Epic Poem/ugh/its okay

So I waited until everyone submitted their blogs about the epic poem before I could fully finish my journal entry. When we were going over what was needed in an epic poem I became very excited because I thought each student would be able to write their own, in their own way, with their own ideas. As we were going over Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Jonas Brothers, Kim Kardasian, etc; all these people who I really do not know, nor do I appreciate their music or whatever they do, because it does not necessarily pertain to me; I became almost mad that we had to write, what I felt was nonsense. I know it is a simple thing to do, to write something a little silly, but something about being in a college classroom after being told for years to act like a college student, it hit me. I think I am growing up. I would have loved to write this paper my sophomore or junior year because it would have been an easy slap some words down on a piece of paper and be done with it, but I realized that Mrs. Watson was trying to make a point...I think :-P. While it was going to be simple to write this, it also allowed us to think outside the box of a usual epic poem. It was supposed to be ridiculous, that was the fun of it. I just needed to sit back and realize one can learn something from writing a paper that is a little silly as long as they have very serious guide lines to follow.
