This is going to be challenging
College english is going to be very challenging but I'm always up for a good challenge. I'm going to Michigan Tech to be some sort of engineer, so I'm not to sure if I really need this class. I do know this much though it will look very good on my record. So I'm ready for whatever this class brings to the table.
Joining In
I'm glad to see the excitement in these posts. I am looking forward to this class as well.

Concerns and Excitements
I am excited about the class, and I expect to learn a ton! I know that there is alot of work required and the class is very demanding, but I want to do my best and maintain an A or a B. I know that my writing is not my strongest quality but I am looking forward to improving upon it. I also have not read much in the last couple years so I am kind of looking forward to reading again, and I know this class will motivate me. I am sad that Stariah will not be with us the whole time but I know that Ms. K. will keep us on track and help prepare us for the 2nd half of the class

I know taking college english isn't going to be easy, but i hope in the end it's worth it. I expect to become a better writer, and expand my abilities. I know the class is going to be alot of work, but I hope it's also fun. I want to feel very confident in my wrighting abilities when I go to college next year and i am sure this class will help me do that. I agree with Emily where she said that she doesn't make time to read as much as she should. I don't read unless I have to, and thats probably not a very good habit. So this class will get me back in the habit of reading daily, which will be good practice for next year. I look forward to preparing for the future!

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!!
