#ResearchPaper

When this paper was assigned I thought it might be a little difficult at first but that once I got into it a little more it would get easier... Yeah no. I was wrong. I am having such a hard time!  I have the research I need and its all really good information and I can prove my point really well using it, I'm just having a really hard time putting it all together to make a paper that flows well and isn't too much just stating information from the research and isn't too much summary of the movie. GAHH! I can't seem to find the happy medium! I'm getting so frustrated! I have completely started over on my paper three times since Friday. And now I'm freaking out because I'm staring at a blank word document realizing that I have to have a good rough draft done by Wednesday...

#ThesisStatement

I'm writing my paper about the movie Easy A. I'm going to look at why Olive feels like she needs to spread the rumor about her being sexually promiscuous to break out of her shell and become more well known and popular because: 1. Society promotes it 2. She wants to fulfill stereotypes of the "popular" girls being slutty.

My thesis is:
When a rumor about Olive Penderghast spreads around her high school she lets it become known as true to create a new, more vulgar image of herself and break out of her shell because of the pressures from society and wanting to live out stereotypes.

#Weekend

So this weekend I am going home to see my family and support my high school band at their competition. I am so excited to see them! I miss them more then I ever thought I would and I can not wait to see them! The thing about high school marching bands is that they become the most close knit and dysfunctional family, and they're all so close. Thats the thing I miss the most, I thought coming to college that college band would be similar to that, but its not. Not at all. And it stinks. I get text messages and phone calls from girls in my section back at home telling me how much its not the same about my friends and I in the band and how they miss us so much, it makes me so sad! So, I'm super excited to see them on Saturday! And then also to celebrate my youngest cousins birthday too! It's going to be a great weekend!

#Homecoming

So this weekend was homecoming! obvi... It was fun and all but it really made me miss homecoming at my high school. I feel like in high school its so much more interactive and everyone participates more I loved all the spirit days, and all the excitement or sometimes drama to do with the dance and dates and dresses and plans and all of that! I loved everything about it! But in college I feel like its completely different, it just seemed like any other weekend except they crowned king and queen during halftime at the football game. I'm not quite sure how to explain it, but I guess I just miss high school homecomings and I wish I would have realized how fun and special they were while I was still there.

#Carrie

Wow. I'm just saying that movie was SOOOO messed up! And I definitely wouldn't put it in the horror movie category. I am the biggest wimp ever when it comes to scary movies, and that didn't scare me at all. That was just plain creepy! I couldn't ever really decide if I felt bad for Carrie or if I thought she was so creepy that she did it to herself. Also, I couldn't figure out if Tommy was being sincere in how he was treating Carrie or if he was going along with the mean kids. I'm glad that he was being sincere though, I thought he was super sweet and nice! It takes a big person to go against what's cool and be nice to the weird kid, especially to go as to far to take her to the prom and not be afraid to actually start to fall for her. I did really like that part of movie. Carries mom was off the wall nuts! She freaked me out, especially at the end. I couldn't help but think that she needed some serious psychiatric help.

#ShoppingAdict

So I have a slight problem. I think I might be addicted to shopping. I go online to my favorite stores "just to look" and then I end up with like five things that "are absolutely necessary for my wardrobe" and drop like one hundred bucks before I know it.... one hundred dollars that I shouldn't be spending. Right now I'm in a complete dilemma because there are two dresses that I am absolutely in love with and I really really really really want to buy! But the only problem is that one of them is a more summer like dress and to wear a jacket with it would cover up the coolest part of the dress so that would be pointless.... and then the other one is 100% sequins so its a little to formal for day to day wear, but it would be KILLER with a black leather jacket and black pumps. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!! I WANT THEM BOTH!!!!!!!!!! AHHHH!!!!!!!
