Love

           Love is amazing. I stumbled upon Romeo by chance but now I know it's meant to be. He's my soul mate. I’m so deeply in love with him. I couldn't live without him. If I didn't have Romeo I would rather be dead. I can't wait to marry him. Who cares that he's a Montague? His name means nothing to me. I am destined to be with him and nothing it going to change that. I’m going to spend the rest of my life with him. I don't know what I would do without my dearest Romeo. My family wants me to love Paris but I just cannot, now that I have experienced true love it’s impossible to go back. At this point I don’t care what my family says, I am willing to get rid of my last name and become one with Romeo, and I would not have a problem leaving everything just to be able to be happy with Romeo. I know it’s not just a phase or a hormonal thing because I am a teenager and I am going through hormones always so I would have felt something for Paris, but I didn't there was no connection no spark, unlike with Romeo with Romeo I feel like I’m on cloud 9 I’m ecstatic, I feel better, happier and I know in my heart I’m destined to be with him. I’m showing my love by risking it all, going against my families wishes, and marrying a banished man. If that's not love I don't know what is. I believe in love and marriage is the same thing, if one does not love someone there is no point in getting married to them. This became clear when I told Romeo to leave me alone and never come back if he did not love me, if he did not have good intentions. For example I do not approve of my parents marriage, it has become clear to me that my mother only married my father as a business` arrangement. I want my marriage to be inspired by love. That is why I don’t feel a "love" for them yes, I care about them but I do not love them, I love the nurse. She has been there for me all my life. She is a mother to me in every way expect biologically.

Midterm report card

       

            For my midterm I have decided to separate everything into the four categories and then give myself a mark out of 25. And do that for each of the four then at the end add up everything and that is how I am going to calculate my mark. 

The first out of the four categories is attendance. I can proudly say I have never skipped this class or have any intentions to because I actually really like it. I have been away 3 times I believe but they were for legitimate reasons, 2 of them I was sick and the other I had to go to the airport to pick up family members. each time I always made up the work I had missed and did it right away. I think this next one is one I have trouble admitting but its true I might get off task every once in a while. I control it really well because out of the ten times I might want to text my friend back or go on twitter I only do it about twice. 8 out of 10 times I control it and focus right away. I don't think it's a huge problem because I always get my work done at the end. when it comes to behavior I know I don't have a problem because I'm not disrespectful and I like all my teachers and classmates! when it comes to small tasks like reading in class or so on, I think I'm doing good because I'm not shy so that lets me participate and really contribute to the class. overall I give myself a 22/25 .

Section B: as of right now I'm not missing any assignments, I have completed everything. I did though hand in two of them late. the first was the Myers Briggs personality  test because I was having some technology issues but I fixed that and it's been posted! and the second was my chorus translation because I honestly forgot to finish it I'm not going to lie, I remember starting it in class but I forgot about it.  since I have handed everything in and they all have been of good quality I will give myself a 21/25. 

Section C: As I just mentioned before I am really proud and happy with my work so far. I do think it s my best and in every blog post, every comment , every sentence added to the discussion has been my best work. I'm not a slacker and I'm proud of that. I think that my work compared to most of my peers work is a bit longer in terms of length and detail. I like to get my message across and I won't stop just because I'm worried about it being too long. I don't want to say it's better than all my classmates because that not true, there is always someone smarter than me but I will say I do think its somewhere near the top of the class for sure. Here is a picture to show just an example of an assignment that I think i did in more detail than some of my classmates.

I think I could improve by paying more attention to things like capitalizing and grammar and staying on task 100% of time. I am really happy and proud with the way things are going so far! I give myself a 23/25. 

Section D: I think I contribute to the class quite a lot, I am always commenting, raising my hand bringing in new ideas, trying to make my peers usually my table mates come to new conclusions. for example in the big class discussions on Edmodo. I always try to comment as much as  possible and I try to share my opinion to maybe see if we can all figure it out? I really do try my best in those discussions and I know my peers do as well. I actually enjoy them to be honest it is kind of fun to see how we can all figure out something by sharing our ideas! I do think I really do deserve a 25/25 on this because I know I have helped other people realize new things in those discussions and even in my table I like to share my ideas with Avery and Jasmine and together we using come to the same result. we do it together and try to fix and problems we might have together so together we help each other! 

So i think my overall mark should be 22 ( form section A ) + 21 (from section B ) + 23 ( from section C) + 25 ( from section D ) that totals to be 91% . I believe that is accurate and fair for the quality if work I'm doing, my behaviour in class, participation etc. I think i have earned that A. I hope you agree with me. 

