Usually my blogs have a theme, but I have a feeling that this one is going to be comprised of various ramblings. This course is over, and I must say that is has by far been one of the most enjoyable "survey" courses that I have had to take! I was sad that we ran out of time and didn't get to discuss Mrs. Dalloway though. I read that book months ago for the class, and it was my favorite by far! I loved how each character analyzed life and how it should be lived....it was a book that made you think about your own mortality, your own purpose in life, and what all you have accomplished so far. Reading it was a challenge, with its lack of chapters, but after a while I realized that Woolf's writing style helped make it that much better...all of those deep perspective a day!
I have taken a lot away from this class, more than I think a student would get if this class was in an actual classroom. Presenting your thoughts online seems a lot less daunting, and I think it opens people up more. The projects in here were fun, and I liked the fact that the professor was more interested in out personal thoughts and discussions, rather than driving paper-writing into our brains, a normal stipend of any English Lit. class. Overall, this class was a fun class to take, and the information that I take away is both useful and applicable to my course of study, a rare find sometimes! :)
