I can’t believe the semester is already at the end! I feel like it goes so fast. I was talking with my friend the other day and I remember when I was a freshman and how sick of school I was and how ready I was to go home. At Thanksgiving break, I literally cried when my mom picked me up! But now as a junior, I am actually sad and surprised that this semester went by so quickly. I don’t know if it’s because I have established who my friends are or I am enjoying my classes more, but I am sad that this class is coming to an end. 😦
With that being said, I often have a favorite memory or two from each class. I’m sure that you understand; sometimes you just go to class and you find yourself really enjoying it and laughing with your classmates. For this class, I have two memories. Once during the peer editing portion of our field controversy paper, I got into a really great discussion with my classmates about religion and evolution. I love discussing this topic but especially when people can do it respectfully, which my classmates handled in a respectful manner. I was really happy to find that young adults who didn’t really know each other were able to open up and speak so freely yet respectfully about a topic that I am passionate about.
Another one of my favorite memories was when collectively as a class, we had to come up for the grading rubric of our papers. I was honestly laughing at loud at how much we debated about this. It was really funny to hear everyone’s opinions and sometimes, as ridiculous as they sounded, they actually had a good point. I don’t know..I think it was just funny to see everyone get so emotional about it and obviously, I always remember it. 🙂
