What did I put myself into? I cried, I whined, I screamed, and almost died because of this class. Just kidding (lol).
But that was INTENSE! Don't you agree?!
I remember when I signed up for this class--and let me tell you how scared I was. I read every single comments from students about this class. Comment after comment my jaw dropped. Commend after comment the more uneasy I felt. Every single student stressed about how much work they had to do for this class. I was scared to take the class, but I couldn’t just drop it; I needed it! I tried lightening myself by saying, "They're just probably exaggerating." But no, they were not exaggerating. If "over exaggerating" is not stressed as a redundant word, and something exaggerated can go way beyond its exaggeration, then the students' comments were not over exaggerated; the class is that intense.
I probably never read this much for one class before and I never bought so much books for just one class either. All of the classes I have taken required one or two books; even my last English class only required two books. But this class--oh gosh darn this class--we needed four to five books. I’ve had classes when we never even touched the book that we were “suppose” to buy. But in this class, I’ve touched every book and every single page of each book. Oh and, I’ve never written so much in my life! Papers after papers; blogs after blogs; questions after questions; responses after response; type, type type. My fingers are worn out. Even my keyboard is worn out. My spacebar has a scratch on the right side because of my right thumb. I honestly think that my eyes got worst and that I gained weight because of this class (lol). I sat in front of my computer for hours everyday because of online work. So much reading and typing sheesh!
I can complain all I want. But no matter how much I complain, I cannot argue at the fact that I gained knowledge from this class. My critical thinking enhanced; maybe not extremely enhanced but at least a little bit. I feel that my writing is better; not a lot better but at least it also improved. I honestly think I’m going to miss this class. I know that sounds strange and nerdy but I just had to admit it. I’m not going miss it because of the readings and essays, but I will miss this class due to my enjoyment of discussions with my peers. Especially blogging. I enjoyed writing blogs and reading everyone's thoughts about the topic that we had to write about. It’s strange though, how I felt scared when I found out that we had to blog. I never wanted to share my thoughts and writing to anyone because I feared people’s opinions. But it turns out that it’s not that scary at all. Everyone is going to be a critic anyways. I just need to adjust the way I think to prevent myself from insults. I will only be insulted if I think about being insulted; does that make sense to you (lol)?
Anyways, I would like to thank Professor Gross for being an absolute sweet heart and an understanding instructor who encourages every student to do well. I would also like to thank those who complimented my writing. I never liked my writing, but it was really nice for someone to think that I have the ability to write well. And this is my goodbye. It was nice to meet you all; even if I have not met any of you physically (lol). I want to encourage all of you to do well now and the future. Oh and we did it! There’s only a few of us who survived this class (lol). So give yourself a pat on the back!
Bye everyone & take care.♥
