English 103

When I found out I had to take English 103 Accelerated Comp, I didn't expect it to be that much work.  I figured we would just read a couple stories from the 18th century, write a couple papers, take some tests, etc.  It actually turned out to be way better than I expected.  For instance, after every class we have to write a blog either about the reading or a certain topic discussed in that day's class.  I have never done a blog before.  I've always read blogs, but I never actually took the time out to create one of my own.  So I thought that was pretty cool.  Also, every English class I've had, we've always read stories about something I never really cared about.  In English 103, we get to watch music videos on YouTube and have group discussions on certain issues that could not be discussed in high school.  So I really enjoy that aspect of the class.  Unfortunately, we do get alot more work than I expected such as a 1500 word paper (and that's not even the biggest one this semester), but wer get to write about a politcal cartoon or a particular advertisement that draws people attention.  So that somewhat eases the load a bit because we're writing about something that we're interested in.  I've only been in this class for about two and half weeks so far, but I am actually looking forward to the rest of the semester and seeing what else there is in store for us to do.
