Mental Breakdown...Venting

The title explains it all.  Too bad this happens everyday.  I hate this class and that is the honest truth.  I never have any idea what is due, what it's due and how to even do it.  Looking at past papers, trying to fix them up, drives me crazy.  Of course I didn't answer every question.  10 minutes is not a sufficient amount of time to answer 5 questions fully and now I cannot even remember the questions.  I haven't even written half my blogs because I find the questions completely unanswerable or just plain frustrating.  You would think that Thanksgiving break would be a peaceful time, but not when you realize that there are two weeks left of class and you have every single paper to finish that you didn't even get back.  Maybe, it's the fact that I have a Twitter project, but I refuse to make a Twitter.  I find it a complete waste of time to keep me distracted from the rest of my work.  Apparently a paper was due.  I have no idea what that's about.  I don't have time to finish everything in two weeks.  At the rate i'm going I would need two months.  I need an A and it's not going to happen.  Its worth more to keep my health and sanity by failing then to work for the next 336 hours straight that will put me in a mental institution.  To be completely honest, a response to this will stress me out even more.  This is not to be read, but to be said.  Now that it is said, nothing has changed.  I'd still rather be dead than write these papers, blogs, and rewrite all of what I already did.  fdjkhfisoghuaifnjdksfjsfasiofhnauighaoghojdhjioasfhashgufdghdughoasngjoancvjdhnjaskdjfhwieuoagadhngjoas

Billy Collins

Billy Collins feels two ways about the places he writes about.  In the first stanza of Advice to Writers he says, "Even if it keeps you up all night...".  He is saying that your study is a place that you can either get work done very quickly or you can spend countless hours on one page.  He states that you have to keep your study clean because cleaning will make you think and clear your mind of all other thoughts.  On every page of his poems he tells us how he feels about certain places.  He puts the good with the bad.

Baby on iPad

It makes me upset that this child will grow up with no interest in magazines and she will only live off of technology.  This is so relevant to the topics we discussed in class.  Technology builds upon each other until the original is in a sense eliminated.  The parent of this child grew up with magazines being a large part of society.  That is where they would get the news, information, or entertainment.  Their child is growing up with the iPad.  She sees the magazine as useless.  It proves the point that technology is becoming the new norm and print text is going out the window.

The rhetorical move the person who made the video uses is showing short phrases that summarize the video that follows.  The writer makes you read; then, visualize what he or she has just written.

My Project Three

I keep thinking about my project three and I'm pretty sure my next rhetorical move will be to use more metaphors and similes.  I need to engage my reader and capture their attention.  I also need to make them remember what I'm saying and metaphors will definitely help to achieve that goal.
