Essay postage analysis

I think I did okay on the essay today. I didn't do great . It was short and lacking a lot of meat. I just kind of did it just to do it quick. I didn't put my best effort in and I'm not sure I got the theme of the book right. I could be wrong though. In any case I think I'd give myself a C or a B if I was feeling generous. Or a D. Either one. I deserve what I get. Next time I'll study the book more than just skimming through it to get the jist of it so I don't look dumb when Preston asks us questions.

The time of my life.

In the 35 minutes we had Derek, Josh, and I all recorded our songs we had to memorize on my iPod. Sadly I couldn't email them the videos because the iPod only sends 15 second videos through email and the videos we took varied from 2-5 minutes. I do have all 3 of our videos on my iPod if dr. Preston does need to see them but I don't know how to post it on blogger
