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!
