Top Ten Things I Learned In Shakespeare

1.)    Shakespeare is understandable
-          I now don’t cringe at the thought of having to read what Shakespeare has been writing. This class has given me a better understanding of how to interpret his language.
2.)    Jacob has a really good girl voice
-          Although I can’t remember what play we were reading when Jacob spoke like a girl, I can remember that it was really good. Never have a I heard such a high pitched, squeaky girl voice like that before come from a guy, except for Garrett’s, but his was a bit deeper.
3.)    Shakespeare was a pervert
-          No explanation needed.
4.)    Recitations can be fun
-          Recitations can be fun as long as costumes from the 80’s and Justin Beiber are involved. The fear of speaking a language from the 16th century is still there, but it’s a little less nerve wracking with a friend (Lindi) and props so the attention is not directed only upon you.
5.)    Cooking
-          I learned that no matter how hard I try, I still have no cooking ability. My semester project has only made me more aware that I will probably never get married because I don’t have any skill in the kitchen.
6.)    Blogging is a challenge
-          There was one time this semester when I achieved a 50/50 on a blog, and that was probably one of the best days ever.
7.)    Sojin Josephson is an over achiever
-          No explanation needed.
8.)    Dance Parties
-          Dance parties are awesome, because that is the only class we have ever done a dance party in. However, it would be more fun if everyone participated.
9.)    Comedies are way better than tragedies
-          MSND was such a good play because there was a lot of laughing and tricks. Unlike Othello and Hamlet which were both not that funny and were also kind of creepy.
     10.) English can be fun
                  -    My least favorite school topic, English, turned out being one of my favorite classes and it will
                       be greatly missed next semester.
