What is your favorite day of the week?

My favorite day of the week is Friday. I could never abhor Fridays. They are always filled with hope and happiness. Once you exit those classroom doors when that bell rings at 2:51, a feeling of relief comes to your mind. After I get home from school, I greet my agnate and little sister, Abigail. We have a chat about the day, and get along because we are both in such great moods. Then, I go and hang out with my friends until an unreasonably late hour. We have so much fun, whether it's going shopping or to the movies, or even just talking. Depending on my schedule on the upcoming Saturday, we determine if we should have a slumber party or not. When we don't I go home and usually watch my backed up DVR. This usually consists of Big Bang Theory, and this new show Grimm, which I have recently gotten into. For anyone that likes cop shows and a creepy twist on fairytales, this is the show for you. After I watch television, I normally go upstairs into my room and read until I pass out, which is normally around 1:30 a.m. But it's a Friday and I can sleep in the next night so I don't care how late I stay up. In summation, Fridays are just awesome and I'm always looking forward to them.

My hardest midterm will be.... because.....

My hardest midterm will be Research in Molecular Genetics because it is so incredibly hard. For this midterm we have to present a presentation about a Walksman project that we had completed so far throughout the year. To complete this objective, we were given an outline sheet with an abundance of challenging questions. Our class does not have the best rapport with the teacher so our presentations will probably be graded somewhat harshly. These powerpoints can't be amorphous and must always have a point and a supporting statement to back up each idea that is presented. The worse part of this assignment is that most of the information has to be memorized, and each student will be penalized if they are constantly looking at their presentation or index cards for help. Oral presentations are worse than writing any essay in class. I pray that I will do well on all of my midterms and will probably spend the next couple off weeks locking in my room with my head in my books. I absolutely despise midterms and I wish that my high school did not administer them.

Describe your favorite movie

My favorite movie is National Treasure. This movie palliated Nick Cage's bad acting career, but didn't erase it from the minds of all viewers. I love the plot for this movie. It is so unique and interesting. The story is about a "treasure map" on the back of the Declaration of Independence. Ben Gates (Cage), and his friends, Riley, and Abigail Chase accompany him on his journey to stop the nefarious Ian from stealing the Declaration and the treasure. The trio ends up on a series of events all over the country and makes many historical allusions. Even though the movie is a fallacy, the allusions are true, and they have helped me remember many historical facts in my history class. I believe National Treasure is a fun and exciting adventure that people of all ages can experience and enjoy.

Romantic Literature

One element of romantic literature that is seen in Wuthering Heights is love of the common man. This is demonstrated in the story with Catherine's love for Heathcliff. Heathcliff was an ordinary person who did not come from any money and was often mistreated and treated like a servant at the Heights. Catherine's love for him shows that she does not love a person of her high social standard, but an average person, making it a forbidden love. Even late in the book when Heathcliff comes back as a wealthy man, he is still looked upon as beneath Catherine. This is a theme that is very often seen in romantic literature.

Another element of romantic literature  in the novel is the strange, far-away places. Heathcliff's long disappearance separated Catherine and Heathcliff physically, but it did not separate their love. Catherine who is now living at the Grange thinks of it as a strange new place and longs to be back at the Heights and with Heathcliff. Also the fact that the Grange and the Heights are an hour apart is another reason that makes the love between Catherine and Heathcliff forbidden. Far off and strange places like the Grange and the unknown place of Heathcliff's disappearance is often seen in romantic literature, keeping star-crossed lovers apart.

Tell me about your holiday break!

I would never want to efface the amazing time I had on my holiday break. My family is so important to me and I like spending time with them as crazy as they are. Although they always harangue me about silly topics my family is always looking out for me and supports me no matter what. The only thing I regret about break is that I rarely got to spend free time with my friends. My break consisted of a lot of food, sleeping, and a whole lot of movies. My favorite part of break was going to a restaurant in the city with my family for my mom's birthday. There was so much food and it was honestly some of the best food I've ever tasted in my life. The movies I watched consisted of Dirty Dancing, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, Due Date, The Hangover, and Sherlock Holmes 2. The two best ones in my opinion would probably be Harry Potter and Sherlock Holmes, for I have recently become a huge action movie plan. Anyway this break was also productive for me to get my schoolwork done and finish some essays and projects that needed to be done. This break was greatly desired by me and I really needed it.
