Now for the FINAL BLOG... of the semester.

This blog I missed because.. well I just forgot but while I'm on here, I'm going to make it up.

For the final blog we are suppose to list out what we liked, didn't like, what we would change about the class, etc.  For starters, I definitely liked the short story and Satire Unit.  I thought that we learned a lot about all the different types of devices uses in short stories.  I really like the analysis because even though a short story is obviously short, it still has a lot to off when it comes to theme and meaning.  I like satire because I'm a teenager and I love sarcasm.  Sarcasm consumes teenagers lives so who wouldn't like it.

What I didn't like was the DRAMA unit.  I hate drama especially Shakespeare.  I don't do well with language barriers so I didn't really understand  a lot of whats going on without sparknotes.  I don't do well with drama.

The things that I would change about the class and hope for next semester is communication.  I felt like there was a lack of communication between the students and teacher but everyone was sick so its understandable that things somewhat got lost.  I also hope to see the MWDS more modified.  The ones that we did today in class I thought was a lot better.  I don't understand the point of the history box or the genre box.  I know they are apart of the book but I think they would explain that if it was really important.

Anyways, those were my critics but other than that, I enjoy the class.

Blogging is seriously cramping my style..

Considering I have forgotten to do my blog twice in a row, maybe I should rethink my notification system.  Last week, I missed my blog because of my choir concert so I will blog about that since it was a the cause of me missing it and I just never got around to making it up.

My concert choir was really wonderful.  We had so much going on that entire week and it was amazing.  But when I really thought about it, I was got overwhelmed and sad because I realized that it was my very last Christmas concert in the Dunbar Choir.  I think I even teared up.

There was only one song that was really moving and it really hit my heart because it was all I could think about.  Awakening was about being without music in your life.  I honestly could not live without music.  Music keeps me sane and I look forward to my choir classes every day because I know its my favorite block of my school day.  This concert was just really tear jerking for me and I realized that I don't want to leave. I hope that I will be fortunate enough to participate in choir at college but right now, I'm not sure it that will happen.

I just hope I've made enough memories to last a lifetime.. Or until I can watch my children sing in their High School Choir.
