Soo Much College
Last year in high school I was enrolled in a college English course. The class was very tough if you didn’t keep up with the reading, and often times the teacher would ask very specific questions about the text so that he could get a feel for which students actually were keeping up with the homework. The teacher was Fr. Gilsdorf, an eighty-three year old priest, who has been teaching for over fifty years. He is very passionate about English and helping his students grow in their knowledge. On top of all this I was well acquainted with him, and he often sought my help for answers.
For most of the year I was up to date on reading and ready for class, but somewhere in the middle of the year I started to fall behind. Many things were going against me at that point: I had been his go to guy for a semester, I was a friend, and now I had no idea what any of the stories were about. In order to avoid embarrassment and humiliation I attempted typical high school ways to avoid class participation. The method I used most often to avoid the teacher was the classic strategy of evading eye contact. During any time in class when the teacher was asking questions about the text, I would bury my head in my book and put my hand over my face. The next method of avoiding questions was to rummage through my back pack during silences in class. At any point during discussion when Fr. Gilsdorf looked for a volunteer, I would dive waist deep in my backpack, appearing too busy to help out. Finally, if my first two methods failed me and I was called upon, I would openly admit I hadn’t the slightest clue, in hope that he would not call on me in the next situation.
These schemes worked very well for me. There were usually enough people in class with the guts to look him in the eyes and answer, “why did Willy Loman of Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman commit suicide?” (to save his dignity). Seldom did I have to stammer out a fake answer, compiled of information I had collected from classmates, about last night’s reading. Overall I was pleased with my results, and I would recommend these strategies to anyone else who forgot to read their homework; but more so I would recommend just reading the homework instead.
I hope you didn't waste your time reading all that but if you did you read an A+ paper.

GOOOO PACKERS!!!!!
Wow was that ever an exciting game. We had a huge party in the basement with over a hundred people watching a projection screen, and then the second half we spent playing ping-pong and watching the Packers! Does it get any better!!!!!!!!!? Oh I'm just glad that Aaron Rodgers put his boots on right and won the close game, and how about that defense putting together a game finishing drive. I'm just a little excited.
Anypoo, my day, while it was a good one. Started off with a beautiful mass at 11:15 followed by a picnic with brats and burgers and hot dogs, which reminds me i had two burgers, and four hott dogs today. Anypoo, number two, we got free bags of goodies, and a free t-shirt which bring my total to two free college shirts. After the picnic we came home and tried to do homework. I managed a eighty percent on my first bio quiz online, and a hundred on my microscope quiz, ignoring the fact that i could take it an infinite amount of times.
I need to not skype and blog at the same time i forget what i was saying. So like i was saying last night i was finally able to communicate with my great friend Joehannah, and my little bro with a fat ear John. I was very funny, and then joe and i stayed up till like two talking about boys, and new clothes. It was awesome.
My dad is apparently reading this now, and so HELLO to you father, and anyone else, i hope you enjoy my life stories, i'll try to keep you entertained, and.
Alright GO PACKERS!!!!
