This Battle Maybe Over, But The War Is Just Beginning...

Well, it looks like this nightmare, I mean semester is finally over. I guess it means smooth sailing for me, right? WRONG!!! Because I still have three more years of college to go. Wish I could just fast-forward to the end of all this, but I cannot. It is probably for the best, because I'm afraid of what I maybe like three years from today. Whatever, moving on. Helps if I don't think about it. My experience during this semester was okay; a slight improvement from last semester. I think I did better in this class than I did last year in ENC 1101, as well as my other courses. But despite this, my first year still sucked. All in all, it was just as bad as high school, perhaps even worse. I've never had this much stress to deal with ever, which leads me to wonder whether this college thing is actually worth it.

I could ramble on forever about what I didn't like about my first year, but honestly, who the hell wants to read about that? Heck, even I wouldn't read that. Moving on. I think I learned some new things this year, such as using a good attention grabber in your introduction. But the best thing is I finally remember what logos, pathos, and ethos are (I tend to forget them immediately after learning them). And yet, I still feel like my writing skills haven't changed much. Still feels like they are the same as they were at the end of last semester, but perhaps a little better. Still, I guess this class was okay, despite how much I hated doing the proposal assignment (it's quite difficult when you only have one working computer and your dad gets irritated if your on it for too long).

As for this course, I don't think you should change anything. I think it was organized well and it should stay the same fro next semester. As for my expectations at the beginning of the semester, I can't for the life of me remember. I think that it had something to do with not really changing as a writer and not expcting the course to go so well. Were they met? I don't know, but I guess I can say that it went well; after all I believe that I am passing the class (hopefully). But the important thing is that  it is over and summer break is just around the corner, and with it about four months of R & R. So I would like to say this: This battle maybe won, but the war is far from over. With that, goodbye and good luck to all.
