Accomplishments
Well, so far this week, I’ve managed to choke out three of the five poetry papers. It has been a very painful process. And then Kris had the audacity to laugh at the length of them. They’re kind of, um, short. I’m hoping I can get by with them.
One of my classmates showed me his papers and, in my knowledgeable opinion (hah!), they really weren’t very good and he claimed he got A’s on them. These goofy papers are only worth one point with the whole class being worth a total of 100 points. I’ve got one extra credit point already and am planning to get another if I can write a summary of the play I went to, so that would be equivalent to two of those papers. The trick would be to get at least .74ths of a point so I don’t have to do them over.
I’m simply out of the frivolous fluff it takes to write those things and I’ve still got two one-point poetry papers to write and two heavier poetry papers to write with one of them being worth ten whole points and the other being worth somewhere around five points.
I watched a boring video on Robert Frost and his poetry. I finally have figured out that most poets write this stuff when they are depressed. And then our literature teachers force us to read it, which sends us into a blue funk that could almost make poets out of us. Seriously, most of the poets we’ve been looking at were eccentric, strange people.
I’ve done some research and written some of my persuasive speech but it’s far from being done.
I managed to watch one of the videos for my Western Civ class but didn’t care for it much so I may try to find another one to do a report on. I’m just not real sure.
I attempted to go to the Kentucky Library to read manuscripts only to find it closes early during spring break. Go figure!
I worked on my federal tax return.

Yeah, this literature stuff is depressing!! I personally hate most modern poetry, because it has no rhyme, no rhythm, and no specific meter. Definitely for the birds! However, I like poets such as the afore-mentioned Frost, John Greenleaf Whittier, and some of their contemporaries. I like true poetry; I even write it sometimes. But you have to feel inspired to be able to write effectively.
