Friday: End To A Looong Week!

So, I'm sitting here in my College Class defiantly not doing anything but blogging and listening to marching music (I'm obsessed with music what can I say!) I have no idea what to blog about, but I want to make sure I get my points! :)

The discussions for our controversial projects are going good, getting a little heated I thought.

I finished "1984" after writing my long Op-Ed essay! Not really my type of book! And I'm all 'essay-ed' out *cough cough hint hint* :)

Now on to the weekend! Come out and support the Cheer Team at our only home invite this Saturday (the 22nd)!!!

What a great week!

Well... This week has been...GREAT!
1984 is getting better and better.  I've been informed by secret sources that the ending suckes eggs... but I'm enjoying it.
The whole op-ed essay is becoming more of an annoyance than a pleasure.  I stopped typing to find out that I had 800 words, and had only used one reference!!  I feel the word limit is holding me back, but then again, trimming the fat in an opinion based paper is for the best.  I'm glad this class is as difficult as it is!  It's getting me ready for the real world.
In completly unrelated news, I wrote a letter to "Playstation: The Official Magazine,"  AND IT GOT PUBLISHED!  That kind of thing NEVER happens to people you know, and I'm enthralled that my letter got chosen, (even if it was a nerdy letter at best.)
And then, in the fake stocks that we are forced to invest in, (staring at one million $, and growing,)  I've made a 13% profit!!  It's crazy awesome!  I only wish I had invested some of my real money.
Lets not forget that we had a snow day this week too!

This week has kicked some serious asteriods!
I hope the Friday presentation goes well!  : )

Catching up, but still behind...

I've caught up on my reading for 1984, but I'm not real far along with my Op-Ed rough draft. I'm not really struggling, its just that I didn't really start it until yesterday evening during our snow day. I just wanted to know if its okay that we don't have all 750 words when we send in our draft by Friday since we are obviously going to be editing and revising it for the final draft. When that happens, there will be some information added and other parts deleted. If anyone has any ideas about the rule of the "length" for our rough draft, please comment. :) Thanks.

Almost Done!! :D

600 words down....150 to go!! Almost done with the rough draft of the op-ed essay! :)
Definently not to its perfection state yet but it sure does feel good to have it almost done!
Looking forward to fridays issue! :)

Presenting?

So the other English classes (Senior Composition and English 12) simply did their senior portfolios and handed them in. They did not present. And tons of people in our class are thinking about how they are going to present, but I am confused because I thought we were just handing them in.
So can someone explain exactly what we are doing with our portfolios?
