Reflections about the EFL Class #2

I don’t know when it started. All I know is suddenly we’re already talking about Shakespeare’s creations.
            One of them, ‘Much Ado About Nothing,’ in which we are tasked to read, is… well, I can’t say much because we've just went pass the Act 1 Scene 1. All I know by now is that it’s a great work of art, crafted in such a manner that the characters are deep, the humors abundant and the plot twisted, (in a complicated yet not confusing way, provided you can get past the archaic terms and language) while constantly being light and easy to comprehend. Despite the old terms and complex words, the unacquainted humors and the unexpected unfurls of the story, I could at least determine that this work of art is genuinely splendid, and truly one of Shakespeare’s better creations. If my guess is right, this Benedick fellow, which is a real player, would inevitably be hooked up to Beatrice, despite the ‘match of wit betwixt them,’ as Leonato, Beatrice’s uncle, would say.
            Shakespeare aside, I must say, and yes, I MUST, admit that I am delighted to be in the EFL class, not the ESL. Though technically I and a lot of others shouldn't have been in the class, and though actually I’m enrolled in the ESL in the first place, and though actually it’s just a streak of luck that Zaki (thanks a lot btw, bro) inquired about my first language’s past (while unknowingly thinking that my name is listed on EFL, not ESL) and showed me the proper classroom, and though I’m starting every sentence after the coma on this one pointlessly long sentence with ‘and though’, I’m very pleased and fortunate, I think, that Jon’s the kind of rebelliously-nice teacher that would overlook that small technical mistake.
            I just wasted a whole paragraph saying rubbish, didn’t I? Oh well.

            Till next time.
