Here is some old post I forgot to post, but I am going to now for no reason, it is Kind of Old as You Can Tell.... I am not sure what it even says actually :)

Fourth term! Finally! Well, to be honest I am not sure how excited I am. I love a few classes and don't want my time in them to be almost over, but I also am SO done with some classes. My favorite classes are foods, seminary and english. This seems a little ironic since I have always hated engish. I know what you're thinking, "If you hate english, than WHY are you taking it online too?!" and the answer is because I do that kind of thing. The main reason why I hate english is last year I didn't do well in english (because during one of the terms I decided not to do a huge assignment), and I figured that my grade just meant I sucked at english. Before last year I never liked it though. In seventh I liked the class, but yeah. Before seventh I hated english because in 6th grade I had too much english homework. Ok, I will stop making excuses, don't laugh at me, but I didn't learn to read until I was eight or so. When I was younger than that things were too complicated to do things like read, it's not like I was too lazy or stupid. When I did start to read I was like in second grade, reading kindergarten books. You can see how this might make me kind of embarrassed when I was little, because yes, people do notice. Now I can read, I am not behind and I don't struggle with that, but I have still never loved the actual english class.

Ok, that was kind of a weird story, back to the topic. This year I like english, last semester it was my favorite class by far. This semester I don't really sit by anyone I know, but I still like english. I also like blogging. It isn't a chore like I thought it might be, it is actually kind of fun and relieves stress. It gives you something to do, so you can say you are doing homework, but you are doing something not urgent or stressful (usually).

 This year I was surprised because I liked english from the beginning. I think that it is different this year, and having a teacher that cares has helped a lot. If I don't like something, I will fail at it. This year with the student of the month thing, I don't think Mr. Thompson knows how much it meant to me, because that sort of implies that I am good at writing, which I have never thought of myself as being. It gave me the encouragement that I have needed to do my best in that class and to try stepping out of my comfort zone to do things that I was too scared to do before. In english class it feels like I am part of it, not just observing. I like that I am called on or used as an example sometime, because like I am not really outgoing with that kind of thing. I think that the teacher really makes a difference, because it is just weird how much I have gone from pure hatred and dread to actually enjoyment of the subject. 

I was going to tell you about why I love seminary, but I am getting bored of talking (or typing), so I will keep it short. I love seminary, I love my class, I love my teacher, and I love how unstressed it makes me. I am quiet in some classes, and seminary is one of them, but I am really comfortable there. We were asking questions in class on yesterday and I started a question or comment out with "Hey.. sorry to like take up even more class time with-" but I was interrupted by my seminary teacher telling me NEVER to apologize, and about how good questions were. I get flustered and turn red when attention is drawn to me, but in seminary it doesn't seem to matter because the teacher wants you to ask questions and be brave enough to risk getting something wrong. I love that you never get in trouble in seminary, if I am not doing what I am supposed to be doing then the teacher will not get mad at me, he just assumes it is what is best for me or something. I have only spoken to my teacher a few times, but I am amazed at how open he is and how much he truly cares for everyone. He doesn't just say that he cares about each of us, he shows it and makes everyone feel like they are doing something good. I really look forward to that class everyday.

I like foods, but the only thing strange about that is I am not very compatible with the teacher. I don't like answering questions, but hey, you have to love food right? I also like my table that I sit at, it is very entertaining in class.

Those are my favorite classes, I could go on and on all day about them and about all the stories that relate to them, but for now that is all I have to say.
