do his own thing she makes him feel guilty for leaving her and his sister.  What she has a hard time seeing is that she's pushing the people in her life out, never to come back!
