what i like about sweeneys class

Sweeney is the greatest english teacher that ive had in all my years of schooling so far. he's 

great yeah sometimes he's goofy but thats what makes him simply amazing. From grammar 

schmammar to clever sporcle games, to essay topics he knows what he's doing. He has truly 

helped me become a better student and a better writer and i never thought in a million years 

that i would love english as much as i do now. I hope in the future that all of my english teachers 


are like sweeney. if i had one critique on his style of teaching i wouoldnt have a single one, he 

relates to all his students no matter what and if thats not what a great teacher does then idk 

what youd define as a great teacher. Thank you for everything sweeney i appreciate it! 

Art Expo at RBC

Today i decided to go to the Richard Bland College Art Expo. Not gonna lie i

i enjoyed myself especially since food was provided lol you know if food is involved i will be there. I cant

pass up free food! But that besides the point the expo was extremely nice, there are some people here at

RBC that has amazing art talent. There's no doubt in my mind that the students who participated in the expo

will have no problems finding a job in art. So many unique designs and culminations were put together, for

example this one girl i forgot her name had different pieces of stained glass up in front of a white poster

board with like a flashlight and on the white poster board appeard the shape she formed the glass to! Of

course most people would have painted something or drew something but the students at the expo didnt just

make paintings. They truly made art

Wicked (beyond class 1)

For my first outside class activity i went and saw the play wicked in Richmond. I'm not 

gonna lie the play was pretty dope, i never thought id like a play that much especially since 

it was  a musical, i normally hate musicals. Just everything about it was cool! Pretty much 

wicked is  an untold story about the wicked witches of oz and it explores the concept that the 

Wicked Witch of the West, here known as Elphaba, is a misunderstood, victimized person 

whose behavior was merely a reaction against a charlatan wizard's corrupt government. It 

also depicts  her relationship with the preppy, popular and ambitious Galinda Upland, who 

ultimately becomes Glinda the Good Witch of the North. All in all it was a good play/musical 

definitely something i would recommend for others to go see. Definitely gonna go see more 

plays in the future. The only thing i didnt like was the fact that it was so much money like 35 

dollars a ticket is highly expensive lol i could have bought me some clothes with that money! 

But nevertheless i still enjoyed myself. 

Last Week

Wow I cant believe that freshman year of college is almost over!! Its truly been a great year in Sweeney's 

English class. From having him for developmental and 101 has been awesome, I wish I had the same class as last semester though but this class was pretty chill as well. I just wish more people participated when we had classroom discussions way to many quiet people in my class this semester. Nevertheless it has still been a fun semester from grammar schmammar, to the class room discussions and even the library scavenger hunt I really enjoyed that very much. But something I liked that sweeney added was the discussion in the beginning of the semester about what our essays would be, that was a really great addition from last semester it gave us all choices to write about interesting things.
