may 6th

i believe i missed my turn somehow so i'm just going to pick up with this day..
today laz discussed how the dance marathon didnt get the support that it was supposed to and that he wanted and brought up how basically nobody signed up when they said they would and he's really upset about it.
Then..he gave us our assignment for the short story The Things They Carried. We had to write down a list of everything we were currently carrying on us. That included everything in our wallets, pockets, extra papers in our backpacks, change, everything. Then, we have have to write about a few of the things that have another meaning besides the practical meaning. It should describe the signifcance of those items and how they make us the way we are etc. We can't write about things that we don't carry. It is due next Tuesday. He was generous.
Then we had about five or ten minutes left since it took a long time for everyone to compose their list of what they were carrying so we took questions on the Ben Jonson poem A Song Apologetick. We had very little time to discuss it so we didnt get too in depth with it.
We are continuing onward with the Robert Herrick bio and the two poems following that. We should be prepared for a quiz on the bio and the two poems tomorrow.
