It is 6:38 at the moment and its the first day of finals. Yesterday we all turned in our final drafts of our magnum opus. They are finally going to be published = / (eEeEeEk!) This class has truly been an experience. From the activities we did in and out of class to the papers we wrote. This class has broaden my outlook and given me a chance to find myself and experience things that i wouldn't have experienced otherwise.

The books we read we all interesting in their own way. At one point i was excited to crack open the books assigned to us.  The Odyssey, i read my freshmen year of high school, and i did dread readding it again, but it was a good refresher.  The next book was The Heartbreaking work of a Staggaring Genius. This book seemed better than the other book and it was =). The book was very realistic and gave me that thought as though he was talking to me. It was very real in the language it  was written. There were point of laughter, senmentalism and contemplation of what the heck he was doing. Maus was a great book. It was the longest comic I have ever read but it was one that i couldn't be put down. It was a different way to read a story and it was the first time o was exposed to a book of that sort. My favorite book out of this entire class was Women in Praise of the Sacred. The reason is obvious for those of you who know me. I enjoy artistic expression in any way and IT IS RELIGIOUS. yay! Two particular poems at one point helped my church leader through a tough time. Each poets' contribution helped this person.  The very last book was A Midsummer Night's Dream. I read this book my sophmore and i enjoyed it then and now. I enjoyed the activities we did with it in class such as the play within the play acting, where I thought i should have gotten the best actress award : o P ( kidding).

Each paper we wrote was very difficult because there was less and less subjects we could write about. My favorite paper i wrote in class was a poem that i wrote to become a song that related to a situation that i went through just recently. I think i over exxagerated the emotions i felt, but hey it is how i feel to an extent. The Magnum Opus was supposed to be an eye opener yet i feel that i knew all those things about myself. I believe it emphasized the importance of people in my life and the power of their influence but that was really it. I know that already...odd isn't it? Nyeh!

All in all, this quarter was an eye opener and i enjoyed it. I hope all of you do well on you finals and congrats to all of you who are transfering. I wish you the best although you guys won't need it. YOU ARE ALL HONOR STUDENTS. Have a great summer and live it up! God Bless and keep the Faith. DON'T DO ANYTHING I WOULDN'T DO, which by the way...is alot.
