Class Today

Todays English class was both the best and the worst English class I have ever had. I think I will start off with the good part first. I enjoyed the discussion we had about existentialism, selfishness, and the meaning of life. Not only did I learn various facts about existentialism, it got me thinking deeply about the topic. When we usually have class discussions I am not focused as the one we had today since the topic does not appeal to me. I propose that in the future we have more class discussions about this topic, since clearly we did not finish discussing and analyzing the topic completely. Todays discussion will definitely go into my "English class that was interesting" list (the number of things on here can be counted with one hand).
Contradicting with the above paragraph, it was also the worst English class that I ever had. The reason is the Drunkard Quiz that we received at the beginning of class. I did not get to read the story since the block before where I usually complete my assignments, I was typing up the roster for National Honor Society for Mrs.Wells. Therefore I did not read the story, but I thought just like any other English quiz I could BS my way through it. Well, it didn't turn out that way. I failed this quiz (not magnet fail, actual fail aka <65%) which was kind of expected but shocking at the same time since it was my first time ever in high school failing anything. This brought my grade down 4%, which just added to the depression of the failure.
I will remember todays English class as the worst and best one of my high school career so far.

  1. Making a "Best of" and "Worst of" list in one block is quite an achievement. I feel like I should celebrate.
