AP English so far...

So far AP English has been interesting. We have had homework every single night and, especially this week, it was stressful for me. Coming up with sentences for the vocabulary has actually been kind of challenging for me. Earlier this week, during the double, we had one of the most in depth class discussions I have ever had and at times I felt like it was way over my head. The essay that we read this week that F. Scott Fitzgerald was hard for me. Partially because I was trying to read it at 11:00 at night and I really didn't like F. Scott much after reading it. I thought he was crazy and extremely intolerant. My favorite part of that essay was him listing the kinds of people that he likes, girls until their 14, boys after the age of 7, he hates all strangers etc. I haven't read the next essay yet, but I'm hoping it's not quite as difficult. I enjoy our class discussions, and I really like talking about the Great Gatsby. When I first read Gatsby, I really didn't like it, but now after we've talked about it, I understand it more and am starting to like the book.

Thank you for being honest Kendal. This class will push you, but it is by no means beyond your capabilities. The work won't kill you either; it make drive you crazy.
