The College Experience, To Be Continued…
“This class was the best thing ever! 5 stars! A can’t miss!” K really Jess, this class was great. I had to end my blogs the way I started, getting the obvious out of the way. ;)
Your class will be special to me for several reasons and I will explain.
I will start with course content. The texts that we read ranged from “I don’t understand every other word, so how am I supposed to get the meaning” (don’t worry, I had the same problem with Beowulf in high school), to inspiring texts like the Dao De Jing. My favorite quote from the Dao De Jing is “truthful words are not beautiful; beautiful words are not truthful.” His text relates to the requirements of this blog ironically. (BTW If you believe that you can disrupt the space, time continual, I just scored 25 points on my paper.)
My last notes on content, before I move on…I had not seen “the Matrix” in over a decade, but in the context of class, I was inspired by the combination of the movie and the “the thinkers” section of class.
I also would not have EVER watched “V”. But I loved it! No. Really, I did.
Note of criticism: There were many pop culture examples during discussions in class that I could not relate to…an explanation of the plot, characters in these discussions may help all students to relate.
The students: How fun! What a combination of people!!! I am in the final stages of my degree in a business/hospitality degree. When you get to this point in your business education you can become quite focused on the tools of success in that field, so it was great to interact with a combination of pre-req, majors, and just folks that wanted to learn more.
YOU>>>>>>Jess you are great. If you are not a mother already, you will make a great one! You are reflective, fun, competitive, and passionate.

Is there an underscore in that email? :)
ReplyDeleteThank you David; maybe I'm blushing but you'll never know! Seriously though, the thinks section is my favorite and I'm really glad it spoke to you. Also, I will try to watch out for blank pop culture references, but remember to yell when you don't understand. Just hollar at me until I make sense!
