English... Eh.

Throughout my life, I have never enjoyed English class. I don’t like writing, especially when I feel it is extremely pointless. All throughout my school years, I’ve felt as though English assignments were simply given to see how well you write, not in order for you to express your ideas. I didn’t mind writing for a class like history or contemporary issues, but writing about a topic like “Why I don’t like homework” was never appealing to me.

In English 101 we’ve had much more interesting readings than in the past. The discussion topics and readings aren’t strictly famous literature, so I can relate to them much more. Despite this I still find writing a chore. I enjoy writing blogs much more than long research papers, but writing is still not fun to me. I do feel like I'm learning a lot from English this year. It's connecting more to real life than in previous years where we just studied historic literature. Although this is the best English class I've had yet, I still cannot wait until I never have to take an English class again.
