Haha! I love English class! That class i mean honestly i just can't htink of anything funnier and more brutal! We're studying revolution now and forms of protest. Lately we've been going over protest in the form of song and i just heard some of the best songs lately and my class came to the best conclusion today! Ya know that song by Woddie Guthrie "This Land is my Land"
This land is your land, this land is my land
From California, to the New York Island
From the redwood forest, to the gulf stream waters
This land was made for you and me
SHEER COMMUNISM!!!!!!!!!
lol! Sound stupid but as soon as we heard the lyrics Jonesy was like "communist bastard!" and McLaughlin looked straight at him and siad and i quote "EXACTLY!" lol! We all cracked up! McLaughlin explained how like the communistic message is overshadowed by the message of "american unity". lol! It was just funny!! Like these songs that evreyone loves McLaughlin is ripping them apart!! He's just so down right serious and straight forward just like this is how it is, if you don't like it tough. oh btw sorryif this offends you! lol! But i love that class! oh and there was this other song!
The kind people
Have a wonderful dream
Margaret On The Guillotine
Cause people like you
Make me feel so tired
When will you die ?
When will you die ?
When will you die ?
When will you die ?
When will you die ?
And people like you
Make me feel so old inside
Please die
And kind people
Do not shelter this dream
Make it real
Make the dream real
Make the dream real
Make it real
Make the dream real
Make it real
That song! MY GOD! lol! It's kinda harsh i mean it's ok until you get ot he "please die" and "make the dream real" parts! But ya know what, i liked it! Everyone in our class liked it! And apprently Margaret Thatcher was a real bitch! From what weve heard at least and apprently others think that too. But just these protest songs they're so great! This other one we listened to mentioned that the guy wanted to live long enough to see her die so he can stand over her grave and stomp the dirt down to make sure she neevr comes back! lol! I reall am loving english this year just cause of the fact ath we're being exposed to things other teachers have been afraid to teach us! I'm definately glad i took honors! And i guess i like it too because my friends are in it! Like i sit in front of my friend Andrew and randomly he'll hit me in the back and just be like "HEY!!!" and scare the crap out of me so i jump and i look like an idiot but i'm really not expecting a giant slap on the back. And Jonesy sits near me and Kristin in front of me and Jared next to me and Lauren near me and it's just great i feel comfortable in that class. Ok i realized this, i tend to be really shy around people i dont' really know all that well. I mean especially in 2 of my classes, communications 3 and trig. I just sit there and am really quiet and it seems like i'm shy and reserved and don't have much to say. In actuallity i do i just i don't know ig uess i just don't feel that comfortable. i like the classes just everyone already knows each other and it just seems like wha ti say will be so insignificant and it'll just be like intruding almost. I mean i know people who are int hose classes are shocked ot see me in say English if theyhappen to some in during my class cause i'm talking and loud and contributing and arguing with things i don't agree with. I'm no too sure if it's because i'm more comfortable with.
But i know i do that outside of school too. I'm really quiet and people think i'm not having fun or i'm just bored or i'm boring or i just don't have anything ot say. I don't know i just get really shy sometimes. I need to loosen up and hopefully i will sometiems soon because the truth is i have a lot of fun! And i feel bad because i probably don't show it. So i'm sorry if anyone go that impression. I don't mean to send that impression out. So i'm working on that :)
anywayz, besides that nothing else. These are just my thoughts and such so this entry is kinda rambly :0 Take care all!! Oh i got my dress for Jr. Prom and i'm very happy! Table is all set too and it's going ot be a great time YAY! lol! Ok all again take care :)
laterz,
me
