School has started again (I started on August 23rd). I am taking my English class that I dropped last semester. I have to say that this class has started dramatically better than it did last time. This teacher is more laid back and younger. I think it helps that I decided to take the class over two days instead of all four hours on one day. One aspect of this class that is taking some time getting use to is reading my stuff out loud in front of the class. Now I don’t really have a problem speaking in front of people, I just have a hard time reading what I have written. We do journals every Thursday and we have to read at least two of them out loud for points. Any others that we decide to read we receive extra credit. That is another thing with this teacher… there are a lot of ways to get extra credit. If we decide to read our essays out loud we can also receive extra credit. We have already done the rough drafts of the first essay. I will be getting mine back from the teacher today to do any revisions and then get the final draft ready to turn in on Tuesday. It is nice to be writing again. Though they are essays it is still writing. This essay was a narrative essay, which is sort of like telling a story only it is not fiction. Though I am not looking forward to the final paper we have to do. I don’t remember how long it has to be but I think at least like 8 pages. At least the teacher lets us pick what topic to write about and the door is wide open. She will let us write about anything we want. Well if I write anything that I feel is done well enough I will post it here for everyone to read.
