I'm finally settling into a rhythm with my new chaotic schedule. It's funny what crazy shenanigans I get myself into in order to make it all balance. Sometimes it means doing homework at work, work at home, blog designing in class, exercising in the wee hours of the morning when I should be sleeping, sleeping when I should be blog designing, etc. It may sound like I'm asking for trouble. But hey, whatever works, right?
In my last post, I gave you all the rundown of my school schedule. Political Science, Chemistry, and Math are tough classes with way too much homework, but my English 102 class has been a Godsend. Like seriously, if every class were like my English class, I'd stay in school forever! To give you an idea, there will only be 4 assignments the entire semester. I'm on #3.
The first was to write a 500 word essay introducing myself to my professor and peers.
The Second was a "Sensory Monologue Essay," by word-vomiting everything I think, see, hear, touch, smell, and taste for 30 minutes. It didn't even have to be a formal essay! We could write a string of words, sentence fragments, etc. Our professor said he wanted the essay to be "raw," and the purpose of the exercise was to get our writing to be more descriptive in the future. It was really fun!
The third is due next Saturday. My assignment is to read an 11 page article entitled "Escape From Wonderland" Disney and the Female Imagination," the write a 1,000 word essay summarizing my perception of the movie's message and how it has impacted my life.
1. What is your favorite Disney movie, and why?
2. What do you feel the movie's message is?
3. Has this movie impacted your life in any way?
2. What do you feel the movie's message is?
3. Has this movie impacted your life in any way?
I'm so interested to hear what you guys have to say! I'm a die-hard Disney fan. To give you an idea, I once wrote a speech on Disney movies, the stories they are based upon, and their impact on society. It was about 10 minutes, memorized, with visual aides. I performed competitively with the speech, and came very close to competing on a national level!

Hm...my favorite Disney movie is probably Beauty and the Beast. Agh, why? Maybe because it proves how love can blossom in the oddest of places...
I think the movie's message is that appearence doesn't matter? It's what's inside that counts.
Well...not really. I mean, it's a DISNEY movie, for Pete's sake. ^^
But I guess I could say that it helped me look at what people are like inside rather than outside.
Love,
Bekah
Of the Disney movies (not Pixar) my favorite is Beauty and the Beast. I love it because of all the princesses, Belle had to work to earn that title rather than just being born into royalty or having it thrust upon her. I love that it gives the message that hard work really does pay off in the end. (And who doesn't love talking tea cups and candlesticks?!)
Okay seriously that is the coolest class EVER. EVER.
I too love beauty and the beast. It's just my life....hee hee.
My other fave was Aladdin. It is about doing what's RIGHT even if you get everything you've ever wanted. (i.e. he let the genie be free in the end even if he couldn't have the love of his life.) I think that's important - to have integrity even if it means the worst for YOU personally, you know?
Oh and anything PIXAR is totally awesome.
Hate to leave you no variety here...but Beauty and the Beast was my fav. too! Lot's of other "good" ones, but they just didn't measure up in my book. There was such a life lesson about true inner beauty, (when the prince turned away the witch and caused the curse over his kingdom) and how he became a gentle giant at the love of a person who could see through his beastly appearance.
