Class Blog #3

To all my bloggers-

So, we are finally getting down to the last couple weeks of school! Everything is getting to be super stressful, except for my Twilight class. If anyone actually reads this that ISN'T classmates or Professor Hodges then I highly recommend taking a class that you are actually interested about. Since I enjoy this class so much, I don't find it a drag to do stuff for it. Maybe the blogs can be a little annoying (no offense), but everything else about the class is just interesting to me. Ever since the first book, Twilight, came out, my friends have always known me as being the "twihard" in our group. But no one ever thought reading and kind of obsessing over the novels would do me any good. Until I enrolled for the Twilight based COMP 2 class. I love that the University of Arkansas offers classes that people actually relate to and enjoy. It might be one of my favorite things about this place. College is supposed to be all about getting an education AND having fun. But, if you don't take any classes that you actually enjoy then you aren't having any fun. And chances are, you probably don't even like the major you are in. People say that college is the best 4+ years of your life. I am just happy that I will someday be able to say that too. 

Sorry about the rant. Unfortunately, I missed class on Monday due to an unexpected illness. However, classmates told me that all we did was finish up talking about "Carmilla" and started analyzing "Dracula." I have been pretty excited to start up Dracula, because for project number 3, I talked a little about the mysterious man himself. It was hard to talk about him being a Bryonic hero because I never actually read the book. But in the end, everyone knows a little something about the all-famous Dracula. Wether you heard about him from a scary story your older siblings tried to scare you with (like me), or you just randomly heard Dracula come up while you were growing up. Either way, EVERYONE has heard about Dracula. Now I can say, or can later say, that I actually read the book! We are supposed to read up to chapter 15 by Monday so hopefully for my next blog I'll have tons of scary Dracula stories to share! 

Until then,

Haley
