A lot of things are happening right now in my life and the lives of those around me. I am about to graduate with the PC class of 2010, but those who are close to me are struggling and it hurts to see them like that. My fiances grandmother is not doing very well, and I pray that God will work in the lives of the family and let his will be done in the situation. I am scared bc there is nothing I can say to make the family feel like everything will be ok. I feel like I should be the comforter, but I am at a loss for words. I also pray that God will give the words to say or the actions I need to do. Keep the Raney family in your prayers.

My favorite character has been Mama out of Raisin in the Sun. She reminds me a lot of my grandma. My grandma is who keeps our family united. She is always there when you need her and she knows best. Just like in this play Mama is the person the family leans on, she is their lean post. Mama was also very loving and forgiving and I love that about a person. She was constantly concerned with what was going on with her family and I think that every family needs a person like that, someone who really cares about them and has their best interest in mind. The picture to the right shows where Mama was worried about Walter and the choices he was making.

We have read a few plays in Dramatic Literature and my favorite is "The Importance of Being Ernest". This play was funny and wasn't really sad at all. I also liked how it was easier to act out this play and fun to act out at the same time. I liked how Emma and I got to play parts together and act like true friends. I also liked the comedy that made fun of things we would not expect to be made fun of. It was just an all in all fun play to read and act out. This Picture shows Gwendolen, played by Emma, and Cecily played by the one and only me.

Prom was a lot of fun. I missed my man a lot and wished he could be there, but I still had a lot of fun going with the person I went with. We, as in me and 3 other friends, didn't get to our houses till about 6-6:30ish. We were really tired on Sunday. I slept for 2 1/2 hours, then went to church, then went to work. I was really worn out. I felt sorry for my customers at work, they probably thought I was terrible at my job, but o well it happens. Anyways just wanted to say Prom was a lot of fun. Tata for now.

So Prom is in like 3 days and I am so excited. I love getting all prettied up and looking pretty. Plus prom is just fun, you stay out til all hours in the morning and you just get to hang out with friends and spoil yourself a little. I can't wait til saturday.

Today I changed my background again, because it reminded me of spring, and my favorite color is blue, and butterflies are fun and springy little things. It also makes me really excited that spring is here, because not only is it my favorite season, but it also means summer is coming and I am graduating soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Inability to Make Meaningful Human Connections

I chose a picture of the door because Beatrice shuts out the outside world on a lot of things. She also does this literally by covering the windows of the house with newspaper so no one can see in. She shuts out the world through fear of being made fun of again. She even tries to keep her daughters from having any contact with the outside by keeping them home from school. She doesn't like them to go places. Nanny is also unable to have good human connections because she can't hear or see very well anymore, so she just walks around or sits all of the time and she never talks.
