My First Week In Twilight English Comp 2

I recently got in a situation where i was trying to find a different English Comp 2 class. I was told to go talk to the secretary in the English department. When i arrived to the English departments office i was greeted by a lovely friendly women named Brandy. I sat down and explained my situation to her and she quickly put all my worries to ease. She started off by asking me if i liked "W.O.W", i had no idea what she was talking about. She soon told me that they had a English class where the main focus was surrounded around World Of Warcraft the online interactive role-playing game. I looked at her in disbelief and told her i don't think that was for me. She then asked me if i liked Twilight. It took my a second to answer because i typically didn't tell people about my appreciation of the blood sucking teen romance. I felt comfortable with Brandy and told her "yes, i do like Twilight." She told me she had just the class for me and the teacher was great and could work well with me and my needs. So I went from a normal comp 2 English class to Twilight Focused English comp 2. After she put me in the class and printed me a schedule i thanked her for helping me so much and I was on my way. As i was walking to my car, what i did finally started sinking in, "About three things i was absolutely positive: First, I had just signed up for a Twilight English class. Second, There was a part of me that was completely interested and a part on me that was scared to be in a class where people would know I was a Twilight fan. And Third, I was going to experience some thing new and it would teach me more then just about vampires but also to be comfortable around people." The next day was my first day of class and my nerves were running a little high. It was the fear of the unknown but as soon as i got to class I met the teacher and I knew Brandy was honest when she said she was nice. The teacher was at the bottom of my list of fears but the class and people in it were at the top. As i turned my focus away from the teacher my nerves were shortly put to rest as i saw a good friend of mine was here in the class with me. The first class went off without incident and every one there seemed very nice and every thing i had reservations about were all put to rest. Now being a few classes in i am enjoying the class and look forward to it. I am now reading breaking dawn and my appreciation for Twilight is growing. When Twilight came out i never read the books or saw any of the movies for about 3 years. To be honest with you i made fun of Twilight with out even knowing about it. It wasn't until one day me and my buddy were sitting in my living room going threw Netflixs movies and my buddy told me to go back. I realized that he told me to click on Twilight the first movie. I looked at him and laughed and told him "hell no", he then went on to explain himself and i decided to give the movie a chance knowing me and my friend had similar taste. I watched the movie and i was blown away. I liked every thing about it from its great setting of beautiful forest to even the high school love story. I was hooked. Soon after i saw all the movies with in the next week and started reading the books. The lesson i learned was never judge a book by it cover and also i had made a complete ass of myself for making fun of some thing i didn't know any thing about. I am looking forward to the rest of this class and finishing the last book.
