the day was sept 13, 2006

... and i, aline, began the class with a blog entry from Catch-22. After a few jumbles of here and there, I handed over the attention to Mrs. Hillestad. We talked about college: searching for colleges, what colleges may require, dealing with large population, small population, etc... On that day, our 1st draft personal profile were due. We traded profiles, and edited each other's profiles. We learned about the aesthetics of a form-- how to balance the compostion of words, to use space wisely, change fonts to reveal the importance of a word, etc.... Then, we made a circle of desks, and discussed openly about our summer books, Jane Eyre and Crime and Punishment. All I heard was a noise of reverant opinions clashing against each other... Bell rings, and we come back after lunch to pick up the book, The Stranger... By next class, we should have part 1 read.
