Free choice

I found class very interesting today. W.T showed up today and whenever he comes i think students are more involved and more active, especially when we play the game Yosemite. That game is very interactive and you have too be a good listener. After the game we usually find out a activity to do involving the book "Midsummer Night's Dream ". Today we had too pick a scene from the book and act it out but with no movements so everyone else had too guess which scene it was. I was surprised that everyone got a scene ready and we were able to guess it correctly. W.T also showed us how too be in control of a scene and make it seem as real as possible without even touching one another. For example, he had one of us make it look like we were pullin his hair, one where it made it look like we pushed him on the floor and another one where we "Slapped" him. We then tried what we learned on one another and it was an success. We will be seeing W.T three times this week and i can't wait for the next meeting.

This year is going by really fast.  One day I was excited to be a senior now all of a sudden  we are 3 months from graduating. I feel this has been one of my best years in high school. I've been getting my work done and staying out of trouble.  My mother and sister are proud of my grades and so am I. Even though we are spending a lot of money for Senior dues and other things it has  been a real productive year. Other than that the cold weather has been getting on my nerves and i cant wait till it gets nice outside so we can start playing ball in St. Nicholas Park or go to Riverbank State Park. Since it's been cold I've been trying to find some gyms to play ball in and that never works out because every body and they mother try to come. Besides that I kinda can't wait for college too come so I can get out the house and live on my own. It will take more responsibilities but i think im ready for the challenge. I also heard college can be   "Four of the best years of your life" which is another reason why im so estatic.

Throughout the past week or two, we've been reading "Midsummer Night's Dream" by William Shakespeare. I would have too say that's it's a pretty decent read (so far). The language is kinda confusing but sooner or later we'll get used to it. It is supposed to be a comedy play believed to have been written between 1590 and 1596. It portrays the events surrounding the marriage of the Duke of Athens, Theseus, and Hippolyta. These include the adventures of four young Athenian lovers and a group of six amateur actors  who are controlled and manipulated by the fairies who inhabit the forest, which is what ms.hegeman told us. But as of right now we're nowhere near that part. We are at the part where Hermia and Helena argue. They argue because Helena is convinced Hermia, her closest and oldest friend, is “…one of this confederacy…” to mock her. They are also arguing because Hermia is convinced Helena is scorning her by refusing Lysander’s love after somehow managing to make him fall in love with her (Helena) and, hence, out of love with herself (Hermia). Hopefully we read more and get too the "funny" parts
