A little something to get you fired up for essay writing!!!
(gosh, I hope I'm not the only one that gets fired up by Shakespearean monologues...)
And still I rise...
Okay, so you handled today's quiz. Are you ready for more? We hope so! That's what ol' Henry V is all worked up about in the audio clip above. Keep going back for more... never surrender... yee haw!!!
So, this might be a bit much, but we are trying to get you all stirred up for your exam essay tomorrow. It sounds goofy, but that is how I always approached exam week in high school in college. I thought of it as going into battle. Either that essay/exam was going die, or I was. Kind of a fun way to look at it, eh?
By the way, I mean no disrespect to people who have actually fought in battle; I know that an essay is nothing like actually getting shot at. IT'S A MENTAL TRICK!
Essay time
Remember that all your essay prompts are on our website. There are eight possible choices. You need to ready for any of them. DO NOT GAMBLE THAT YOU WON'T GET THE ONE YOU DON'T KNOW WELL. This will end with a lot of sadness and possibly a loss of bladder control. Take some time tonight looking over each prompt and either listing important pieces of information for each, or putting together a short outline for each one. Just make sure you're prepared. Failure is for the weak!

Today's musical journey through the best of 2015 lands us in the South; Alabama to be exact. Brittany Howard has get to have one of the best voices going right now. She'll just blow you out of your seat. If you seen the recent Apple commercials with the images from space, the song playing during the commercial is from this band as well. Their entire album, Sound and Color, is an absolute must have.
Here is "Don't Wanna Fight" by Alabama Shakes:
Two things: I was hoping Alabama Shakes made an appearance AND snape...too soon...
