Hey guys! Now, I'm not breaking the schedule. I just found out about this contest, and it ends before my now-normal time to post contest links. So, here you go!
Cynthia Leitich Smith is giving away a copy of The Juliet Club on her blog, Cynsations. Make sure to tell her what your favorite Shakespear quote is.
If you enter, leave a comment on this post from now until June 16th (which is the day that her contest ends) telling me your favorite Shakespear quote, and you'll get an extra entry to le concours de mystère (with the help of my French book and an online translator, mystery contest).
If the scheduled post thing's working correctly, I'll be taking the ACT again at this time. Cross your fingers for a better score (not like I need a better one, anyways. lol)
Only a week until FBLA Nationals. I'm so nervous. Our school has a tradition that mustn't be broken.
Is anyone else going? Let me know :]

My favorite is the whole of sonnet 116:
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
My favorite is from Romeo and Juliet
"O happy dagger!
This is thy sheath; there rust, and let me die."
Oh so cheery huh, lol.
-Breanna
"These violent delights have violent ends
And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
Which, as they kiss, consume."
-- Romeo and Juliet, Act II, Scene VI
I love that quote so much! BTW i took my ACT yesterday, i think i did ok. Good luck!

Aw, I'm too late. But I entered the contest with my favorite quote in R&J - one of J's speeches in Act III, scene ii.
Hope you did well on your ACT! (BTW, the SAT is even easier.)
