Welcome to part two of the hardest class you will ever take... haha jk! Even though this class is a challenge, you must admit that some of the things are quite interesting! Those short stories? Yeah they were wierd, but they sure did strike up a conversation! Or what about Frankenstein? I think we had mixed opinions on it, but it still got the class involved!
So what is in store for this semester to be? All I know is that The Grapes of Wrath better be interesting! I'm looking forward to Hamlet and the films we will be watching. But most of all, I'm honestly looking forward to, ok maybe not 'looking forward to' but I'm need to start working on my essay skills. That AP exam seems so far away but I know it will start creeping up on us. I really hope I'll be able to write a decent essay by the end of the semester. I know what to do, so why can't I just do it?? So much pressure! At least I have this whole semester to start thinking about it... I'm ready for another intense 'nose to the grindstone', 'let's put this off till the last day', 'god, I'm so tired" semester! Are you?

I know what you mean, i really really liked Grendel last semester and i'm looking forward to something to catch my attention this semester. I'm hoping the grapes of wrath will be good because Mrs. Clinch said it was, but so far i've only read about a guy and a turtle on a really hot day (i'm not that far).
Still, i'm hoping it gets a bit more exciting!
I hope I improve my essay skills too! I make the same mistakes every time, but I can never seem to fix them. I think it might be because I am always in such a rush when I'm writing those in class essays that I don't get much time to think about it. Hopefully that will change though!
I really just wish that graduation would just COME without anymore tests or exams! I wish i could just wake up and it was graduation day! Unfortunately I know that we have to go through about 5 more months though! So, in some respects I look forward to my last few months in high school, and also to some of the things we will be doing in Lit such as Hamlet and film analysis!
