Previos English Experiences

This is my first blogging experience. So I guess I will continue onto my previous experiences in English classes. English is not at all my favorite subject. I try to not take it if at all possible. It is very hard for me to get enthused about reading books that I have no desire to read, and also to write about these books that I do not like reading. When I can choose my book I feel it is much easier for me to get into it. I have trouble reading books that go on and describe just about everything. I prefer ones that have a lot of action, and just don't see many that are like that from my previous classes. What I am good at in English is grammar. Maybe not in a practical sense, but when I had the grammar text books in class, it was easy to cruise through it. I had one when I was a sophomore in high school. That year was alright in English. I didn't like the class as a whole, because of the whole writing thing, but this girl I had a crush on was in it so it was exciting to go to. I don't remember a whole lot of my English classes before that time, I try to block out bad experiences. When I was a senior though, I has two classes that were pretty good. They were actually fun to go to for the most part. The first was titled Research Paper, where amazingly I wrote research papers. The teacher in that class was fun to have. He seemed off of his rocker at times, but that made it interesting. Plus I spent most of the class time on the computer looking at espn.com or playing games. The other class was fun because my teacher was in his first year, so he could relate a little bit more to current high school students. We also read a good book for once in my high school career. For this class I have no real expectations. I would just like to get out of it with an A. So that finishes my first blog.
