Thank You Class of Engish 103!

This semester has been a very crazy one that is for sure. When I first looked at our first week of assignments, I thought it was going to be overwhelming. We had so many things to do, and this is only one class. I remember thinking; this lady must be out of her mind to assign us all of this work. It did seem like a lot didn’t it? Well, I am glad she assigned us every assignment because it has helped me to be a better writer and communicator. This class has been a real journey, even with all of these assignments. I am glad she pushed us to our limits. The blogs were my favorite because I got to vent my ideas, and my peers would agree with me, for the most part. It was nice to be able to respond to a topic without feeling judged. The blogs have also showed me that five hundred words is a lot, and if we can complete these every week than we can write essays easier, and that is exactly how I felt.

Essay came easier because of these blogs and it was also enjoyable. I also liked reading my classmates’ blogs to see how they feel and how they think. Majority of the time we were all on the same page. We were feeling the same way, or we had similar ideas. When it came to venting about our research papers that was my favorite. It made me feel so much better that I wasn’t the only one that was feeling that way. I loved this class because we all had the same goal. I felt like we were all friends just trying to get through school. We al supported one another; this is what made the class so enjoyable. We gave each other advice when needed, or just a simply phase as “you are doing great” makes me feel accomplished. I loved everything about this class, the peers, the professor, and even some of the work.

For the most part I did enjoy everything we had to do except for the reading discussions. I did not like posting on there, not too sure why but I just felt like it was a waste. I didn’t get too much out of it, and most of the time I ending up forgetting. It obviously was not on my top priority even though it should be. I was more focused on the critical thinking and the essays at the time. Other than that, I felt like all the work we did was worth it and I took something out of it. I really enjoyed getting to know every one of you and it was just a real pleasure. If I would want to take an English class I would want it to be just like this! Thank you for everything! You guys have made this semester pleasant with all of your nice words, thank you! Have a great summer everyone! (:
