Act III Remix

This is my Act III remix (I drew it meee self too!) On the left  is Claudius, panicking at the scene before him. The scene being acted out is of a man being poisoned and killed by another man, the other man symbolizing him. He gets paranoid and it shows on his face. In the back is Horatio. I'm aware that Horatio was not actually in the back (I'm also aware flat-screens didn't exist back then, but hey it's a remix) but the reason I put him back there is because Claudius is unaware that he's being watched. The spot light is not only on the actors but on him for his play is being shown as well. Horatio watches Claudius and decides he is guilty.

How I did on the Midterm is the same as I expected

Double meaning up there.
1) I thought I did well and I did.
2) What I expected is what I knew (refer to blog post where we reflect on how we think we did)

I attribute my incredible memorizing skills to the wonderful A I received.

How can I improve? Ummmm...... not sure. Think I'm pretty good. I'm sure Preston would love for me to do more than just memorize then throw away the definitions. I'll try that I guess. I'll try to keep the info in my head rather than dispose of it post test taking.

Dear O

Dear O,

You seem like you're dealing with multiple factors. You're fighting against what your father wants and what you want. Not entirely an aberration, but you're getting there. Don't truckle under your father's wishes quite yet. Consider that you may be running into this a little too fast and rethink your motives. You may be in love with Hamlet, but will you be in love with all his baggage as well? Consider what you're getting yourself into and analyze if it's worth it. Don't let anyone inveigle your feelings, although your emotions are only imperceptible at the moment. Don't propitiate your feelings either. Look deep into your heart and give it more time. It appears as though you're pulling a Sibyl Vane and falling in love with a "prince charming" that you know nothing of. Give it time.

DID IT WORK?!

The answer is yes! I got myself a lovely A on the midterm and I know this because I helped the Doctor grade some of them right after, mine being the first. Only missed three and it was mainly because of ONE. Domino effect. I remembered Preston making a big deal that cowardly had to be in the definition of truckle, and it wasn't, so I figured that was the one that needed a written definition. That caused me to get obsequious wrong which caused me to get sycophant wrong. Either way I'm happy with my minus three.

Study Method for Midterm

The Doctor is going to be upset but my method is studying the night before for a little while. It's what I always do. I read over the words and definitions until I have them perfectly memorized. Then I take the quiz, or in this case the midterm, and Ace it. Simple as that. Whether or not the words will stick, I don't know.
