No Meeting: January 25

Hello!

I think that as we have exams starting next week, it is going to be useful for us to study during this week. Thus, I'd prefer to cancel this week's meeting and save our energy and ideas for the week after the exams. In this way, we will all be able to have more time to produce something new and truly reflective of our style and ideas and not just try to squeeze inspiration through pressure and limited time.

We will see each other on Monday, February 8.

Have a relaxed/balanced week and successful exams!

Maria

Meeting: January 18

Hi!

We talked about bringing our own work next time, so I'll be glad to see what you've written.

See you next time,

Maria

Meeting: January 11 Photo!

Also, I almost forgot: Pavel Atanassov (12/1) will take a picture of us tomorrow for the yearbook, so you'd better be there (and be pretty :P).

Meeting: January 11

Hi, everyone!

As we haven't had a meeting since the previous year, I have an idea for us to get started in the new year of 2010: for tomorrow, let's all bring a poem that we want to share. I am suggesting poems because they can generally be read more quickly, while a short story would take more time.

So, please bring a favorite poem for tomorrow (or a short prose piece). Also, if you have written anything yourself, feel free to share it too.

See you at 3.15 tomorrow,

Maria

December 14 Meeting

Hi!

Finally, we are going to have our meeting from last time. Read the short story, Iwa, please bring the poems, and if you want to, bring the edited versions of your works. I hope we will have a wonderful Christmas meeting :)

See you tomorrow,

Maria

No December 7 Meeting

I am very sorry I have to cancel a meeting again, but tomorrow the Science Fair projects are being evaluated after school, and as I am presenting, I would have to miss the meeting of our club. Thus, I think we should leave the edited versions of our works for next time.

Also, for next time, we could read the following short story:
J. D. Salinger - "A Perfect Day for Bananafish"


Iwa, please give us a link to the poems you brought last time.

Once again, sorry for canceling the meeting tomorrow.

Bye for now,

Maria

NO NOVEMBER 23 MEETING

Hello, everyone!

I am sorry, but I don't think we will be able to have a meeting tomorrow. I was invited to an interview with a representative from Brown University, and as this is vital for my application, I will attend it. It is going to take place tomorrow after school, so I would have to miss our meeting. This may sound selfish =), but I really don't want to miss a meeting when we read our own works, so I think we should leave this task for our next meeting, November 30.

This means we will have two weeks for our writing, so we can edit what we have written and present it when it is even better. I am curious to hear what we have all written, and I hope you are too. So let's have our meeting next time!

I hope no one's mad at me because she wanted to share her amazing work with the world as quickly as possible =)

P.S. Take a look at my pet Sheep with my new Awesome Hat (the photo's name is "Best Sheep Ever"):


Except for the Exceptional Sheep, there are two intriguing details: first, that's my agenda; see the long description of a homework? Guess what class it is for? Tip: English, teacher's initials are G.G. (let's reserve some anonymity though). And second, see the sheets below the Sheep? Cons actually guessed the poem they are from :D (He's in my English class).
