Class is still in session

An update on my schooling experience...

Recently Mr. DeSalvo (my English teacher) assigned my class a slightly different assignment. We were to find a leaf and connect with it. We are to answer some questions provided by our teacher. Were also suppose to connect with our leaf.

Now I know this is suppose to expand our boundaries and open up our thinking but I'm having a little trouble connecting with my leaf.

Maybe I'm not spending enough time with my leaf.

Any ideas?

Then on Thursday I met with the career counselor at the school to help me figure out what direction I want to go in in my life. I narrowed it down to becoming a teacher but the question is high school or college? I think I would feel more comfortable in the college setting but that means getting my masters.

I guess its back to the books.

Classes

I know Ive gotten behind on my blogging and for that I'm sorry. I hope you forgive me.
But anyway.
My classes have been going pretty good. I'm half way through the quarter. With my Philosophy class Ill be glad when its over. But with my Creative Writing class Ill be a little sad when its over.
We have alot of fun in that class.
The other day in my Philosophy class after we had watched a video my teacher asked if anyone had any 'smart questions'. Teachers can make my day.

He should win teacher of the year.

The title of this blog is farther from the truth.
Went into class and turned in my paper that was due. Nothing seemed unusual or different about today.
As I waited for Mr. Dick (not actually his name but I think it fits him, real name: Mr. Dickey) to start the class I did my daily puzzles out of the newspaper.
Then the rest of the class slowly started to walk in alot of them late. And most not having their assignment completely done.
When he felt there were enough students in the room he started the lecture.
This was no ordinary lecture this was him telling us his disappointment of our grades and how he feels were not doing.
When he was half way through the lecture I wanted to stand up and scream your not my parent, your not paying for the class, so please don't lecture me on whether you think I working hard enough in your class or not.
But I didn't. I kept my mouth shut and only spoke when asked a question, which was only once.
He said that non of us were getting the material and he pretty much told us we should just drop out of his class. Well I have been contemplating doing that but I don't like to quite things and my parents would still have to pay for the class if I dropped.
The nice thing he did say was that he would let us take the test again but he also said that even if we got an A- on the first test he would be mad if we didn't take the test again. But he also said the test would be harder. Seriously?
Sadly I did not get an A- or even a C. I got a 52 on my test and am sitting at a D in the class. Not good.
This has probably gotten me to think that I should maybe work a little harder to get a better grade. And it wasn't his lecture that convinced me.
