goodbyes

It still hasn't hit me that this semester is coming to a close. I see the snow on the ground and hear Christmas music on the radio but for some reason I'm failing to recognize all the signs of winter break approaching! Maybe I'm just in denial of all the work I have this coming week, who knows! But anyway, I wanted to talk about this class. Even though I took this class to fulfill a requirement, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Looking back at all the writing assignments I've done over the semester as I assemble my portfolio, I can't help but feel a sense of pride. Who knew I was capable of all of this! I mean, sure, my mom always believed in me but I never thought I could write like this. I'm impressed with myself. I think that's what makes a good course -- when you can walk away feeling accomplished and proud. I'm going to miss the workshop sessions and the class discussions. Oh on a side note, I have never in my life written on a blog before. I'm glad I was forced to do so or else I would have never had such an experience! I really pushed myself in this class and tried new things and I'm grateful I had such an opportunity! It's been a pleasure =)
