Last Writ Post.

This isn’t me sucking up. This isn’t me lying to get a good grade. I LOVED this course. Honestly, I looked forward to coming to this writing class, and I know many of my peers felt the same way. A lot has to do with the professor; we got really frickin’ lucky. I don’t know that many kids who thought their professor was as awesome as mine and my fellow writ peers.

            I’ve always been fascinated by contemporary news and how news travels and changes over time. I think we had awesome discussions about contemporary events and did a good job linking those discussions and events to our writing prompts. It’s fun to write about things that interest you and happen in the world around you, instead of writing about boring, monotone prompts. In-class discussions were always interesting, not to mention entertaining…I’d always get a good laugh out of something. Getting to choose the blog we followed and having the opportunity to write a lot of blogs/an essay about that made the class very entertaining. I actually got really into it. Reading the New York Times has been extremely useful because I’ve developed a habit of reading the news, and this was something I always wanted to get in to! I definitely think that following blogs, reading the newspaper, and even writing blogs are habits that I will continue beyond this course.
