Dum, de, dum, dum, duuuuum. No not DUMB!!!

Tis the season, and all through class, we are all looking forward to a new semester at last.  With our portfolios given to the professor at last, we wait with bitten nails to see if we will pass.  Instead of a final log on the fire, we have a final blog on the 'puter, oh how times have changed from logs to blogs....

Ok, I know I am not a poet, I decided to let the voices in my head have some fun.  So now let me look back on the semester in English 001 and Professor Simon, oh don't worry, I'll be nice.  After all, SHE HAS MY PORTFOLIO!!!! I have to say, this has been the hardest, most frustrating, want to punch my computer in the screen, hair pulling (if I had hair) class I have ever taken.  But above all, a huge learning experience.

It has taken most of the semester, but I think my writing has improved.  I know what I have to do in the hopes to write a passing paper, BRIBE SOMEONE IN THE LEARNING LAB!!! just kidding.  I have learned, and have to keep beating myself with a baseball bat in the head to keep it there for now, that I must outline before writing.  It is still difficult for me to do, but I am getting better with doing so.

Hmmm, the least favorite thing I have had to endure the entire semester, let me see.  Was it reading The Omnivore's Dilemma? Nooo.  Was it watching the movie "Food Inc?" Nooo. Was it doing all the chapters in Evergreen?  Not anywhere close.  It was ALL THE FREAKING REWRITES OF MY ESSAYS!  Profressor Simon blew my organizational skill out of the water with all of the rewrites.  But that is over now, thank God.  I think having all of the writing out of the way is why I am growing my hair back, that and it's freakin cold outside.

The two things I enjoyed the most were, reading the Omnivore's Dilemma (yeah, I am weird, you haven't seen all of me yet) and watching "Food Inc."  I really did find them interesting.  I will keep my book and pass it on to someone in my family to read.  I must add, I really liked working with Neshay and Paula on our little group assignment.  After my prior experience with a group project in Psych that was a nightmare, this group was fun and enjoyable.

Oh boy, advice to the new vict, I mean students, under the wings of Professor Simon.  BE PREPARED TO WRITE and WRITE and WRITE SOME MORE!!!  If you can't type, you need to learn or get someone that can, you're gonna need them.  Also, have your assignments done, or else you will get the tongue lashing of you life.  Also go to the learning center, she harps on that too, but it is worth it.  She is a mother (not what you're thinking), and she shows it.

I wish someone had told me how time consuming this class was going to be, I would have re-worked my schedule (personal) to allow for such time consumption.  But, like I said earlier, this semester has been one of learning, and that I have done.  Onward to the next semester.
