I'm thankful for a classmate...

I'd like to start out by saying that I'm very thankful for this whole class and all of my peers in it. It's been a fun first three months of the year.

But I am especially thankful for one of my classmates, and that is Jennifer Pang. She has been a great peer editor for all of my writing throughout the year, and while I don't always agree with what she says, I think she has helped my work develop. I thank her for all of her comments, suggestions and ideas. They've really been a big help. Additionally, she is a great writer herself. I have never struggled to learn things from her writing.

She is also a great group member. She makes group works more fun and always shares great insights on the readings we're discussing. It has been a lot of fun to work with Jennifer throughout the year in English II.

We don't share any other classes, but we do see each other on the math team. Having her on the math team is a lot of fun. She brings a lot of energy to the team and is always ready with a joke.

Finally, it's nice to have someone like Jennifer who will always remind me what our English homework was if I happen to forget.

Thanks Jennifer!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Song of Myself

I celebrate myself, and sing myself, despite my lack of vocal talent.
Perhaps writing a song would be a better idea than singing one.
For every atom belonging to me cannot sing.

I loaf and invite my soul, at least for the first part of this long weekend.
I lean and loaf my soul at ease, putting this blog off until now.
School in abeyance, but work continuing.
Ceasing not until death.

Or perhaps until summer vacation.
Do I contradict myself?
Very well then I contradict myself.
(I am large, I contain multitudes.)

The last scud of the day brings snow.
It flings its whiteness after the rest and true as any on the shadow'd city,
It coaxes me to the indoors.

I stop somewhere with this parody (I suppose you could call it a parody. I don't know. What would you call it? (Comment honestly, everyone else hears you, and I check only a bit longer.)), so I might as well stop here.

Anyways...I have absolutely no clue what to write about, hence my interlude.
I celebrate myself for having straight A's in the first quarter, I suppose? And having a good first quarter of math team? And not falling too horribly behind on work (for the most part)?

I celebrate myself for accidentally freezing up my computer right now. Thankfully I didn't lose my work (save draft is your friend, people). I celebrate myself for remembering to save draft.

I celebrate myself for being one of the first in our class to finish this blog. So if it's not following the requirements, sorry.

And if this blog doesn't make any sense, that's fine. I too am untranslatable. You will hardly know what I mean (because I barely do), but I shall be good health to you nevertheless. Or hopefully at least a good read.
(But seriously, if this doesn't make any sense, check out the excerpt from Song of Myself. I celebrate myself for being able to blend that into this blog.)
