Well, the semester is all but over, and I guess I should say something about the class. It was fun. The discussions were open and refreshing, and it was nice to receive a writing assignment that didn't have an entire page of rigid rules and limitations. I wish more English classes followed that example. I don't mind writing about a certain book or story, but let me write what I want to about it. Don't give me 500 rules that pigeonhole me into writing some boring crap that will greatly resemble the work turned in by every other member of the class.
It was also nice to explore different media, and while I first didn't like the idea of a blog because in my experience only pretentious wieners who think anyone cares what they had for breakfast today or what their mood is create them. I make exceptions for people who have important ideas that they discuss, but for the most part "I'm going to see the Backstreet Boys reunion concert woooOOo~" is what blogs usually produce.
Will I keep this blog going? Probably not, for just that reason.
