the end.

I just finished reading the last article for the course and I must say I really enjoyed it. Both the articles by Feiski and Edmundson’s were very interesting. For starters I found reading something not full of technical terms very refreshing, especially as my mind is starting to wind down. But I also really liked so of the points that were made, especially in Edmundson’s article. I understand that close readings are important, but I also think it is important to read for oneself – whether it be for enjoyment or personal growth. I believe I had one of those moments he was talking about, where you go “Ah ha!” while I was reading his article. After a year of close readings, critiquing and analyzing everything that was read, it was good to remember that it is ok just to read sometimes.

I can’t believe that this year is already coming to an end, it just flew by!!! It seems like just yesterday we were all sitting down in Dr. Pound’s class for the first time. Everyone a little terrified at the idea of this theory class, and shocked at the idea of writing a weekly blog. It seems to me that this blog has been a pretty good tool when it came to figuring out the course material, even if it was just to get your ideas out there to see what people thought. I think I will actually miss my weekly bog updates; they were such a good mode of expression. The course itself turned out to be much better than I thought it would be and I think Dr. Pound did an excellent job of conveying all that knowledge that was smushed into one course.

Well good luck to everyone on the exam, and have a great summer!!!
