HW: RJ 12.3 15-20 pages

Hi this is my first blog I'm not sure what to talk about. I guess I'll write about happens in class so nakada is talking about some thing we have to create a account for not sure what it was now she is talking about word count on the ywp.nanowrimo.org site. She said something about free copies of our books or something. Someone said if there is gonna be internet when we write our novels -.- You don't need internet for microsoft word #tweeting in class :D 

Now we are going over our Shakespeare notes. She says we should know what the characters want, the setting and conflict. Now we're talking about marraige laws. Everybody is talking and yelling for for a computer and we're still talking about Shakespeare. Oh god, there is a test tomorrow about the book great prople are talking again just added the agenda now she is talking about what we need to know for the test tomorrow. I'm gonna ad a picture to my blog, everybody. I'm not gonna put my face. Everybody's already seen that. Because I'm pumped for the novel writing I'm going to put a pic of one of the main characters for my story. The internet here is so slow finally :D

There we go now back to blogging. Ms. Nakada is talking about writing partners. Wait, if it's your novel shouldn't it be done by yourself? [Yes, Tom. Your partner supports you.] Now we're talking about word count goals. 10k is the lowest that you can go so I say 15k I'm so going to fail. 15 mins left in class. If anyone reads this blog tell me what you think about my character art in the comments. Please don't be rude. It takes time to draw. It says adventure game on the bottom because my book is based on a game I help develop. If you want to play you need a roblox account. I'll put a link. The internet is still slow and of course failed to open -.-

There we go. Wow, it's a restricted website thats not nice. Roblox is safe. Now it is quiet. As the final minites of 5th period tick away and now I'm just sitting here thinking about my novel. The kid behind me says its the worst blog he has seen. Thanks for the support .

Today in Miss Nakada's class I prayed that she wouldn't choose me but here I am. Miss Nakada said she would make the class read some of the book A Midsummer Night's Dream. I wanted to read too :(. She asked that everyone would read a line. Trying to do this with Karon bugging me for the tape. Miss Nakada asked if we see words in the book we don't understand and some people told her and she explained it to them. She asked Christian to read and his lady voice chipped in smh. She wanted to make sure everyone understood Shakespeare. I don't understand half of what they say. Why can't they just say what's on their mind. We played a game. We would throw a duck and whoever catches it has to read their line. Class is over now so lates.
