Darn you Whitman!

I just finished revising my rough draft of the Whitman essay into a better rough draft.  It took me just over an hour!  Luckily, I had some time to spare.  I found it a little challenging to find strong reasons for why the purpose of the poem was saying that life had meaning.  I used a quote from the last question before the answer, and the comparision of life to a  play for my explanations.  I greatly expanded from those two ideas, but that's most of my essay in a nut shell...
Is anyone else finding themselves only having two to three reasons?

College English

I'm excited to finally take this class. It's not like a regular, have-to-do-it, kind of class. It's an elective that I find intriguing. I've been interested in English since the fourth grade, when Mrs. Ten Brink taught us different writing styles and techniques. I think the subject is fascinating. I want to expand my reading and writing skills through a more professional level type of course.

I also appriciate the maturity (or at least its supposed to be) level of the class. Also I like that we research controversial topics, and aren't afraid of really being able to say what we think (respectfully). I feel I think more like an adult, so being able to finally express things in a higher level of thinking is refreshing. I really want to do well in this class to prepare myself for my college education in the Fall of 2011, especially since I'm double majoring in Pre-Law and English Education at Ferris State. So hopefully Ms. Stariha doesn't crush my hopes and dreams too much. :)

YES!

I can finally post! Yay me! :)

-That is all.

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.

I feel like such a nerd...

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
