Weekly Review: Surviving with Homework This Week

Weekly Review
Where do I even begin? This week and the past couple of weeks have been so tough. I am currently taking five classes, including this one, and it is only getting more overwhelming for me. I have so much homework due every single day and it is quite hard to complete everything on time when I work almost full time. I barely have time to do anything at the moment and it's very frustrating. I've been falling a little behind in some of my classes because I forget things are due or I just simply don't have the time to do them. Especially since this is my last semester at LMC, since I'm transferring next semester, I have to pass all of my classes. I cannot fall behind and I refuse to fall behind. I'm just going to have to try and set my time strategies in because things are not really working out in my favor right now. 
My plans for next week and my other classes is to get my work done on the days I have off from work. I either get one or two days out of the week off from work so I'm just going to have to dedicate a lot of my time on homework on those days. It's hard sometimes because I'm just always tired and there seems to always be something getting in the way when I need to get something done. I guess that's pretty much how life works so I can't really complain. I just need to figure out a way to get my stuff together. Although, I am proud I got most of my assignments done for this week in this class. I mean I did miss a reading for Part B but that is why I am doing the extra credit work to make up for it. For the people who read this post, I apologize for complaining and ranting a bit, but it felt necessary to get it off my chest.

    Hey Alissa,
    Keep working through the struggle and don't give up! Last semester, I took 5 classes as well and it was rough and I also working almost full time. It definitely takes a lot of discipline and sacrifice but think of the reward in the end. If you can, try and bring some hw with you to work. I used to bring one of my books with me to work and just spend my lunch reading a little bit. Even though I only had 30min, it was enough to get through a decent amount of reading that allowed me more time in the evening for other work. Or even if its just doing the weekend homework during lunch. Just some suggestions! You will be fine and it will be over before you know it! Keep working hard.

    Hi Alissa, wow five classes and working at the same time is a tremendous workload, but I am completely astonished that you are able to commit to both. You are doing a fantastic job and it must take so much determination to do what you are doing this semester. Funny enough I am also taking 5 classes this semester and I am transferring too, I know the struggle on the classes. Just keep going and I know you will do great, it may seem hard right now believe me but it will pay off. I think that just organizing yourself better like you said will reduce the stress and make it easier to deal with the amount of work that is assigned every week. I wish you good luck this semester and everything will be ok.

Week 2 Analysis: Philosophical Satire Literary Analysis

1. Literary Elements - Sor Juana Ines De La Cruz's poem, "Philosophical Satire," sets a strong tone in her writing and her tone will be the literary device I will discuss for this analysis. Sor Juana's tone had such a liberated and inspiring tonality that it almost seemed like she was trying to get her point across and make women feel outraged with the way men inferior women. In my understanding, it is as if Sor Juana wanted to make it alarming that the role assigned to women are difficult and showed her own perspective and view on society. She questions and exclaims the foolishness that goes on and I, for one, truly appreciate this poem and the tone she set because she wants to let women know that it is not okay to be inferior upon men and that something should be done about it.  2. Themes -   The theme in "Philosophical Satire" is symbolized by women needing to be better and stronger and not to be knocked down by a man's judgment call. The underlyin...

Week 14 Analysis: Lispector

Close Reading on Clarice Lispector's, "The Daydreams of a Drunk Woman" (808-814) The thing that intrigues me about this reading is the use of simile's and imagery. Lispector creates these vivid images in your head when speaking because she describes the situation so clear. For example, when the husband and the kids leave the woman home alone, she says, ""Oh what a succulent room! Here she was, fanning herself in Brazil. The sun, trapped in the blinds, shimmered on the wall like the strings of a guitar" (810). I like this quote because at least for me, I can perfectly image this scenery in my head and it give me a snip of what this story is like in reality. This story, "The Daydreams of a Drunk Woman," reveals deeper possibilities in this woman. She is unhappy and full of rage. The reasons for her misery all reflect on the choices that she has made while seeking security and protection and the social conditions that foster such poor circumstan...
