Blog #16

So i went to see Iron Man 3 tonight and it was so great. It was just like a piece of literature. It had puns, allusions, metaphors, and many other literary terms except it had pictures. :) But this is our last blog post of the year. This is exciting because i never liked the blogs but i think they have served a purpose. They have really made you think about what you have learned throughout that week. They help to allow reflection.

I have learned many things this year in my first Ap English class. I haven't enjoyed it all but I'm sure i will put some of the new assets i have gained to use in my college experience. It only gets harder from here on out. That sounds awful and not exciting. Why can't i just be smart and sassy like Tony Stark? He has it all but it started off just like the rest of us, small and unsure of his future. He made the best of what he got and thats what i plan on doing too. But maybe without all violence and iron suits. Maybe a little violence never hurt anyone but excess use is unnecessary.

Anyways this class had helped me to show myself that everything doesn't come easy, you have to work hard for what you want. I haven't fine this all year and may be in trouble because of that. But its a part of life, making mistakes is what happens. But what comes after mistakes isn't always fun.

Blog #15

So its close to the end of the year and everyone is done with school. I feel this also but am sort of sad at the same time. I like daily routines and i gave had this one for 12 years. Yes I'm looking forward to college but I'm scared of what may come. Am i prepared to face mistakes i will make, am i prepared to leave and be my own person? These are the questions that one must ask. But I'm not sure i want the answers. Why can't my life be a simple story with a happy ending? Because that's not living, that's why. But i think I'm ready to start a new chapter, ready to move on to different things, things you can't get in high school. Like being more responsible about course work, being on time, and moving out. These will all be new but exciting. And yes this is all very cliche but i needed one post about this.

But on the other have no more essays in English,  yay! I have seen a little improvement on these throughout the year but i still feel that i need to work harder on them. They are quite up to par. But I'm sure it will come in time. Just like the saying practice makes perfect, i intend on more practice.
