I love when we get extra time to procrastinate! Bring on the stress of writing another last minute essay. I should get a trophy or something for this.

I liked the Breaking News! Thank you Mr. Peters for allowing us extra time to finish writing our essay. It was very helpful. If I wouldn't have sat down with someone one and had them look over my paper I wouldnt have done very well.
