Last Blog?!

I signed up for Lives and Times and prepared myself for a completely different class than the class I will walk away from come Tuesday December 16th. It is safe to say that it was not what I expected, but I am completely okay with that for a couple reasons.I can easily say that I left Professor Ambrose's class everyday with a better understanding of the material than I had had the day before, and ultimately I will leave this course as a better student than I was before I started it. Not only was this class more beneficial to me than I expected it to be, I also was able to read a lot of books and stories that I may not have ever heard of otherwise.
Out of all of my first semester classes of my first year at Saint Mary's, this course has not only encouraged me to grow as a writer but has helped me in this process the most. I am so thankful for this. Also, it has given me more confidence in the classroom due to our many classroom discussions and our interaction with one another's writing and ideas. Last, but not least, this class has introduced me to blogs and I will leave Lives and Times as more of an internet-whiz than I was in August of this year. Awesome.
I would also like to comment on the what we have read this semester and the three sections of reading. I thought it was really cool how they were split up and really emphasized different interpretations of place and how it affects people of different gender, age and time. It really gave us all a broad range of information for a more particular topic.
Thanks, Professor Ambrose, for the time and thought you put into this course!
