Famous Last Words: Almost Done

As the semester gets closer and closer to being over, I continue to tell myself to not get lazy. I do not want to have all my hard work go to waste by getting lazy the last four weeks of school. I feel like I have learned to manage my time better and plan ahead for things by writing daily blog posts for this class. I have also figured out tips and tricks for my other classes, as well as study techniques. However, my organic chemistry class is totally kicking my butt. I just cannot seem to figure out organic chemistry  at all LOL! I have been focusing on school work a lot lately, so I have not really had a social life lately, but this past week was relaxing because I got so far ahead that I did not have to worry about school work!

"A Mad Tea-Party" is the story that recreates one of the most famous scenes in the movie Alice in Wonderland.

The Hatter had a pocket watch, but it does not tell the time, only the day of the month. Any why did the Hatter dip his watch into his tea and spread butter on it?

The story "Down the Rabbit Hole" is the beginning of the Alice in Wonderland story and it is just like I remember. The story is very detailed and I could easily imagine the movie as I was reading the stories. The first part of the story is Alice falling down the rabbit hole. Was she falling in slow motion or was she falling for a very long time? She wonders that as she continuously falls. She see object floating around her and tries to grab them and see what they are. She starts creating scenarios in her head and imagining things. Does she go crazy the farther she falls? Is this all a dream? The whole time she was falling, she did not mention seeing the rabbit, but as soon as she landed on ground, she saw the rabbit hurrying away. Did the rabbit fall the same way Alice did? The story then entered the part of Alice trying to get through the doors in the room where she fell. She found the small door but could not fit so she found the drink that said "drink me." Of
