Tuesday: Poem day :)
In class our teacher Mrs. Sadler had us go to different websites to write poems. I liked one of them that was shaped in a hear & i wrote the poem, "The first time I saw you, I knew it was true. That i'd love you forever, & that's what ill do. You know what you do to me, you dont have a clue. You dont know what it's like to be me looking at you." I like that poem because that is how i really feel about my boyfriend Eric.

Dear Juliet,

First day of Romeo & Juliet
When Mrs. Sadler, (our english teacher) told the class we were reading the play, "Romeo & Juliet", I was not looking forward to reading. It just sounded boring, & not interesting to me. She gave us characters to be so we read what they say,. That made it fun then just listening to her read all hour.
