Today in class, we finally turned in our Scarlet Letter Essays. It was a relief to finally be finished and to be able to rid my mind of the stress. We are moving on to thinking about and reviewing our semester's work for the midterm. It is interesting to see what we have done this year and how it has actually all connected. For example, all of the ideas that we worked on at the beginning of the year, such as transcendentalism and realism, connected to the reading of the Scarlet Letter. Without the knowledge it would have made reading the Scarlet Letter much more difficult and we would not have been able to understand it as deeply.
As we were reading over the midterm review today in class, I realized that the thing I was most nervous about is the ominous essay that seems to hold a million possibilities. We have a vague idea about what the essay will be, but I am still very anxious. We seem to have learned so much this year and it could be about any of them.
Other than that I the midterm is going to be very challenging and I am going to have to start studying immediately!
Therefore, my word of the day is diligent. Diligent means hard working and staying on task, both of which I am trying to do this coming weekend and week!
