Disruptions with my Doc3

When creating my Doc3, I had some disruptions that hindered my ability to create/work hard on my Doc3. My main disruption, when creating my document, is work. The job I work at occupies a lot of my time because I typically work doubles, not that I choose to but my manager chooses to schedule me as a double. So, by the time I get home, I'd choose not to stay up even more just to work on my assignment. Besides my work schedule being a hindrance to my assignment, my own procrastination or poor time management skills have disrupted my time. I've been in quite a slump this whole semester with my core classes, and so, I choose to not work on the assignments on my days off. Days go by, and what seems like out of nowhere, the assignment is due and I am left scrambling to do my assignment. However, I strive to push myself and to at least get a B, so if that requires me to pull an all nighter to work on my assignments I will. So those have been my disruptions with my Doc3. Did you have any disruptions when working on the document? If so, what were they?

Colleagues and their posts

This week Hamon's ENGL 2111 class, we had the job of peer reviewing each other's Doc3 posts. Each classmate was assigned two individuals to evaluate, and the two that I got were Gutierrez and Frenz. First, Mr. Gutierrez's Doc3 informed me on who Sappho was and what she did throughout her lifetime. He opens his introduction stating, "Sappho a women well known for her poetry and the way she quickly engages us trying to search deep into her fragments to discover her true personality and life", right away this lets me know who Gutierrez will be talking about in his assignment. In his assignment, he structures different sections in which relate to Sappho, further describing who Sappho was. Those three sections were: The Life of Sappho, the Poetry (her work), and Sappho's Legacy, all in which go into great detail. With these three well detailed sections, I learned who Sappho was and how she had an impact during her time. Second, Ms. Frenz's Doc3 informed me on who Ovid was. Frenz starts off by stating that Ovid's full name was Publius Ovidius Naso, and that "he was expected to be a lawyer" but turned and started to be a poet. I also learned that "he was a member of "Roman knightly class"", which is basically now-and-days high class. From her assignment, I've learned who Ovid was and what happened throughout most of his life.

Beauty in my Favorite song

Beauty can be found anywhere on this planet. It can be found in movies, songs, nature, people, food, and anything else that the individual sees as beautiful; however, this does not apply to everything! On the other hand, I personally find a lot of songs to be beautiful, having a beautiful/emotional meaning. I do not have a "favorite" song; however, there is this one song that I'm addicted to, that just recently came out. That song is "Hello" by Adele off her new album 25. The story behind the song is that Adele was in a loving relationship that unfortunately ended with her breaking this guy's heart. Over the years Adele thinks constantly of this guy and regrets ever breaking it off. So, to try and amend the relationship, Adele calls this guy over and over apologizing for breaking his heart. I realize that this song is FAR from being something that you would think as beautiful...I mean, it's about a break up; however, the fact that Adele goes through the effort to try and amend the relationship and her vocals behind the words just does it for me, that's why I find it beautiful.
