    I love how this class scares me to see what were doing everyday but I end up wanting to look at the blog everyday, multiple times to see what's gonna scare me!

    Do our thesis statements have to be only one sentence? I cant get all my ideas into that restraint.

    Your thesis doesn't need to be a single sentence; of course, you can always use semi-colons - and dashes (or parentheses) - to add more ideas to a single sentence.

    I wouldn't recommend it, though.

    Okay, I have always been told thesis statements were supposed to be one sentence...so good!
