Awe Our Final Blog!!

I have no idea whether to say this semester went by so fast or if it was just enough! Lol I honestly can’t believe I made it through this class. I remember when the semester started, I was freaking out, wondering whether I would make it past the first month, let alone the entire semester. But I can honestly say I did get a lot out of this class. English was never my best subject, especially on an independent basis, and I was hearing that taking English 102 online was the biggest mistake I could ever make, especially since this was the first class I’ve taken online. People were telling me that, on top of everything else I took this semester, English would be the most challenging class. And I would definitely agree, it is one of the hardest classes I’ve taken, but I have taken so much out of it than I ever expected. I learned more about myself and when I truly stand for and I’ve learned to have a little more appreciation towards literature and what it has to offer, even though it definitely can be a pain in the neck at times. And what surprised me the most is that I’ve actually got that itch to start doing outside reading again, which I haven’t had in a long while!

And to my peers, I think I’ve learned more from you guys than anything. Even though we weren’t exactly in a traditional classroom setting, or working together in person, the group projects and especially the blogs were such amazing learning experiences for me. I would even dare to say that I think I learned more in this class than I have in any other English class I’ve taken. I’ve learned to have an open mind and definitely how to see things through other perspectives. You guys are all great people and I really enjoyed working, learning, and sticking it out together all semester. Congrats to all of you who made it as well! And even though I didn’t communicate too much with Jennifer, she did make this class a lot easier in her own way. She made it so much easier for me to get used to taking this online class and helped us to get a better feel for what to expect and letting us know exactly where we’re going and how we’re going to get there. I’m really glad that I had a professor like Jennifer for my very first online class to really take the edge off, but definitely hit us hard with homework. I think that was another thing that really helped keep me on track, knowing that there’s so much to do that needs to get done before the stroke of 12:00 midnight on Sunday night, but within all that chaos, I really did get the take home message from each assignment.

As hard as it is for me to believe, it’s time that I bid my farewell to Jennifer, my peers, and English 102. Thank you all for everything you all have taught me, it’s been a great experience that I’ll never forget and I wish you all the best of luck in your future endeavors. :)
