This class was absolutely the hardest class to keep up with because of the massive workload. This semester I took a total of 5 classes and this class had more work than the other 4 combined. A few times during the semester I wanted to give up because it would have made this semester a whole lot easier and I would have been able to do better quality work. But I stuck through it and I’m glad I did. I knew this time would come, where I can see the end, and it’s amazing to think this is my last blog. This semester was the toughest one for me so far and I learned a lot about myself and my limitations. On the other hand, this class although a lot of work taught me more than I would ever imagine about literature, especially trying to analyze it. I have never been a literature type of person and I never thought I would be analyzing it as much as I did. But I did it, and got through it but not without complaining all the way through. Towards the end I was actually getting used to the class and I worked out a system and sacrificed a lot of fun to get work done on time. Until the end of the semester came and all the finals and papers were due. I cannot wait till summer break and the little bit of time off I will have. I am not going to waste any of my days off, and I’m going to do something fun and hopefully new every day. After summer I have to start getting back in the school mindset because I’m transferring to a university, it should be interesting.
Everybody in this class had strong opinions and I enjoyed reading the responses to my blogs and I also enjoyed reading others student’s blogs. It was fun seeing everyone’s different views and when they didn’t agree with something they were still respectful. I saw the class size shrink little by little until the select few were left. I congratulate the few that made it through this class, it wasn’t easy, unless this was your only class and obligation. I’m not really used to online classes and the nonexistent physical interactions with other students. But this class was set up to interact the most we could with other students for an online class. But I still prefer to take campus classes. It would have been nice to have at least one campus meeting to give advice, help each other out, and meet our fellow students. It seems like students in online classes don’t want to socialize with other students than students in campus classes do. But it was an experience to say the least. All in all, this is one class I will always remember.
