Week 1: Complete

Unworrying is a lot a more fun than worrying.  Mr. H provided a clear concise review in AP Chemistry, and so I unworried.  AP Lit was unworrying because I've had Mr. D before.  And Children's Theater with Mrs. H?  Well how could that be worrying?

The two books I read over the summer for AP Literature are Brave New World and Great Expectations.  Brave New World has lead to some fascinating conversations.  We discussed a quote, something like "Utopias, or non-utopias, indirectly examine the world of today."  At least half the class had something meaningful to say, a very good experience.  Mr. D is making a blog, which will have daily read and response assignments.  Of course, that's assuming Mr. D can figure out how.  An invite-only blog friendly to class discussions isn't that simple, and Blogger requires every student to have a Google account.

I met with the Drama board today to discuss meetings, mixers, and events.  However, our two big state-wide theater events conflict with MORP and Prom.  I also checked out a script for the AUDITIONS Tuesday and Wednesday.  I'm very excited about the fall drama.   It provides such a great learning experience.
