The Infinite Stories of English House
Here are some of the stories you all told about English House:
Pink Notecards:
1The room is large and pale yellow – projector, chairs, bodies, screen, the cosmos, bright, warm, cookies, people writing, clementines, up the stairs, out the door, sounds of laughter from another classroom, sounds of laughter from our classroom, sneeze, bless you!
2There are cookies which taste good, sticking to my napkin and my fingers. Tiny chocolate stains I wipe away, transfer from skin to paper. Crumbs crushed in the creases, balled into my fist as I lick my lips.

Evolution in the mind of others?
For my final presentation last Thursday, I showed an interview clip with a Haverford College Chemistry major. My thoughts before conducting this interview was to compare how I view evolution now and how someone outside the class would. I asked him five questions which were questions we had pondered and discussed aloud in class.
Questions Asked
1. What are the first 3 words that come into mind when u think of evolution?

Final Presentation: Catagories
To begin with I was both certain and uncertain of what I wanted to do for my final presentation. I had decided right off that I didn't want to just do a basic presentation, figuring that the class (and myself) would appreciate something more interesting, and almost immediately, my mind was cast back (though I don't know why...) to an eleventh grade english class that had made quite an impact on me. We had been reading The Handmaid's Tale, a novel that was known for its strange uncertainty of chronology, and my teacher had handed my class a bunch of excerpts from the book and asked us to put them in the right order.
