Class on 3/23/16

Homework:
Buy a 30 plus page journal
Start writing every day
Have at least 4 pages of writing (any or multiple topics) ready for April 4th

More clarification: Start writing everyday in April. I want 30 pages of writing by the end of April. The topics can change. The format does not matter. Write what ever you feel passionate about. Buy a nice journal and write on only one side of the paper. Mix in some Spanish words if you get stuck and keep writing!

Have a great Spring Break!
