Just Another Day. ENG4U

I haven’t the time. Shoot me.

So far things are going well in English class. I’m getting an 82% at the moment… definitely not high enough for my liking. I need to get my a** in gear. I’m slacking, procrastinating and having trouble keeping up my determination.  

I got a surprisingly alright mark on my Heart of Darkness essay. I felt, while posting it, like an idiot. Worst essay I’ve ever written. The process was dreadful. I’m writing my Wizard of Oz test essay tonight. Starting a little late… I’ve been busy. But I’m excited to get home and start writing. I feel as though I could write my 8-12 page on this. Too bad it’s a test essay.

I’m considering applying for professional writer at Algonquin for next year. I’d love to be accepted into the dental program, but the chances of that are slim. Maybe it’d be for the best though. I do love to write.

I’m beginning to stress out about this year. Not because my classes are too much. That’s not the case at all. I’m stressing over the fact that this is my last year. Last high school year, and then I need to pick and choose. I need to at least make a general decision about what I plan on doing next year and possibly years to come. College and university is all I’ve been hearing about since school started, which I know is good because it’s helping me to realize I need to get my ass in gear, but at the same time it’s now pushing me over that line to where I’m worrying but getting nowhere. I don’t want to make the wrong decision. I know whatever I decide doesn’t need to be permanent, but I also don’t want to end up wasting my time, wasting my life following a path that isn’t right for me. I don’t want to have to back-track. I don’t want to, at any point, have to start over. Ugh.

Sincerely, 135821.

School time has rolled around again, but this time it’s my last high school year. Going to enjoy it for sure. My classes are awesome. . . all except my chemistry class I’m taking next semester. I dislike chemistry. I very  much dislike chemistry. Sadly, I must take it though. It’s required if I plan on getting into the dental assistant program at Algonquin college next year. Fingers crossed.

I’m excited. This year has the potential to be the best one yet. English AND writer’s craft next semester. English both semesters? Kickass .

Mr. Curtis is being… something I should not say. Not allowed to leave the school during spares? … I mean, study periods … lame. We’ll see how long that lasts.

I’m ALSO  excited about starting to read my first book for this years class, and about doing the essay. Should be good. The book is short enough for my short memory span and it’s said to be excellent. Definitely should be good. Hopefully I can pass with a fairly superb mark in this class. It would mean a lot to me. . . and will insure my prayed for high average for the semester. I need to excel this year. I need to not get lazy this year. I need to keep in mind next year. Let’s do this.

Sincerely, 135821.

I asked Mr.Murray a question, and ended up with a useful website. http://www.nwlink.com/~Donclark/hrd/bloom.html

I like.

I missed today. I feel horrible. I needed to be there to help my group out with the propoganda project. It’s supposed to be done for Tuesday… I’m not sure how well we’re going to make that deadline. I think I’m supposed to be editing it… not sure how well I can do that when I don’t have what ever was filmed today.

I’m started to get worried about all these projects. All due at once, pretty much. I haven’t started my essay yet. Not very far on my eutopia. & the group project is difficult with such a big group. End of the year is stressful.

We’re now starting work on the novel “Animal Farm”. I handed back in my Macbeth book. Which I never finished reading. Horrible, I know. Mr.Murray says this book is straight forward. I really hope so since I haven’t seen a play for this one…

We got our report cards last Friday. I’ll say I’m a little disappointed. My current average is not high enough to place me on the honour roll. I need to work harder. Considering the classes I have, I should be sitting on there right now.

I finally received a mark for my Macbeth essay. I suppose I’m happy with that mark. Just that it’s a crummy feeling knowing it could have been higher had my title page font been smaller, or my beginning quote been shorter. Little things like that I guess is where I went wrong. Hopefully I’ll do better on the next one.

Exams are only half a semester away. Oh gosh.

WOO, I finished my essay. But with only having use of wordpad, I can’t make it double spaced, or do the 5 space indenting for my long quotes. Therefore, I need to wait until tonight when my sister gets home to do it on her laptop. *sigh* Hopefully I won’t get penalized for having it in after school hours? Still the same day though right…

I was going to do it today at school in the library during lunch. Doesn’t look like I’m at school though. I missed my bus. Of course. After working so hard on my essay all last night, why would I make it to school?

sm.

I’ll never finish this essay on time. I can’t work. I have no idea how to write this essay. I’m going to get a big fat NL and die.

So much for this blogging stuff. I’ve hardly been writing, and I don’t think that’s much different from everyone else. I know Murray said he’s not one to nag or remind us, but without a bit of that… people just don’t remember. That’s how kids are today. We need to be reminded, we have to feel that push, or else we’re simply too forgetful and too lazy.

I’m a little confused by Mr.Murray’s english site he has set up for the class. Not that I’ve been on it much.

I enjoyed the debates he had us do though. I get so much out of those. & I love debating. I was worried at first, thinking my group was going to fail miserably. But we didn’t. I had fun. I hope we got an alright mark. I’m fairly confused about how I’m doing in the class so far. Progress reports were trash since he had nothing to base it 0ff of except how we acted in class.

We have two assignments due tomorrow. Our play, in replacement of our test… which was a ridiculously stupid move. & an essay, I think.

The play is a mess. Cassondra and I don’t even have one. We never finished the translation of our scene to modern english. And therefore, never began to memorize lines or act it out. I’m stressed due to that. & praying he doesn’t call on us to go tomorrow… or he’ll be setting himself up for disappointed.

The essay, I need to ask someone about. I looked for the assignment on his site today (because I’m a procrastinator obviously), and I don’t think I could find it. I thought it was to be an essay, but I didn’t find an essay assignment anywhere.

Ok. Enough. Later.
