Free Speech is Being Thrown Out the Window

English class today was extremely interesting.  After a very lengthy discussion about the freedom of speech we were given words that are to be banned from any and all writing for the rest of the semester. If any of these particular words show up in any further writing, we fail. These are very common words, not slang that have been banned from our writing. I must admit that these sounds like a very interesting challenge, but the threat of failure seems a bit extreme. I cannot tell you what these words are if I do, I fail. As a matter of fact I have rewrote this sentence about four times because I have found myself using these particular words. I am interested in the challenge that has been presented to me in this instance but I do worry that I might accidentally fall into the trap of using these very common expletives. Other then English class this week has been a fairly decent one, albeit a little long. I received a B+ in my review of this website as well as a solid B on a very difficult test in one of my History classes. This weekend I am going to be very busy. I went shopping for some new work clothes with my friend Stephanie tonight and I work for most of the weekend. I am not sure why my manager is bothering to keep the store open on Sunday because we are not going to be having too many customers clamoring for shoes but maybe the lack of foot traffic will give me a good chance to catch up on some of my class readings.  I have to read Alexander the Great for my other history class and I have a test in that particular class this upcoming Friday. So overall the week has been good, classes have been good, and I am ready to get to sleep! I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.
