"The Last Post" ps. I played that piece at the Remembrance Day Assembly, if you remember!!!

Hello,

I would just like to say that overall the course was very manageable. Take it from a guy that had two classes during the Writer's Craft period. Anyone that says that the course had too much work or whatever just has really bad time management skills. I also liked how you told us when everything would be due on the first day of class (or one of the first days... I forget). It allowed me to figure out when I would be busy or when I could expect a lot of work. I don't know if I could use the word "fun" (as you do) to describe this course, but it wasn't a bad course!

I am very confused about the "last blog entry" thing, though. When you said "blog entry" I thought you meant to post something on our blogs. However, all of my classmates have posted theirs on here and so I guess I should do the same. Here goes nothing...

Dear Ms. Hyde,

Hello. How are you? I hope you are doing well. It is never a fun thing to hear about someone that is not doing well! How am I, you ask? Well, I am fine thank you. I am actually supposed to be studying for Geography right now. However, I just remembered that I had to do this last blog. It wouldn't make a lot of sense to not do this blog since I managed to do every other blog! You managed to do every other blog, you ask? Why, yes I have! Not only did I have two courses to balance during the Writer's Craft period, but I managed to do so quite well, writing most of my blogs the day they were assigned and eons before some of my classmates wrote theirs (I hope this is not a run-on sentence, a problem I learned to correct from your wonderful and appreciated guidance). Hey, did you hear about the Tiger that was supposed to be in downtown Hamilton! It turned out that it was just a big advertisement scheme. If we compare this scheme to other schemes, we would find that this scheme was indeed the most "schemey". I am so glad that you taught me how to do compare/contrast essays or else I wouldn't know how to compare schemes! Wow, look at all the neat-o skills I learned from Writer's Craft! It is as if I took all of the lessons I learned to heart and managed to turn them into meaningful skills! What a great guy I am! I think that I deserve a great prize for my efforts! Perhaps the highest mark imaginable would be an appropriate reward? If you don't agree, I could write a persuasive essay to prove my case. After all, I did learn how to master the art of the persuasive essay in your class!

Hope you consider,

-Dylan