Romeo & Juliet Chorus

   I believe Shakespeare uses chorus in his plays as an introduction and well if at the time the people that saw his plays were rather poor and uneducated they might have gotten confused so the chorus explained a bit of the story to the people and gave then insight on what the story is going to be about and what to expect. I think translating the chorus helped me understand the setting and the pain events kind of like an over view of the play. It is one of those '' when you have to teach i, it helps you understand it better '' type of things so here we go!  ( the indented is the original line from Shakespeare and the bold is my translation. )  

Two households, both alike in dignity

Two families, both equal in power, wealth and strength. 

(In fair Verona, where we lay our scene),

In beautiful Verona, where the scene takes place. 

From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,

From an ancient rivalry comes more hate 

Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.

And citizens end up with the blood of other on theirs 

From forth the fatal loins of these two foes

A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life,

Whose misadventured piteous overthrows

Doth with their death bury their parents' strife.

A child from each of the families will fall in love with each other, and even though it is not allowed and looked down upon by everyone they still do it anyways but it ends badly, resulting in death, and to the grave they will take their families hatred for one an other.

The fearful passage of their death-marked love

And the continuance of their parents' rage, 

Which, but their children’s end, naught could remove,

Their death was full of fear, but even though they were scared they did not let go of their rage towards each other. and they could only let go of it when their children died. 

Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage—

you will watch all this happen in 2 hours ( on stage or wherever you are watching it) 

The which, if you with patient ears attend,

What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.

if you pay attention and listen carefully you will understand everything we did not explain here. 

ESTP

 " ESTPs are action-loving, "here and now" realists with excellent people skills. Informal, risk-taking, fast-paced and adaptable, they are not always in agreeance with rules and regulations. They are tactical problem solvers that desire quick results. ESTPs, who present a friendly and enthusiastic face, are straight shooters that are able to handle criticism." 

That was the definition the website gave of ESTP's. I took the test starting off rather unbiast. In the past I hadn't thought these to work, but seeing as how it has worked for some of my peers I decided to put my opinion from the past away and start this with a blank open mind. 

As I was taking the test, I noticed something, it was not going to come out a 100% accurate because well some of the answers were maybes, or depends on the situation, because it does! I think some of the questions were not yes or no answers they should have been more elaborate. At the end of the day  I don't treat every problem the same, there are certain problems that I do think with my "heart" with rather than thinking with my head, but in others vice versa. for example I had a question that said I base decisions based on feelings or facts? I don't know! IT REALLY DOES DEPEND ON THE SITUATION! So I did not like that part of the test, I understand that for logical reasons they can't make the test personal because they don't know you, but maybe add scenarios? I think that way its clearer how to answer and to understand really what you do or would do. so do I overall think the test is accurate no not at all, but it does have some down to the facts information.

I agree with the career choices because what I want to do is actually an option. I want  to become a cbsa agent ( Canadian border security association ) and agent was on there so I'm going to assume it has something to do with that or it's a similar line of work.  some of the other related jobs were the following:

·         Auditor

·         Computer Technician

·         Comedian

·         Detective

·         Entrepreneur

·         Firefighter

·         Military

·         Marketer

·         Network Specialist

·         Project Manager

·         Paramedic/EMT

·         Police

·         Sales Representative 

The one part I did not really understand was the similar characters and people one. I didn't see myself similar to some of the names that were written down.  some of the real humans were Eddie Murphy , Bruce Willis , Donald trump and Madonna. I don't think I have a similar personality to any of these really. maybe I do, I just can't see it? and for the fictional ones it was Bart Simpson, krusty the klown and James bond. other than maybe the funny of Bart Simpson, the out going-ness of Madonna and the " I don't care" of Donald trump I don't see myself at all similar to these people/characters. 

As for the percents I got 58%  extraverted (E) and 42%  introverted (I) which means I am social have lots of friends but enjoy my time alone so I think it's the perfect  combination  60%  social and 40% alone. for the second one I got  63% sensing (S) and 37% intuition (I).  Which means I am very in the moment, realistic, knows what needs to get done, and is practical. I honestly think that way its more afferent. thirdly I got 68% thinking (T) and 32%  feeling (F).  This is my stricter side, because the thinking category is more for stricter people, someone who is thick skinned, rational. rather than easily hurt, gentle and driven by emotion. I prefer it that way to be honest, I'm not going to let feelings get in my way. finally I got also 68% perceiving (P) and 32% judging ( J). This means I am adaptable, can take it easy, a little messy and not totally a perfectionist. I totally agree with this in this aspect I'm very relaxed and adaptable I'm good with change!
