I'm still not sure how this thing works...

Did you get my email Mrs. Moon? I had the stuff today and completely forgot during class, and then remembered when I got home from school. Ha. I'll talk to you about it before class starts tomorrow.

Assingment #1--Introduce Yourself

For your first assignment, you need to introduce yourself to the class. I know that many of you know each other, but I only know a few of you, and it never hurts to get to know your classmates better!

So, respond to this post with a little bit of info about yourself. You can tell us about your college plans, an interesting talent you possess, your pets, extracurricular activities, etc. Whatever you want!

Remember, no "text speak," use correct grammar, and no negative comments!

Here are a few things about me:
1. I was born near Chicago, IL and moved to NC when I was in the 8th grade.
2. My favorite book is Siddhartha. I have read it probably 10 times!
3. I have a 2 year old niece named Lila Grace.
4. I have 2 cats--Castor & Little Kitty.

OK, now your turn. Post a comment!
