Ugh

            Before the seventh week of class even began I was ready for it to be over and done with. Monday’s class was cancelled because Sweeney came down with a stomach bug. I was unaware of that until I actually showed up to the class and checked my email. Speaking of our email server, I think that the Outlook app for iPhones sucks. Half of the time it takes forever to load once I open it up and sometimes it says that I need an update, which I assume is why I was not notified of Sweeney’s email. But nonetheless, I was still glad to find out that I had one less class to attend on the worst day of the week. During the middle of the week, we finally finished watching The Glass Menagerie which stayed true to Sweeney’s story choices with its obvious weirdness. Even though it was a quirky movie, I was sad to see it end because I enjoy watching movies in class because it’s like a mini break from school. Sweeney had arranged for us to play Jeopardy on Friday, and it was once again like we had a little break. He grouped us off, like he always does, with people that we aren’t fully familiar with. When it was finally time to play, it shortly became apparent to Sweeney that very few of the students had been keeping up with the book as well as we should have been. He eventually dismissed us from class because we clearly weren’t doing the best job of participating.

Happy Valentine's Day

         Valentine’s Day is today and the lack of class this week was quite the early V Day present! Sweeney was sick on Monday so class was cancelled, but I didn’t know that until I got there and checked the email. Even though I still showed up to class I wasn’t too bummed out because I had been at school since around nine that morning. Wednesday was a rough draft day so Sweeney separated the class into groups so that we could talk about our papers and help each other out. I had forgotten to print out my rough draft so I talked about what I had written my paper on and how I had struggled with it. When I got home that day I decided to work on my paper some more but then I ended up changing my paper completely. The winter weather that we’ve been experiencing this year hit us again on Wednesday night, so much that Thursday classes were quickly cancelled. Slushy snow is the worst, so I was rather disappointed with the rainy weather on Thursday. With the help of the cold temperatures, the rain eventually turned to snow and class was cancelled again for Friday! I was so excited to have yet another day off from school.
