I seriously almost went to bed about five minutes ago, but then I remembered I have to make a post within the next thirty-six minutes, so I'd better hop to it. But since I am rather sleepy, this is going to be shorter.
What's most on my mind right now that concerns English class would be when Ms. Long came to talk to us about college. I'm not sure if I'm the only person who became terrified from the combination of confusing information, the haste in which it was delivered, and the papers where we had to basically sell how amazing but still human we are, but it really got to me. I want to go to college definitely, yet I didn't realize it was all so ... difficult to apply. Maybe I just took it that way, I wasn't having the best day in the first place. It just seemed like a lot that I was not prepared to hear.
I'm going with the hope I'm being a little dumb about it. But as for now, I'm going to get some sleep so I don't pass out during class tomorrow, because I still really do like it and would prefer not to miss it. Goodnight, whoever is reading this!

Reading and Such
Okie dokies, so this is about two days late on this blog... I kind of forgot to do this Thursday night, then could not think of a thing to write about yesterday. But here I am now, late, but at least posting something.
So far I like this class a lot. I know that it usually takes time to fully form an opinion on classes, so I may end up hating it at some point, but as of now, it's pretty cool. I like reading quite a bit, and writing so very much, so the fact that this class centers around those makes me happy. The first summer reading book I read, Swamplandia!, actually got me back into enjoying reading. I used to read around three or four books a week in eighth grade, but once I started high school, that number slowly dwindled down to around one every two weeks. By the beginning of summer, I'd be lucky if I read one book a month. But after finishing it, I remembered how I used to love reading.
I've made a goal for myself to stay on this book high. Even though my workload at school can get ridiculous at times, I still do have time that I waste that I could be using to read something. I also think that will probably help out quite a bit with this class.
So yeah, first post complete!
