Hmmm…. what did i learn this semester in school. Well i didnt learn much about anyone im going to school with i wouldnt call myself an outgoing person. I dont even know whar LARC stands for and ive been here for a few semesters. i guess thats not really saying much about my perception of my surroundings. so i suppose the majority of what i have learned has come from my classes. i definitely learned more than a few things in comp 1. when i first signed up for eng 121, i thought to myself “oh great, english”. im not a huge fan of english but thats from a noun, verb, conjunction, blah blah, point of view. but comp 1 wasnt too bad. i never really did any writing in my free time but whenever i write i enjoy it a little bit. sometimes i like writing, sometimes i dont. its a love/hate relationship. anyways i learned that, ya, i like to write sometimes. ill admit it got a little draining at times but overall i enjoyed it. the a/p, passive voice stuff did help me a lot when i began to notice it in my writing.
but writing techniques and my own voice and enjoyment of writing werent the only things i learned. the content that we covered in class al0ng the way was very interesting too. at the beginning of class when we covered martin luther king and the civil rights movement, i learned a lot. and i can always get into to discussions like the ones that we got into about plato, and all that philosophy stuff. the renewable energy videos and the last essay. all of it was very interesting. i didnt expect to like the english class as much as i did to be honest. im never too stoked to take part in core classes. they are usuallly the hardest and well, most boring. but again, this did not reign true in this class. i am definitely walking away with a higher respect for writing and reading the writings of other authors. in the future i dont know how much writing ill actually do in my spare time, but i will definitely have a few more tools in my writing arsenal to play with.
