I've come to the conclusion that it's incredibly difficult to keep up with a blog during the school year...especially when you don't know if anyone is even reading it. This year was particularly difficult, as my school decided that while the Graduation Project was supposed to be a school-wide project, they would just dump it on the English teachers without actually giving us any control over it. As such, I had more than my fair share of really shitty papers to read. There were a couple decent ones, but on the whole, I read a lot of crap this year. I would have posted excerpts of their complete lack of a command of the English language, but to be honest, I wouldn't even know where to start. Several of them amazed me not with their skill with words, but with the fact that someone somewhere saw fit to let them get all the way to Junior year of high school without learning the difference between the words "an" and "and." Another left me speechless by turning in a "rough draft" consisting of just a cover page. An incorrectly formatted cover page, at that.
Perhaps at some point I will be more consistent about writing here, but I won't make any promises. What I might be more motivated to do would be to create a blog of creative writing...but we'll see how things pan out. In the meantime, I'm going to finish getting ready for my wedding and my honeymoon. Those are definitely priorities at the moment.
