I have learned, by taking this class, that I am a slightly closed-minded person. I have been very pessimistic about most of our assignments in this class, but have ended up enjoying a lot of them. I forgot how much I like to write and I'm glad this class has reminded me. I really didn't want to do a blog post every day for the next few weeks, but I have found that I actually like doing them. It's a good way to clear my head out and then I can focus on doing my math better or reading my history book. I didn't want to do the workshop thing either, but I ended up enjoying a lot of what I read. Lastly, I didn't want to do the credo essay, because there is honestly not a whole lot I believe in and certainly not enough for me to write three to four pages about, but I came up with something and ended up writing a lot more than I thought I would! This class has put the fun back into writing for me. I don't know if I'm just taking it at the right time in life, or if the class set-up is really just that good, or if it's a combination of both, but I'm grateful! I feel challenged and the assignments aren't just straight-out-of-the-book kind of assignments. I'm not writing about something I've had to do a hundred times and it's making me more creative in my whole life. I am really loving it!
