I feel ready!!!

I feel like I am ready to start a challenging English class! I am so excited to learn to become a better writer! I know that writing is not my strongest area, so I am anxious to learn to become a much better writer. I have a difficult time finding time to read, but if it is for a class, I know that I will make it a priority. I really enjoy reading, and this class will give me a good excuse to get back into it. I am also very excited for the senior portfolio! I love PowerPoint's and I am so glad that online is one of the options for completing the project. College English, here I come!!!

Goal and concerns

I'm SO excited for this class!! I'm an english girl through and through so this should be right up my alley! I love reading-which I'm sure is pretty obvious- so I'm really excited about the different books we're going to read! I'm very concerned however, about the writing part. I honestly can't stand writing. It drives me up a wall! So needless to say all the papers seem a little daunting to me. Even though I don't really like writing I'm looking forward to developing a good technique and vocabulary. Another thing I'm rather concerned about is the discussion aspect. I'm pretty shy - shocker huh?- so talking in class and expressing how I feel is probably going to be an even bigger challenge than the writing!! Overall I'm really crazy excited about all the opportunities this class is going to create for me!!
