    Well, you can just go to iTunes and download the lectures (they're free) and play them on your computer or iPad. It's not interactive or anything fancy like that, and of course you don't get graded. But you can go at your own pace and can stop at any time. You could even pick and choose and only...

    Which was the very first rock concert you ever went to?

    Led Zeppelin, 1973, Kezar Stadium in San Francisco. It was awesome. At my second concert not long after, I saw King Crimson at the University of California-Berkeley. The Eagles opened for them. It too was amazing. :)

    Poem: Beat of the Drum

    Well, I'm not that qualified to critique either, but I think, considering your age, it's quite good. You certainly set a scene and express yourself well in the poem. I would suggest that you look for ways that you can say things in new, unique and interesting ways, as sometimes you resort to...

    Poem: Dance

    Not sure if you're even still around to read this. I'm wondering if you really even need the first line. It seems a little unnecessary to me. In all, though, I like the poem a lot, as well as some others of yours I've discovered. :) Ches
