Number one, next time my brain decides to think about a fantastic journey to take an upper level English class for no reason, I am going to fight back and say no. I didn't expect the amount of reading that came along with it. I had to read for my Intro to Journalism class every Monday and Wednesday, besides reading entire halves of books, and blogging, and writing, and after awhile, it really started taking a toll on me. I made really good friends in that class though, so I guess in the end, it wasn't that bad.
Number two, I am good at some things. I always considered myself average. I always have, it's who I am. I have never gotten an A in a science class. I've always gotten a B. Have I ever sat there questioning why I wasn't an A student? Of course not. That would be silly, because I know, science is just one of those things that isn't me at all. I don't understand it half the time. Same goes with math. Except statistics. Somehow, I managed to get an A in that class, but that was mostly because of the small number of students (there were six of us) and the leniency of the professor (seriously, we painted a chart on the wall for extra credit). But somehow, when I started blogging and writing (in both journalism classes, and my English class, too), I started to feel good about it. I hope it will lead me somewhere. If not, at least I enjoyed it.
Number three, cinema is good in small doses. I love movies, obviously. I have for awhile now, but studying film is a lengthy process. It was good to have a film class just once a week so I managed to get a taste of it besides the extra work of everything else. This class required no homework or papers, and none of the four tests were cumulative. How awesome is that?
Number four, I love learning from classes! My globalization class taught me so much about our world and our culture that I am starting to tell people about it. I mean, how crazy is it that corporations are ruling our world? Is that right at all? They could possibly be the reason for global warming too. Think about all the delivery trucks that go everywhere full of goods, and the airplanes and the ships, too. It's insane. And it scares me.
Number five, I procrastinate way too much. I learned this a lot about myself this semester, not that I didn't know this beforehand. I have done this in high school, too. I think it might be human nature or something. My friends kind of look at me funny when I do it, but I really haven't changed that much. I've just been very lucky with time frames. One of these days it's going to bite me in the butt, but I'm not worried just yet.
Now I'm going to relax and do nothing. At all. Because now that I'm all done with these papers, I feel this incredible wave of relief. And it feels good. I hope that I'll want to spend more time on this, because, as you can see, I've been neglecting it, save a few posts from class. But now that class is over, and I'm going to have to depend on just me from now on..once again.
