Academic endeavors.

So studying isn't always fun... especially when the pressure of exams and papers really builds up.  But if you think about it, learning is a great thing, and I realize that I've really come to appreciate my education.  I've had some very special teachers along the way, and two that came to mind were Mrs. Twidwell (my third grade teacher) and Mrs. Batchelor (my eighth grade English teacher).  Mrs. Twidwell was just the sweetest old lady, and Mrs. Batchelor was a true inspiration.  Other notables include Ms. Robinette (eleventh grade English) and Ms. Missakian (AP English).  I guess you can see a trend with my affections for English teachers.  There's something about writing that is so intimate, so connective, and so human.  I feel like I grew most as a writer under the guidance of Ms. Missakian.  (She is remembered in missakian street.)  Since being in college I haven't had much opportunity to work on the craft of writing, though I hope to somewhere along the way.

the twidwell-batchelor school is the place for papers, essays, reports, and everything else academic from years past.  I've always wanted to archive my works in a place other than an unreliable floppy disk, so here it is.  Grab a seat in the Wildcat Library or in Providence Hall and get ready for class!

works from english 49, "introduction to shakespeare."  we read all's well that ends well, macbeth, and the comedy of errors, among several others.  the class required three play-specific essays and one final synthesis paper.  overall a good class that helped me to appreciate shakespeare a little more.
