The English Club Gets Two Thumbs Up
We had an English Club at my high school, of which I was a part for about two months. It seemed like a good idea at the time. Unfortunately, there were a few english teachers who decided to use it as a punishment and make it mandatory for anyone with a C average or below to attend the meetings and read the books. It was one of the most depressing things I've ever seen. Therefore, in the hopes that this club will be somewhat less of a purgatory. and more of an enlightened discussion, I've decided togive it a second chance. I need something that will make the words "English Club" less painful, and this seems like it might be just the thing to do it. There was a guy in my class who wrote a paper titled "Great Inventions." Except he spelled it "Grate." Seriously.

"Two Thumbs Up"? What's up with the optimism? You surprise me, Paul. :-)
Ugh... that's an extremely depressing story, Paul. I certainly hope SHU's club doesn't suffer from the same fate!
Update November 20, 2003 not the 19th
Well Paul hopefully this club will be a lot less stressful to students. My goals are to help fellow students with recreational, academics, and community events. Grades are not going to be an issues in this club it is not a sport. But it will help you improve you grades with workshops and study groups. I hope you change your mind and join the club! There will be a sign-up Tomorrow 11/19/2003 from 10 a.m. to 12 pm. Feel feel to ask any questions or state coments.
oh my... Paul, that's got to be one of the saddest stories I've ever heard. Sorry you were a victim of a club gone wrong.
