Class

Alright so this week we got another project. This one is kind of a to-do project. For this project I chose the genre of doing a musical. It was an interesting topic and it's not something I know alot about. It was pretty stressful trying to put the similarities of musicals together because there is such s wide variety of shows and their isn't really a setting structure that they all follow there seems to always be an exception to the rule. I started my journal and figured out what I want my project to be on. It should be fun because there hasn't been any published musicals or playwrights written on my historica theme. I have looked at the three musicals of the sound of music, west side story and the wizard of oz to set up the structure of my story.

My Weekend

Alright, well this weekend was a lot of fun. It was fun celebrating my birthday which is tmrw! I'm going to be 19 so I guess that means I can drink in most of Europe and Canada now. So really nothing life changing or socially altering. Celebrating my birthday is about to be alot of fun but this weekend was the best weekend celebration I ever had. My boyfriend came up from Notre Dame to visit and bought me a nice card and ND sweatshirt. I love them and he did well on shopping for me. My friend Alex came to my room and dropped off my gift of a sweater and comfy knee socks. I also love them. In the mailI got awesome shoes and a jacket from my family. Although I won't be celebrating with my whole family I'm excited about my mom coming up to take me out to dinner tmrw!

Class

This week was a good week because I love fairy tale stories and this week we finally got to create one. It was interesting that we read three different fairy tales from the brother's grimm and then find what makes a fairy tale and that was our syllabus. I thought of a few stories and finally I was able to find one with a clear message and a lesson to learn from it. Sitting in class we discussed how the three stories were similar and it was surprising how all of the stories followed a set structure and no matter the story the ending always ended happily for the central good character.

The Weekend

This weekend I went to Spring Awakening and my brother came up to visit me. He goes to state so I hadn't seen him since, well I came to college. The show was really very good. Although I found the entire casts songs best and the lead girl weakest, the preformance was overall well done. The microphones seemed rather low during some of the songs making it hard to hear. The smaller parts seemed to have better voices than the leads which made me think that they were casted because it was their senior year. The group numbers were very good and the music was excellent. The acting was very believable so I had fun.

Research Paper

Although I had got everything done in time I was very frantic in class this week because I had two midterms and the paper was the last thing I wanted to focus on. Little did I know that the class was a great break to calm my nerves and get useful comments and critiques from classmates. We went through our paper reading it out loud which was very helpful because it was easy to see where my paper had its errors and breaks. It was also good to get a hard copy of the evaluations to look back on the paper with. I don't really enjoy reading my own paper out loud because I was a little embarrassed but overall it was a good way to easy my mind and get help with the paper.

My Weekend

I had a great weekend once again I found myself at notre dame visiting my boyfriend. It was fun because everyone was dressing up for the halloween dance. It was sponsored by redbull and I was surprised how many people went. It was to raise money for the troops so the name of the dance was 'rave for the brave,' it was a nice cause that they were raising money for. On Saturday notre dame had a football game and they have a winning streak so everyone on campus' faces were glued to the tv while the irish played against Oklahoma. Notre dame won and in all the excitement someone pulled the fire alarm and everyone had to evacuate the building. It sucked because it was cold, wet and raining outside. I had fun but I would have been much happier if I had stayed dry!
