Nervous Conditions

Tensions are heating up in Nervous Conditions!  My last post about the book was that i didn't like it but things are starting to get better.  I thought that Chapter 6 was really good and it actually made me interested in the book!  It was intense and kept me reading, and the time went by really fast.

Chapter 7 was pretty good too, but not as good as 6.  In chapter seven Lucia, Tambus aunt, comes in the picture.  She causes some drama with the family. especially Tambus dad.  So Nervous Conditions is getting a lot better and the plot is good! I hope it stays like this through out the book.

throw me somethin'

              I had a really fun Mardi Gras break!! I didn't get to go to as many parades as i would of liked to but it was still really fin the ones that i did go too.  I went with my good friend Liz.  We drove down to nola, and of course we were late because neither of us are ever on time.  So parking was ridiculously hard and we were in the back of the crowds, so i wiggled our way to the front.  One of the parades we went too was really fun and we caught a lot of beads!  But the other one wasn't as fun and there weren't as many people.
              After the parades we decided to walk around the French Quarter and ate at Hard Rock Cafe.  That restaurant is really good and we both love it!  After lunch we decided to meet up with some other people and partied on Bourbon Street!! There were a ton of people there, but it was really fun and I'm glad that i went!

NC = Bad

For this week i did my reading of Nervous Conditions and i wrote my research paper.  So far i think that my research paper is really good and i am proud of my work!  I think that it is coming along really well and i thought it was gonna be harder to write than it actually was.  When i read other peoples paper is showed me where mine stood in comparison to others and i think that its pretty good, and i thought that other peoples was interesting too.

So far i don't really like Nervous Conditions that much.  Its kind of confusing with all the strange words and i keep getting the characters mixed up.  I am not sure whats going on in the book at all and i am reading slowly and paying attention and i still don't understand it.  I had to reread chapter 3 because i didn't get it and that took me about 3 hours to read and annotate that and then reread it.  The book is not that good to me and i am just hoping that it gets better.

Valentines Day!

So this week is Valentines Day and I'm really excited!  No i don't have a "valentine" though.. i have 3! hahah! Me and some of my friends decided we were going to be each others valentine so i have to bake a lot of stuff tomorrow night for them!  Thank god for pintrest, pintrest gave me great ideas for what to bake and today in the mall i got a really cute present!  

Valentines Day has always been one of my favorite holidays and I'm glad that people go crazy on it!  I love walking into a Walgreens or CVS and seeing those huge bears and chocolates everywhere! I think its a cute holiday and its an excuse to eat some candy! I hope everybody has a great valentines day!

This week i have spent all my time reading nervous conditions/annotating, and writing my research paper.  Just a few minutes ago i turned in my paper on turnitin.com and I'm am extremely proud of my work!  I have never heard of the Strait of Hormuz before and now i am so glad what i have learned about it and wrote about.  Its a big world issue right now and I'm glad i got to learn about it.

So far i have read chapter 1 in nervous conditions and I'm not to sure about that i think of the book.  I am a little confused about some things that are happening but i am really glad that you gave us that sheet with what the words mean because it helps a lot.  I think the book is starting off a little slow but I'm hoping it will get better!

Fish-Tail

Every morning when I wake up I think to myself what am I gonna do with my hair today? Most of the time i just brush it and leave it down but over the past 2/3 weeks I've been really obsessed with braids.  Pintrest has given me so many new ideas on how to braid my hair and i love it!  The one i like most is the fish-tail braid. Almost on a daily basis when i get to school i will ask someone to fish tail my hair and they do it! I just think that its so pretty and looks cool! 

The new braid that I've been really wanting to try is the water fall braid.  Its where it goes across your head and it just looks really cool!  I have been trying to teach my self how to braid my hair in the different ways bit its not working so well! The waterfall braid looks like this
