Goals and Expectations

     My expectations for this class are pretty straight forward. First, I expect to have a lot of fun in this class over the course of the year. English has always been one of my favorite classes, and I don't see any reason why this year would be any different. I've always enjoyed reading. I'll read just about anything and I will see it as a worthwhile experience. When I read, I imagine the chapters like scenes of a movie. It's my own personal theater in my head. That's what makes reading so enjoyable for me. I'm especially looking forward to reading Lord of the Flies. I've been told by several people that it is an amazing book. However, where I am enthusiastic about reading, the same can't be said for writing. That is something I hope to address with my goals.
     I've already accomplished my first goal: try something new as a writer. I've never had a blog before, so this is a new experience for me. My second goal: make writing more enjoyable. I've almost always looked at writing as a somewhat boring activity. This year, I hope to change my mind in regards to that subject. I'm confident this class will give me the opportunity to do just that.
