Pride and Mrs. Dalloway

This novel really spoke to me in a unique way. It seemed to be a picture of how pride can totally control and shape a persons life in so many ways. It shows the internal struggle that most of us have to address each day, and how much people are willing to sacrifice for the ones they love, even their life as Septimus did.

Got to keep Going!

We only have a few weeks left of class left, but I am having a really hard time concentrating on school. I guess that with the beautiful weather outside, and the wedding date getting closer, I'm a little frazzled. I have really enjoyed the works that we have read this semester and I have been inspired to do more independent reading myself.

Blog for this past week

I wanted to sort of ramble about the Joyce's short story "The Dead." I really liked how this story encompassed a lot of different plots all wonderfully woven together. I just honestly liked to read it. I'm not sure if that was because of the humorous and very dominate women of the piece, or the romantic storyline of the sickly lover, or the epiphany that Gabriel has at the end of the tale. I think it was all of this and more. I will try and read more of Joyce.

This is weird

I tried three times Sunday night to post a blog, and for the life of me could not get signed on to my account.

The past week (when I didn't post a blog), a was working really hard on our group website. I'm a perfectionist, so of course I was very frustrated when the thing didn't come out looking super amazing. It's serviceble enough, and since this is my first time building a site, I decided not to take it to hard.

Next time I build a site, I would like to have more time to learn and fool around with html formatting rather that using a webwizard like geocities thta only has a limited amount of choices.
