Photo Essay

Off topic: Once I start blogging I can't stop. 3rd post this evening.

For a final essay of the school year Mr. Ayers is allowing us to do a little more when it comes to our essays. I am excited. There is no other way to describe it. I was never much of a writer, but all the writing I've had to do with year, has made me addicted to it. I probably have not improved much, but I have, however, learned to enjoy and look forward to the process. I have become more interested in the evolution of language (more than I already have been). Because I've had to type out papers I've become more interested in in typography and text layout. This this class has made me, a math nerd, enjoy and look forward to writing. I never though it possible.

Well, that was an unneeded tangent, but anyway. My essay. I plan to do a photo essay, on the day of a volunteer firefighter / paramedic. I will follow my father and his guy's around for a day. Taking notes and pictures. This will probably happen sometime next week.

After I skip school to invade the lives of the employees of the city of Hiawatha I hope my essay will be 500 - 1000 word with pictures from that day. I don;t know how it will turn out but it'll be an experience I wouldn't pass up.
