Blogging Around

Stephanie Gordon posted a blog called, "Captured Thought: The end is near". This caught my attention right away because I had a good idea what it would be about. Stephanie explained how and when it hit her that high school is quickly coming to an end. She questions what the future will hold for her.

HEY STEPHHHH!!!
I could not agree more with that entire entry. I think it was just the beginning of this month that I realized how limited my time was. Since I'm doing senior project, I have 6 more real days of school left. HOLY COW. I'm done after this. Like you, I always thought high school would go by nice and slowly even though everyone said how fast it would be. It seems like only yesterday we were on habitat anticipating senior year. I wish I could start over from freshman year, but like you said, now I can prepare myself for how fast these next four years in college will be!

Wow, great blog! So true... I agree with a lot of what you said about the classroom material from this year. I think some of it was alright, but it really took me a while and 'getting into' to enjoy what we were reading. Like Sophie's world for example, I also really didn't like that book, but sometimes I would catch myself reading it and enjoying it, until I remembered how cheesy and unrealistic it was.
But overall, I have to agree with you that I learned a lot about my mind. I'm happy with humanities first semester; I think it took me this class to understand some things about myself. Overall I'd say it was a very beneficial semester.
The same thing happened with Shadow Catcher, when Wiggins described her own life and boring art, I wasn't too interested. However, when she told the story of Edward and Clara, that's what really got me. I think Humanities helped me discover what type of reading I just 'get'.
