And Welcome,

Well, I'm back from spring break that is and not happy, but hey it has to end sometime. Anyways, I enjoyed break and was super glad that on the Monday back I got to sleep in. Yes, that's right no English class this week and loving it. OK, so I'm being a little over the top on how much I "hate" English, but the truth is it's not that bad. Actually, I like English this year. College English is so much better than high school English because we don't have to do the same old boring things, like poetry or Shakespeare, we get to do whatever the teacher feels like throwing at us. That means the topics are better and more interesting. Plus, I think I have connected to the teacher more than I thought I would have. I mean it's not like we're pally or best friends, but I definitely have a closer connection to her than with any of my other professors. I think it's because I have talked privately with her on so many occasions. I just feel the need to ask so many questions because I am really bad at English and I want to do the best I can on the papers.
OK, on another note, I feel like such a nerd talking about how I like English. Even though English isn't even a subject that "nerds are good at." Well, I guess it's because of reading that I associate nerds with English...no offence English teachers. I guess I should stop myself while I can don't want a mob of angry nerds coming after me, ha ha. So, actually lost what I was talking about there. I think I should stop writing this before it gets bad. Lol. But, sadly it needs to be longer. So, having written all this nonsense, back to English. I guess my point really is that English is tough but it can be fun too. So, it's best to just let it happen and maybe express yourself to make things fun. It's writing really, that's all it is so why not put you in it and make something great, you never know you just might like it, I did. (367)

Until Next Time,
Yours...what I always write.

Hola,

I actually enjoyed the last assignment. I think I did fairly well on my paper. It took a lot of research and a lot of refining but it was worth it. I thought it would be a pain to have to finish the essay in such a short amount of time but it wasn't. The only thing I wish I could have had was more feedback like we had on the first paper. On the first paper we had had both the teacher's feedback and the students feedback and I like that. They were both very helpful in completing my paper I used both sets of feedback to correct my first paper. But, with the second one I kind of just had to ask questions and figure out what needed fixing on my own. But I guess it was better that way. I like that the teacher gives us formats and stuff but gives us more freedom on writing the paper. It's more of a learning experience for me if I figure it out on my own rather than being shown everything. I kind of have to fail first to be able to succeed on my own if everything is shown to me or handed to me than I tend to forget it or not remember all the important details. So, honestly I think this is the first time I have really enjoyed English writing assignments and all, and the first time I have really learned something about writing that I didn't already know. Also, I think I learned something about myself; that yes I can write if I put my mind to it. I may think that I am a horrible writer but in a sense aren't we all horrible writers who need time and time again to reread and rewrite or works? I guess it's just the way you look at it, and read it, and write it. The fact is some people just know how to do it better than others. It's all how you look at it. (330)

Hello Again,

Well, I finished my essay and wah wah wah. I was a little upset because I had stayed up all night to do the research and finish my essay only to have slept through the class. Being and architecture student I don't like the idea of all-nighters. Plus, I had finished my essay a couple hours before I had to be up to go to my class, so I decided it was a good idea to get some shut eye before I went to class. Even though I am a heavy sleeper and wont get up for anything when I'm in a dead sleep, I thought setting every alarm possible would be enough, IT WAS NOT! I ended up sleeping five hours instead of the intended two and slept through my class. I was so upset because I could have slept for nine hours instead and had the same result. LOL. Oh well, I guess it happens to everyone. The good part is that my professor was understanding and I was able to hand in my essay on time. I guess I wont be doing me essays last minute anymore but we all say that and it still happens. The only thing is I have one more absence and then I'm out, so I'm crossing my fingers hoping this wont happen again.

Signed,
Yours and Mine Deep Do-Do

Well, Hello There,

These past few weeks have been interesting. I think I'm doing well; english isn't as hard as I thought it'd be. The only thing is I can't wait to get off the topic we're on. I really hate talking about men and women and the differences between them. Considering there are only three girls in the class, when everyone comes, we are saverely out numbered, and it makes me uncomfortable. I know that the guys are going to bash on the girls and yes, I will speak up on the girls' behalf but it doesn't really help much. I just don't like stereotypes because honestly most of the time the stereotype is right about a lot of people and it just makes you feel bad about yourself. Another thing is, even if we don't want to admit it, everyone has their own stereotype in their head and going in to the new assignment that's exactly the way I was looking at it. With my own stereotypes in mind I thought that my research would come out completely different than the way they did. Having done my research and realizing that none of the people I had interviewed fit my stereotype I realized that I would have to write an essay based on the facts not my oppinions. So, good luck to me, right. Ah, FML!

Signed,
(sigh) Yours Truely
