English Composition

"Writing is the hardest work in the world not involving heavy lifting." - Pete Hamill

English Composition
Tuesday
6:30pm - 9:45pm
Professor Theodore Brett

English is my least favorite subject simply because I struggle in composition. It is probably the most difficult subject to pass this fall semester. Piano requires practice, Chemistry requires memorization, Conversational Spanish requires memorization, practice and immersion, Anatomy requires memorization, drawing skills, dissecting a cadaver, English Composition on the other hand requires me to squeeze my brain out until I make a good composition (which takes me about 6 - 8 hours to write something out. Plus there are gazillion rules in writing).

Why did I took this Subject? Coz it is a preReq for RN Course

The Professor: To tell you honestly, the first 10 minutes of the class, I wanted to drop the section and change professor. Sitting on Brett's class was like watching a show in a comedy bar where they make fun of you. I was intimidated and scared that he might make fun out of me. But I was acclimated after a while and find my self laughing at his jokes. I guess this is just his way to make sure students stay awake while he teaches. Believe me, the teacher can punch 1000 jokes in a minute.

Then he took out his book, Punning For You Life, which made me think that there are a lot of things this teacher can share and learn from. Why not? He was able to publish a book which makes him a a more legit English teacher. (writing a book and being publish is a credential, isnt it? haha) I'm just saying that because there are some English teacher who would say, "I dont know. Im not a real English teacher."


I guess I just have to put my game face on when I attend this class and make my skin thick coz If I dont Im gonna be eaten alive.
