Proust Blog

Well, on the first day of class, Ms. Sturgeon gave us a list of random questions that we needed to answer that were about our views and somewhat on a personal level. This was a very fun way to get to know my other classmates and better than the usual questions we ask when we are introducing each person to one another. In my opinion, they are better because you get to know the person a little better, than just seeing what's on the surface. So, I am going to blog about the questions on the paper and tell you what I answered. Here it goes!

These questions were fun to answer and I hope all the homework from this class is this fun to do. I actually couldn't wait to do it. Especially subscribe to this blogger.com thing. Maybe its because I missed being in school because I was bored all day until I went to work. But I loved this activity and I can't wait for more of this class. Thank you Ms. Sturgeon for making homework fun.
