My last fairwells

I signed up with this class not knowing it was an eight week course. Which worked out great because I took on more then I should have this semester. I only wish it was one of my other classes that were ending first not this one. I have had a really great time reading poetry and feeling free to voice my own opinion without being told it was wrong. What else can you ask for then a class you can be yourself in. The class wasn't to hard or to easy and it kept you busy and on your toes.

Mrs. Dalloway

Out of all the books we have read in this class, Mrs. Dalloway is by far one of my favorites. There was so much going on in the book and it didn't bore me in fact I couldn't wait to find out how it would end. The other books were slow, long, just didn't hold my interest. I ended up listening to Great Expectations on audio to force myself to finish the book.

That is something else I learned. I have never listened to a book on audio before, but I think it helped retain the information I was reading a lot better. I use to read along to books when I was younger on cassette, but who would have thought it would make a difference for us during adult hood.
