This semester has been a good one and it was certainly good on the part of writing. I had spent a lot of time away from the pen and paper and trying new ways to analyze my thoughts and it’s been really good to get back to it.
The greatest thing I’ve discovered so far this semester is learning what “texts” are and how they are more than just reading a book and talking about how it made me feel. The things we’ve read in class are REAL things that apply to me. It’s interesting to have light shed on them.
I never really thought of pop culture as something that can be analyzed and discussed in class. For example, the aspects of gay marriage have always stayed pent up in me and have always stayed tucked away in my brain and it was good to write about them.
I think I’ve rediscovered my love for writing over the course of this semester. It was such a big part of what I did in high school (especially my senior year) and it was nice to relearn something’s I had forgotten. It’s a good outlet for me, as life gets crazier and crazier.
I am in full agreement with my grade and with the way the class is conducted. It is such a fun and safe environment to explore our thoughts. I have never felt that I would be judged by my opinion. Not only was it a “writing class” but it was a “thinking class” too. Also, it’s important to have my classes conducted in this way because it reminds us that we have to connect with the culture around us. We need to connect and stop the world from spinning for a second and just write about how we feel.
