Why Hello Again My Young Readers! Nice To See You Too!

You know what everyone? I have finally realized that this is blog!... And that (even though how awesome it is) I shouldn't just talk about Shakespeare class because (hello!) Oreo's got to have a little fun! Of course I already have fun but I guess I need a little bit more!

So instead (well for right now at least) I'm going to suggest some books that YOU should read: Princess of The Midnight Ball and Princess of Glass both by Jessica Day George and Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte.

YOU should only read these books if you're a girl unless you're a boy who just LOVES girly classics and just LOVES fairy tale retellings and just LOVES Princesses getting rescued by a very HANDSOME and BRAVE Knight. So basically I'm suggesting these books for the girls who are reading this.

Now for some Shakespeare updates... I still haven't got the paper from my third week back yet and I'm just HOPING It's because My teacher is writing me positive feedback about my paper. (Which means you still don't need to be scared)

Have a fun week!

See you next time folks!

Shakespeare AGAIN?!

Sorry everyone about not posting on Tuesday I've been kind of busy. You know Shakespeare class and everything else that's going on in my life.

I'm so busy this school year that if you look at the calendar on my phone you can't see the numbers because what's going on on each day of this month is high lighted in different colors (I know fun calendar right?).

So on Tuesday we found out water guns have been banned... actually I'm just kidding. But I don't think that they've stocked up on mini water guns again and I have not seen another plastic cup after that.

So 4 people got in trouble for not listening this week and they got put in the stocks and stoned (well with paper balls anyway) and 3 of them were my personal friends (I couldn't believe they could commit such a crime!).

Then we had a discussion about Julius Caesar.

Now you may be asking have you got the paper you wrote back from your third week of class yet? Well I am very proud to tell you that I have NOT gotten it back yet so you won't be hearing about any of my papers this week either so just wipe the sweat off your face because you don't need to be scared anymore.

So anyway I had lots of fun in class this week.

Thanks for reading my posts guys! See you soon!

p.s. You're sweating again! I feel it in my bones. Seriously you don't need to be scared if me.

More Shakespeare and ISANITY!

Hey everyone! Here is some more stuff about my Shakespeare class and the movie I watched.

So I watched The Taming of The Shrew. It was hilarious! The Shrew was Elizabeth Taylor who I think (but am not quite sure) is now dead. This version was not quite accurate so I couldn't follow along with the book as I usually do but it was a good movie anyway. My favorite thing about it was when you first see the shrew and she's wearing a dress that looks like it's made out of a circus tent (you know with the funny stripes?). But anyway The Taming of The Shrew is basically about a man who takes upon the challenge to marry the Shrew and is determined to turn her into a proper wife. So in the end he achieves his goal. She listens to him and obeys him and agrees with everything he says and even better... she doesn't wear the circus tent dress anymore! Anyway I really enjoyed The Taming of The Shrew!

In my Shakespeare class we earn Ducats (a type of money in Shakespeare's time) for stuff like writing papers and turning them in and getting crowned and being involved in our lectures... well you get the idea anyway... For two Ducats we can buy mini water guns. Well today everyone bought them and everyone (except for me and a couple of my friends) got into a HUGE water fight! One of my friends (who was able to buy a water gun before they were all gone) was in the fight and he got soaked to the bone! It was CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!! And some people who still wanted to be involved went to the kitchen and got plastic cups and filled them up with the hose outside and threw the water at people and that's the main reason people were getting so wet! And there were people screaming and slipping and just getting really Really REALLY! WET! And even though I wasn't involved my right foot got soaked and so was part of my right pant leg.
It was just INSANE!

I know that didn't have a lot to do with my class but we do learn something here now don't we... water guns should be banned and everyone should stick to the the drinking fountain and get rid of those plastic cups and that hose!
