Reflection

Throughout this course I have met some great people, wrote some pieces that I did not think I was capable of and discovered a lot about myself that I was not aware of. I enjoyed this course because it was not like any other course that I have taken. It was creative and intellectual. This course gave me a chance to express my feelings in a way that I was not familiar with. The one thing that ENGL 223 made me realize is that I miss acting. I miss the stage and I need to get back up there. I need to do what I love. So, that is the challenge that I am assigning myself. I am going to make the time to act in a play or even help with a production. Acting is the one thing that makes me happy and I need to find that happiness again.

Thank you to all of my classmates for making this a great experience!

Ira Glass

Well, I was bored. I did not find what he was talking about interesting. I got what he was trying to get across. His particular industry is hard work, it takes a lot of time and criticism to get anywhere. I acutally was slightly annoyed when he was talking. He came across very arrogant to me. Honestly, I don't think I would listen to his show.

Open Mic Night

I enjoyed the open mic night. I do kind of wish there would have been more of a turn out from the campus as a whole. I felt good about my performance, I wish was up to snuff on my guitar playing because I think that would have added to my performance. Overall, I though everyone did great. All of the readings were good. I think the next time this is done it should be in a little more private area. At times the others that were in the area became distracting.
