Knowledge Gained. Lives and Times Proved To Be A Good Time.

Ok, I am going to be frank. I had little to no knowledge about what this class would entail when I signed up for it. I was unable to get into another class that I had wanted to take, and I had taken a Humanistic Studies class first semester that proved to be quite interesting so I said, "What the heck, why not."

Then, after the first week I kept thinking, "This is not what I thought it was going to be. And I am not sure I am going to like this course after all." All the emphasis on technology and place and setting was just so out of my element, and I was afraid that I would not really enjoy or succeed in the class.

But then things picked up. Class became more about discussion and less about technicalities. The blogs became less of a nuisance and more about expressing my thoughts on the readings in whatever creative way I deemed fit. There was a great deal of freedom that accompanied the blogs, and knowing I could write whatever and however I wanted to made it less of a chore and the blogs kind of grew on me once I embraced them.

More so, the readings we had seemed to be more and more interesting to me as time went on. Some of my favorite readings were later in the semester, such as Othello, Lucy and "This Blessed House." And even the less favorable readings we had were still clearly beneficial to the course as a whole so reading them was not that bad really.

In conclusion, this course was challenging and usually quite enjoyable. Overall, Monday/Wednesday/Friday 11-11:50 was time well spent : )
