That's the new word for the day. I learned it in my English Comp 1 class. It's when you apply personification to animals specifically.
Yeah, so I started school again after taking a year off. I'm only taking two classes due to my hectic work schedule. I'm starting full time at Dunkin/Baskin and training as a shift manager now. I will only be working at the theater 1 day a week now. Which is cool because I can enjoy the full benefits of being an employee without really working there. HAHAHAHA! (evil laugh).
I'm taking the most elementary math class you can possibly take. Our first lesson included us learning what a whole number is. I don't feel so bad because there are like 40 year olds in there. I just keep thinking "How do you do your taxes?!" Recently we moved onto bigger and better things, such as fractions!
My English class is the best though. My teacher reminds me of a hippie, or maybe a laid back method actor. We're learning about descriptive writing: hyperboles, metaphors, similes, analogies, personification, oxymorons. Our first assignment has to be a paper with all that stuff in it. We have to do in class writing where write our own examples of those things. Then she makes us share. Which I hate. I'm very competitive and quite shy. I'll post my examples next entry, they're pretty good if I do say so myself.
Not much else going on. Bracing for the next hurricane. I was so lucky with the last one, no damage. When I came home though (I'd been at Leo's) there was a big ass branch where my car would have been.
