What is due when?
On our board (at Kelly Road) we have due dates, except next to some, there are question marks, and some are crossed out, with other things written......anyway, it's gotten very confusing, and I am not sure when things are due. Mr. Carson, if you could maybe post due dates for things, that would be super wonderful. (I am very good with adjectives) Or if anyone else knows the actual date that things are due...just post?
Thank you very much!
Have a good weekend everyone!

Bless your dear heart Sarra...with what I don't know. Anyway thank you, I am very curious as to what is due when becuase like always no one's ever quite sure, and also since I've regrettably missed quite a few days and will miss some more with this *%@!* pneumonia I have no idea what is due when. And I am slowly giving up caring, hopeing I can catch up.
Also Sarra, how did you post?
I too am confused by when things are due (I am also confused by big words and small, shiny objects, so make of that what you will) clearly a rigid due date for any assignment is not possible for most Literature 12 students (this year or any other): some students will labour over a single assignment, refining and crafting for days until a piece that should have taken half an hour has consumed several days and nights; other students complete assignments that should have taken days and nights in just moments (usually by mashing their keyboards several times, printing out the resulting mess, and saying, "there!").
Anyway, that's not the succinct, parsimonious (adjectives for Sarra) answer you were after, so how about this: I would much rather have a good assignment from you handed in late than a mediocre (or worse) assignment handed in early. Take your time, and do a good job.
The calendar I gave you shows the due dates for the Milton assignments (radio plays, compositions, and "Dear John" letters). I have received most of the "Dear John" letters. I would appreciate getting all of the "Satan's a Tragic Hero (and a damn fun guy)" compositions in this week, and the comic strip or radio play versions of Paradise Lost by the end of next week at the latest.
If you have a problem getting an assignment in, or you need more time, or whatever, email me and I will give you more time (not in any metaphysical sense--just more time to get your assignment handed in).
As we discussed, I am going to leave the remaining journals open to your discretion. I expect you to submit 5 more journals (from Milton to the end of the course), but you are free to choose what works you write about.
I don't know if this is at all helpful to you--likely not--but I'll be back on Wednesday, and we can go over things in more detail then.
Ayla--don't worry about getting caught up. As long as you keep up with the readings--which I know you have been doing--everything will be fine.
As for posting, I apparently need to send (another) invitation to everyone's email address. I will do so as soon as I can.
Good luck on the test, and see you all soon.

good news, I should be getting net soon. Bad news -_- Mr.carson, if the emily bronte presentation is due today could I pretty please extend it to tomorrow? I had it done, just, it got lost in my move and isnt in my clipboard, so I'll find it and bring it. I would redo it for my spare but it was two or three days of work and my partner seems to think taking one of her friends for coffee is more important than our marks (is very peeved about that) thanks

Hi Rebecca,
Don't worry about Bronte--we still need to finish Elizabeth and Robert Browning, as well as Tennyson. I predict we won't get to Bronte until Thursday or Friday.
All the best,
MC
-_- I at least managed to pull it together for yesterday...
Mr. Carson, sorry I wasn't at school thursday and friday. Thursday I was sick and friday it was just to darn cold (as I have to walk fifteen minutes up hill to get home) I will be to school on monday, unless the snow piles up and we get hit with a new ice age, in which case school most likely wont exist...

Hi Rebecca,
It was indeed cold on Friday: my nostrils froze shut on the way out to my car, and I almost suffocated (until I remembered I had another orifice to breathe through.
Anyway, on both days I droned on endlessly about T.S. Eliot's cheerful poem "The Hollow Men." Make sure you read it: it's FUN!
Take care.

Mr Carson, is there anyway I can get my marks so I know how badly I'm failing?

Wow, really. Reading this blog again has just upped my happiness points by twelve.
And pretending that I have "happiness points" has just upped them by another twelve.
I MISS LIT CLASS. it is so sadly true.
Hi Ruth, Anne and Sarra,
Thanks for posting on the other Blog; I have been too busy lately to post much stuff: I recently had to spend much of my day sitting around a burn-barrel in the driveway of Shady Valley school inhaling smoke and toasting marshmallows--this would be a pretty good job, except that the pay is terrible--and shouting out, "fight the power," and "stick it to the man" at passersby. Never do this young people, 'tis a silly thing.
I think I have The Black Lung from inhaling the smoke from the picket signs I was burning to keep warm.
Anyway, I miss you all, crazy as you are (or perhaps because you are).
Hope you're well.
MC
