This English class has been a lot of fun. We've done things that usually don't happen in classes at De Anza. We went on a poetry walk, a play, acted out a play, and a trip to the movies. Most of those activities were fun and enjoyable. Made class a lot more fun. Especially the poetry walk where we got to go hiking for english class. Sucked that I was wearing sandals at the time. Of course the expressive weren't fun at all. I didn't know what to write about. But it's near the end of the quarter. All we have is the final. So once we get that done with, we're done with English 1C. A memorable class for the activities you won't be doing in any other class at De Anza.

There has been a lot of speculation of the draft being re-instated ini 2005. I really doubt that it's really going to pass anyways. Politicians at Washington DC don't want their kids to be sent off. Only one of the US senators has a son in the Armed Forces. 1%. No way will it pass or else that percentage will sky rocket up. My view on the War on Terror. I'll support it IF the evidence is there. We were right to go into Afghanistan but i'm not entirely sure about Iraq. But hey, what's done is done. We don't have a time machine to fix all of our problems.

Since I've started De Anza fall quarter, I've been in English 1A, 1B, and 1C honors which fulfills the honors program requirement. I'm a bit concerned about what i'm going to do next year. I don't need english anymore and i really doubt that there will be honors classes for programming, calc 1d, or physics. I really want to stay in the Honors Program, but i'm not going to take a class that i don't even need. My schedule is already packed as it is. So i'm hoping that there will be more COHORT or Honors classes available next year. I'm sure the Honors Program coordinator is reading this because he's the English 1C teacher.

My favorite book that we read this quarter is Maus. Its a book that once you pick it up, you can't put it down. It's short and there are pictures in it. It was fun and enjoyable to read as they depict the Nazis as Cats and the Jews as mice. I read Chabon and that book was so long.... I couldn't believe how long it was and at such a small font. It got boring too. Not a kind of book i really like. Midsummer Nights Dream? Shakespeare*bleh*. Odyssey was enjoyable. All that graphic detail in describing the slaughter of the suitors was interesting. Don't think that was necessary. I think we all know what a slaughter is.

I'm really curious why De Anza ends a week later than the other colleges. I remember UCLA started their spring quarter the same day on April 5th. Somehow everyone is already out for summer vacation except De Anza students. Why is that? Do we have an extra week in our quarter? If we do, why do we have an extra week in our quarter? It's just really getting to me right now since one of my friends who just got back from UCLA is leaving tomorrow before i'm even done with finals. I barely got to see him as well as my friends who had to go back to their UC to attend their summer school. We're all on quarter system, right? Oh well, I doubt that we'll change our quarter schedule anyways.
