My last English experience was kind of a joke, but it was probably my favorite class. My teacher, Mr. Wood, was the man. He was an old teacher who refused to dress up for class, and always showed up in sweat pants and a tee-shirt. He never taught for more than 20 minutes out of the 40 minute period. Mr. Wood loved movies and would show us one at every chance he had. One time we read a page about King Arthur and he then proceeded to show us three full length movies about King Arthur. The class was also extremely easy. To not get an A in the class you had to be kind of dumb. He always let us make up any test by writing one page about anything we wanted. I come from a pretty typical family. I have a mom and a dad and two younger brothers, nothing out of the ordinary. When I came home for break I was treated virtually the same. Break for me was very chilled but fun at the same time. Since I room with three of my friends from high school, I always had people to hang out with for the first three weeks. After the initial three weeks break became even better, and I got to see a lot of friends who I hadn't seen in months. I was definitely excited to get back to Athens though. I really like being at OU and being in college in general. What I hope to get out of this class is an A. I would also like to become a better writer as well. So far it seems like this will be a good class that I will be able to enjoy.
