Starting Friday we will be reading the epic poem Beowulf. I have seen the movie and liked it alot, however, I have never read a book that wasn't better than the movie version. I'll like this book I already know. Also, from what I've heard, the book is actually way different in certain main points of the plot than the movie... which I can't elaborate on without spoiling it.

I'm not good with writing just whatever is on my mind. It is much easier for me if I am given a topic. At least then I have a clear subject to think and elaborate on. I've never liked creative writing, which is why I took Tech 4 instead of english. Once i get going though, it seems to all flow out fairly quickly.
It is now the end of January... which means there's only three and a half months... fifteen weeks left of school for me. I am looking forward so much to graduating and moving on from this place. Going into the Marines and actually doing something that interests me and i find FUN for a living. May 18th we graduate... the 31st I ship. All I have to do is coast through the few easy classes I have and try to stay out of trouble.
