APEnglish–Los Al

I do not know if bajillion is an actual quantity, but it is an actual quality concept. Number-creation aside, today was a Monday, which means people wore Monday clothes, looked with Monday eyes, and longed for a week of more Weekends. It is curious to note how we long and dread the beginnings and ends of things.

Time for a more serious start. After an anticlimatic lull in activity, class began with quote analysis and interpretation. Today’s quote, if you are so insanely interested in English to care, was the-Greek-guy-who-is-not-Achilles’ opinion on the cause of all human action, which was one or more of the following: reason, habit, chance, compulsion, desire, and _______. Sorry folks, my memory banks have gone bankrupt on this subject. ASk a classmate with hair on their head if you want to know the rest of the quote.

The next activity did not involve Chihuahuas. I hope I spelled that wright. Jonathan Not-The-Two-In-Our-Class Swift wrote a satire on the concept of eating all poor people’s kids in Ireland. Yes, it was a satire. No, it was not written as a guide to any wannabe man eaters in Poland, because there aren’t many people who eat other people anymore (that I know of). We were only given the packet, we didn’t go over it…it is for homework.

Then we went over the OUTLINES we wrote this weekend. We being the class. Wrote meaning ‘past tense participle of write’. The outline was on the packet that dealt with various perspectives on advertising’s effect on society (correct me if I got that wrong).

I had strawberries in/on oatmeal, cottage cheese and waffles. I do not recommend it. And, please correct me, but I shouldn’t write the extra credit answer on here, especially because I do not know the answer. Two Greek letters that when phonetically flipped makes a genre found in a bookstore? Sounds like gobbledygook to me. Yes, I just wrote that. Well, the brief energy boost is wearing off, so I hope I bored you less that I informed you. And remember to separate tags with separate multiple tags with commas: cats, pet food, dogs.
