Thlog #10: So...This is...Goodbye?

Amidst the infinite cups of vanilla lattes, the struggle to search for a parking spot for your bike at the library, and the late night study sessions, I took a minute to reflect on my first quarter as a college student. I'm not going to lie--it was difficult. But I knew that.

Writing 2, in particular, was a challenging course, and my expectations were far from what the reality. I legitimately believed I would walk into a classroom and face a typical, old professor handing us articles that we had to analyze. Each week. But, even if we did ave that task, Zack put on a show every class that captured my attention and made me more interested in writing (and I didn't know that was possible).

Zack's moves were fantastic: YouTube videos, group activities, peer reviews, etc. These all helped make the class what it was. Writing 2 program was the broad genre, but Zack's moves made it much more interesting. Additionally, I find it truly hilarious that I am now analyzing moves of a specific course because of the lessons and terms we discovered.

In fact, I find myself analyzing literally everything now. I can't believe I'm come to this, but I'm not saying I hate it. Actually, I'm quite fascinated by this concept of my brain automatically applying the lessons I've learned throughout the experiences that I run into in life. I have earned a great knowledge in this course, and I can't even begin to express what they are and how thankful I am for it. I'm being completely, 100% genuine.

I really enjoyed the Writing 2 genre and its conventions.
I really enjoyed the moves that Zack had throughout the quarter.

Now, I have to say goodbye. But this isn't forever.
I want to pursue a minor in writing.
Also, I have a blog of my own. This is something I want to share with all of my wonderful classmates if they're still tuned into this course.

And finally, it is time for me to go. Thank you all. :)

P.S. You really thought I would end the final blog post in this incredibly depressing mood? You thought wrong. Check this out; I found it online:
