Since we all had such a great day on St. Patrick's Day, I thought everyone should know a wee more. As a former Irish Dancer (don't let the former fool ya, it was 9 years of my life) I would love to spread the green love all over our Lit class.

ENJOY :)

I would like to say thank you to everyone who said something about my painting. I was happy to receive such a great response.

My Sandwich

By: Audrey Mays

I don’t like crust

But stuck with the ends

No clean knives

In the sink it descends

Sticky rim on the jelly

For at the bottom it lays

Now my hand is a mess

Obviously not my fortes

Adding peanut butter now

Nearing sandwich completion

Not cut in triangles

This fruity square burden

As it touches my lips

I recall why I enjoy

This simple sandwich I hold

Begins a memorial convoy

Childhood memories

Recalled in my head

Of afternoon playtime

And this smooth nutty spread

With milk as its pair

It neither formal nor strict

My sandwich is done

So my fingers I licked

Although Literature is my favorite class (DUH!) I have found my love of Shakespeare in my Theater class this quarter. Before it was just hard-to-understand old English writing that had somehow become famous. Although I had to read different stories throughout my years, I never truly appreciated it until now. I actually cried while reading Hamlet. Ophelia's death was the saddest thing I had heard in a long time. I am now reading the tempest because that movie trailer looked amazing. YAY Julie Taymor! I feel better having truly found a love and an appreciation for Shakespeare.

I love to read. Although I should note that I pick up a cook book more than any other book. hahaha.

I also love to write. Now don't get the wrong idea, I don't have enough creativity in my body to write an award winning novel. I do, however, enjoy writing essays or maybe short stories. If anyone has some great books to recommend I would be more than happy to check it out. I read a little bit of everything :D.

Welcome Everyone!
