Class Reflection
Of all of my grade twelve classes, this one was my second favourite (right behind philosophy).
I've really enjoyed learning about how to become a better writer. After last semester's English class, I lost a lot of confidence in my ability to write essays and papers, but this class has kind of brought that confidence back. I think that this class has made me more creative, as well. Being able to write about whatever you want for each unit assignment was awesome. Although it was challenging at times, to think of something new and creative, it was fun and liberating. This class is refreshing after writing under the strict guidelines of the 4U English class.
I'm not saying this to suck up, but I have really enjoyed having you as a teacher, Mr. Heneke. You can tell that you're passionate about writing, and that's important when teaching a bunch of kids who maybe aren't that passionate about it. I know we were obnoxious at times, but I hope that we weren't too hard on you.
I set up my grade 12 year so that my second semester was pretty easy. I only have two classes and thanks to writer's craft, my final semester has actually been enjoyable.
I came into this class because I was planning on going into journalism next year. Unfortunately, that is no longer my plan, but I'm still really happy that I stayed with this class. It gives you experience that you don't get in other classes. Note-taking doesn't really bother me, but being able to write whatever I want for all of the assignments has actually been fun. I find that this class is kind of a break from the typical school day. You get 75 minutes to think of things that other classes don't allow you to think of. It gives you the chance to write and think freely, which is important - mainly because you don't get to do that a lot anymore.
Overall, this class has definitely been worth my time. It's a great way to start my day and an even better way to finish off my senior year.

Haikus WOOHOO
Ode to Haikus
Pannick overwhelms me
poetry is my nemesis
curse haikus
This Wretched Lab
Computers humming
I gaze out the window
graduation hurry up
Hot Mess
Foolish teenage drama
hanging out by the pool;
the heats gets to us all
Pannick overwhelms me
poetry is my nemesis
curse haikus
This Wretched Lab
Computers humming
I gaze out the window
graduation hurry up
Hot Mess
Foolish teenage drama
hanging out by the pool;
the heats gets to us all

Patchwork Poem
In Tokyo,
will you get paid tomorrow?
Thank God we don't have kids,
we pushed them over a cliff.
What is all this juice and all this joy,
on the other side of the world?
will you get paid tomorrow?
Thank God we don't have kids,

What is all this juice and all this joy,
on the other side of the world?
FREE RICE POEM
Podzol leaked all over the cardoons,
the snaffle appeared just past noon.
The shrieval came to save the day
of the helpless indaba that began to pray.
The end was near and hebetate,
the artichoke hearts could no longer be ate.

Character Profile: Short Story
Yet another speepless night. The idea of sleep is wonderful, but the pain it causes isn't really worth it. I sit in bed and watch movies all night... Doesn't really seem like a bad thing, until you have to go to school again the next day. My teachers always ask if I'm feeling alright, my friends laugh about how tired I look. I laugh along, figuring that maybe it really isn't that big a deal. And around them, it doesn't really seem like a big deal. It isn't until I get home that I realize that I'm in for another night of terror. My parents kind of shrug it off. We've tried so many different sleeping pills and anxiety medications that it really seems like there's nothing more that they can do. Both of them do shift work; my mom is a nurse and my dad is a firefighter. So they aren't always around when it happens. Those are the nights that I fear the most. If I fall asleep, I'm doomed. Who will be there to wake me up from my shrieking? The night terrors have almost started to take over my life. Sometimes I think about different ways to stop them; maybe a medication that could make me stay awake all night and not be tired the next day, maybe something that could prevent you from dreaming. But both of those options seem a little bit unrealistic, so the idea of suicide to end this pain and suffering often looms in the back of my mind. My friends don't understand, and would probably think it selfish of me to do this, but they have no idea. My parents would be devastated, but even they've given up on me.
