Looking back on my previous entries, I find that I use a lot of smiley faces - just something interesting to note.
I have been enjoying my classes, many of them English classes - since I am a declared English Major; for example, I have a creative writing class, a class devoted to reading Robert Frost's poetry (I have a huge book and a new appreciation for what he wrote), and a Literary Interpretation class wherein we discuss different ways to analyze a text (books, poems, plays ,etc.). I also have an online art class that I scan in my drawings for, and a religion class about marriage and family life called Family Foundations. It has been an interesting experience, and I have been learning much from these classes. If you want a poem by Frost or need an idea for an essay about a book, just give me a call! =) (there's that smiley face again)
A few people, mostly roommates, have expressed amazement - and also the fact that I am weird - for reading so many books for fun while I am at school. How do I have the time for it? I just do - I reply with shrugged shoulders - and I make time for it. For me reading a good book is refreshing and energizing (reading a badly written book is just annoying and frustrating, but I'm not talking about that right now), and being more of the type of person who stays at home rather than going out and being social, it becomes my main form of entertainment. But don't worry about me, I try very hard to get all my homework done for the day before sitting down and reading a book, so it's not like I'm ignoring my school work.
Thanksgiving Break is coming up, and I Am Excited. I'll be home for almost the entire week with fun family and free food. Just one more week! I plan to get ahead with my homework so that I don't have to worry about it over the break.
