I don’t like reading Shakespeare. I find the old english in which he writes to be difficult to follow sometimes. This makes it stressful when you get further into a story and are expected to actually know and understand what is going on. I saw the play, now common… do I really need to read the book as well?

I’m hating the seating arrangement in Murray’s classroom. Seriously, it’s not organized enough for me. I need a seat to call my own. A place where can I look forward to sitting after experiencing some other horribly boring class. I don’t want to have to run from my locker to class just so I can get a seat away from that kid who wipes their snot on you when they have a cold. I don’t want to have a panic attack or break a sweat over a lack of seating plan. Alright, so I’m exaggerating a little. But only a little. I want a finalized seating plan. In pen.

P.S I can’t figure out why the spacing is so messed up on my last entry and it’s pissing me off. Any ideas?

New semester has began. Bringing in four new classes. One of those classes obviously being english. Never before have I had such a technology based english class. I suppose it’s cool though…

I’m used to writing in a blog so, this part isn’t too new to me. Only thing is, posting notes? That’ll be annoying. But hopefully it works out for the best in the end.

This is my first time having P. Murray. I’ve only heard good about him, so I was glad to finally get him. He’s pretty funny, and definitely not boring… at least not so far. But I hope he can teach.

Kay, I have other things to do.

The End.
