So the semester is finally over. Time for me to go through with finals, hope that my studying will be enough and look forward to the extended break. It’s also a time to look back over the last few months of my academic life.
I will admit I could have done better, especially in this class. The stress of juggling homework, newspaper and, early on, a job got to me too many times. Completing the job with all my effort is something I’d like accomplish do come next semester.
The part of this class I enjoyed most probably would be the short story. Afterall, this is a story I’d had in my mind for so long. Even to put a small portion of it on paper made me happy. Of course it is nowhere near complete. The 750 words for each chapter, while enough to complete the assignment, could have been 1000 words per assignment and I’m still not sure I would’ve been able to fully develop it. In any case, I still enjoyed the opportunity.
I really can’t think of anything I’d change about this class other than maybe have a longer short story section. While poetry was interesting, it’s never been anything that caught my interest. As the old song lyric goes; “I’m nobody’s poet.”
Anyway, I’d like to say thanks for the opportunity to help me expand on my creativity. I said earlier in the year that I hope to go further with writing. I really think this class will be a huge boost to get me to that point, and for that I thank you.
