My love affair with English.
I love English, it's the one thing I'm 100% sure that I'm gonna have fun with this year. My English this year is the bomb diggity compared to last year. My English teacher last year was a poor excuse for a teacher who claimed she was an excellent teacher and the only thing she wanted to accomplish that year was to hopefully pass on her "genes" of loving and being great at English. She had spelled welcome wrong on the board, she spelled it like this "welcom" and a i heard a message on the wind later on saying that it had been there all day but no one decided to say anything. Until 6th period, the kid sitting behind me who kinda smelled like bad pickles, had said in a nasal voice "um excuse me miss not to be rude or anything of the sorts" he stopped coughed a really guttural unpleaseant noise then continued "but you spelled welcome wrong on the board." She stopped what she was doing whipped her head around stood still for a minute then said "well so i did" and started passing out papers, "well aren't you gonna fix it?" she said no that it was and that it didn't matter. Umm i'm pretty sure it does it spelled WRONG and this is English for crying out loud! Doing the English she assinged really sucked, it drained my love of English right out of me and she took it and flushed down the toliet. I was in an English coma, i did not expect to be woken up, until my new Engilsh teacher this year threw a couple of awesome books in my face and gave me back the intrest and spark i had for English. I now have newfound hope that every English teacher in the future, will not end my love affair with English.

I am so excited to read and talk about all these books! Last night someone came into my grad class with a list of young adult books so I will bring it over and you can go through and pick out some books you’d like to read. I went to Barnes and Noble right after class and bought two new books. I would have bought more but it turns out they close at 9 now and I walked in at 8:55! Where am I going to go for my “late” night hangout now?! I could stay in Barnes and Noble literally forever, especially since they have Starbucks, my other weakness. As the announcements were coming on for the closing I was trying to find as many books as I could, which turned out to only be two. I highlighted a bunch I’d like to read though so I’ll share those with you tomorrow. Hopefully the snow does not interfere because I am really excited to talk about books.

Right? I would love to be locked in Barnes and Noble for a whole night, just chill there.
ReplyDeleteWatch out, I think I can be arrested for throwing books in students' faces. I'm glad though that such an assault has proven useful to you.
ReplyDeleteAs for continuing your love affair with English, once you get it going, there ain't nothing that can stop it. (And yes, I meant to say "ain't" because I can't say "there isn't anything that can stop it" without using a phony British accent and drinking tea with my pinky sticking out.
Oh, and "welcom" to the wonderful world that words create. There's a bunch of us who hang out here pretty much all the time. Especially if we can get Starbucks.
