Tiffany 1.5 Insanity 1

Update (March 7, 2005): This entry has been updated due to a previous lack of knowledge on my part

And so we come to the point where the semester splits in two. I am slowly pulling ahead on the insanity that is going on in my life right now and that is mostly due to the fact that spring break is just around the corner.

It seems that this first month flew by. I have learned that one's Outward Appearance has nothing to do with who they are as a person and that a woman's peers can be her best defense. I have found that people just need to take a break from machines or anything mechanical every now and again or they will go crazy and kill someone. I know that that though people consider themselves to be great they really actually aren't all that special after all. I have learned that kids like to live up to those that came before them and that love is not always expressed. I have also found that poetry is interpreted differently from one person to another.

It has been a very productive HALF a semester.

Some entries that I had fun doing were the entries that involved outside research. For some help understanding Henry Adams and his passage on the Great Exhibition, I googled his name and found some wonderful sites. This was important because it helped us to understand some of the mechanical things that were being discussed in previous things. Also, in order to understand where F. Scott Fitzgerald was coming from for Bernice Bobs Her Hair I included a link to one of his biographies.

Another enjoyable part to the class (and a part that I have always enjoyed) was the way I was able to interact with my classmates. I have linked to new friends, and old friends alike.

I can also honestly say that I love it when people comment. I have found out about movies through the comments left for me and even about different kinds of ink. (This one even got things started for an interesting discussion in class!) And, as I stated before, there are always two different views on one poem.

At the same time I understand that people enjoy getting comments as much as I do. I enjoy sparking discussions such as the one on John's blog. I have also shared my feelings about a certain young woman on Scott's blog, and have even shared my knowledge of mythology with Sue. Finally, I had an idea for a blog entry by visiting Moira's blog.

And last but certainly not least, it was through this blog that I was able to express how I felt after a very moving presentation.

It is here that I close on one of the busiest half semester of my life. Hopefully I will be a bit more focused in the next half of the semester.
