A Kind of Magic

Obviously we know what this post is going to be about -- more accurately what song I'm going to basing my thoughts and horrible writing upon. I just ended a sentence in a preposition -- how very English teacher of me!

So, if I had powers of a magical nature then I would definitely find a proofreading spell that helped me write better without any effort. I realized that during high school no one was going to be satisfied with my writing. I look back now and think that I didn't have good English teachers in my high school career, but maybe it was because English just didn't come as easy as math or science classes did. I remember being in class and having to explain the significance of a candle in the play "The Crucible". Actually that might not even be the play -- there is also the possibility that it was "Macbeth". Heavens knows that I didn't really pay that much attention in class.

Anyways, English class was the only class that I ever got a B in while I was in high school. And I think that was only my Junior year. Anyways, I still got into a great university. Therefore I subjected many professors to my horrible, unpolished, lackluster fiction. I use the word fiction because I really never researched anything, but just tried to write down a few sentences and then go into a reading pull a few quotes out that I thought would support a sentence I had used. Magic would have been nice to have or a boyfriend that wasn't clingy. Maybe that's what my second potion would have been.

A love potion that found non-clingy gay boys. And now I'm an English teacher in South Korea!!! I've learned more here than I ever knew before of English! Queen has never failed me, but I am pretty certain that a career in wizardry or witchcraft would have.
