as of right now, there are 777 page views for this blog

...and that's really great. Just thought I'd share that with you.

I hope class was helpful today. If your introduction is thorough and developed, you will be able to successfully give context for your readers. Well-written introductions are like the first day of spring--so refreshing! Make sure you work on your introduction as you are revising your paper this week. Your second draft (the one you will bring to class on Friday) should be significantly different (thus, better) than your first draft. Make some good revisions.

You don't have any homework due on Wednesday (you're welcome), but it would be a good idea to get started on revisions so you don't save it all until Thursday night. Revisions are--should be--time consuming, so make sure and give them the time they deserve. Pretend your paper is like a pet dog that you know is going to die soon: you will want to spend as much time as possible with it, right?

I hope you enjoyed my similes.

Okay, so your blog post. Click here to link you up to the 56 best/worst similes page we looked at in class, and read through them all because they are deliciously funny. Your job is to create 5 similes/metaphors that beat these. And they have to have something to do with love (yay, Valentine's Day).

Have fun with this.

Also, these are for your enjoyment:


Is this how you feel as a student sometimes? Also, this:


Sherlock Holmes is my valentine.

The end.
