I can't believe this year has come to an end. Junior High, and this online class are basically over, and it's bittersweet. I've liked reading some of your blogs, and I hope a few of you saw mine. This class was pretty easy for the most part, but on top of regular English it was sometimes a lot. Reading Great Expectations was by far the worst, but I'm glad I got a taste of Dickens.My favorite assignment was the essay comparing Bradbury's styles from the Fahrenheit 451 and a book of choice. I chose Dandelion Wine and really liked it. Knowing how to write good persuasive, research, and especially compare/contrast essays will help a lot in High School. My friend is in Honors World Civ. and they write essays at least once a week that have to have supported evidence, and correct grammar, spelling, etc. I'm glad I took Honors English and I learned so much. I hope next years' Honors English will be as good! (Wait, Of course it will; it's at Davis!:)
Man, the first day was amazing! I don't have class until 9:30, then I walked over (super easy, short walk) and found my modern class easily. We went over questions and syllabus today so no dancing. I really love the faculty and I'm so glad I got to go to workshops here in high school so I'm a little familiar with the program. Then I had technique 2, and we did one across the floor. The two teachers said "okay, we have some people we want to move up to Tech 3 right now...Golda..." I was so happy! Placement happens throughout the week, but I was so happy to get moved up right away! So now I'm in pointe 3 too. I feel so grateful to be able to dance 9:30 to 2:30 every.day. !!!! I didn't get into my first institute class, so I read all the emails from my missionary friends. Mondays are a whole lot better with those! :) My colloquium class was good, then I met up with my roommate who was hanging out with 2 RMs. We went to play ping pong before another Freshman...
