SUMMER TIME!!

     Woo! The spring ’11 semester is coming to an end! It’s felt short yet long at the same time and I really can’t believe that next week I won’t have all these assignments to do, or a blog to write. This class wasn’t exactly a walk in the park but I definitely enjoyed it. I’m glad that I decided to take English 101 online and I’m even happier that I was lucky enough to have had such a good teacher. Jennifer always made herself available, was always really understanding, and really helped me learn a lot. I feel like my writing skills have improved and writing has become easier in general. I used to have to really get into it and think about what I was going to write before I began an essay, but now it’s like my mind and my hands just know what to do. I’ve enjoyed the blogging assignments the most because we got to read other students’ writing and really got to know each other even though we never met in person. Most online courses are pretty impersonal and down to business so I thought that was pretty unique. I think that we would have had less work to do if we would have met in person every week but I liked that I could work at my own pace and set my own schedule. This course being so awesome has really persuaded me to take other online classes in the future. What did you think about it?

     Have any cool plans for summer? I’ll mostly be working Monday through Friday so that’s not too fun but at least I’ll have money to blow (not that I don’t manage to blow the little money I make now). Last summer felt like an eternity; in a good way though, because everyone is so carefree in the summer. That’s probably the one advantage about being a teacher. No one else gets the whole summer off every year. I’m not sure if the positives outweigh the negatives though. Overall, did you enjoy the course? Are you doing well in your other classes? I took Biology 101 with Rainbow this semester and all I can say is, do NOT take his class. Really though, I usually like all of my teachers even if they’re not exactly “fun” or “easy” but that man is something else. So glad yesterday was my last day in there. I’m just praying that I pass because I really need to have good grades in order to get into the Radiological Technology program. I started a semester late so now I’ll have to either wait another year to apply or try to take some courses at College of the Canyons on top of the courses I will be taking at AVC next semester. Talk about stressful! What are you studying at AVC? Are you trying to transfer somewhere? Anyway, it was a pleasure taking this course with all of you and I hope you enjoy your summer!
