Ms. Jones

So, on top of having a broken ankle I am getting sick. I don't think I will be able to go to school tomorrow and I don't know what to do about it. I still have a test I need to make up...

Elephants

Ms. Jones I can't stop thinking about what we were talking about in class the other day; about the elephant killers! I'm so upset. I wish we could skip it.

Tonights homework

Hey, I was staying at my dads this past week and left my english book at my house and I have no way of getting it by tonight. What should I do?

Okay, just made this connection. In looney toons (in many cartoon's actually). Whenever someone got hit really hard, or was just really stupid, they would pose questions to George. Ex. "which way did he go George?" I don't know maybe I'm doing a bad job explaining this. But I think it may have some correlation with Of Mice and Men and Lenn. I don't know, probaly explain it better tomorow.

hiiiii everybody, today was my first day of school SO much different..each student is given a macbook :D and my english class is really serious, too serious..we're reading The Things They Carried and i basically have to finish it in one day, ever read it?

miss you guys!

oh yeah, PS the inventor of sparknotes went to this school, he's my hero

These are the questions I would like to address tomorrow. (if we haven't already touched on them). Just a heads up so you can mull them over tonight/tomorrow and hopefully we can have a wonderful discussion.

Ms. Jones

I was wondering, if when school started again, if you would mind if i started eating lunch in your room. I was just wondering if i could so i could have a calm and quiet place to read and write for 30 minutes. But if not, i understand.
