Auf Wiedersehen Mein Die Kollegen! (i bet you didn't know i was German)

Ah, the time has come to move on from this class (thank GOD). I don’t think summer could have come at a better time honestly. I’ve been counting down the weeks till we were done and it seemed to drag on forever. The last three weeks have been an absolute brutal nightmare because I’ve been waiting for it to just end already. Don’t get me wrong, I liked the class and the teacher, I just hated the work. I mean, I’ve never had to spend sooo much time on just one class (maybe biology). At first, I was in a complete panic stage because I just couldn’t quite figure out how to work through it all. I was so overwhelmed that I actually cried one week because I thought there was no way I could get it all done. It’s so funny because I looked back at that week and thought to myself “this is easy, what was my problem?” it’s definitely a class that you have to adjust to and make tons of room for but I got used to it and never panicked again. I’ll admit, I am definitely not a big fan of literature; actually, I really hate it. I hate everything about it. And when Jennifer introduced our week one schedule and that letter we had to write about how much literature meant to us and what we can learn from it I thought “you’ve got to be kidding me. I hate literature, there’s no way I can tell her how much I like it and what I can learn from it.” The answer, for me, is still zippo. I still hate analyzing literature and poems, but this class taught me how to and I’m grateful for learning. I mean, I really hated this class in the beginning but I just knew I wouldn’t pass if I didn’t give it a chance and take it seriously. So I did, and it really wasn’t that hard because Jennifer made it so easy to follow. Without the homework helper and her, I never would have had it easy because I’m such a scatterbrain. I think the way Jennifer had it all set up was brilliant; I’ve never had a teacher who was so helpful and involved with the entire class. I really appreciated that part, every week. It’s getting really hard to type the rest of this because I got acrylic nails done a few weeks ago and they’ve mutated into talons. I swear, my nails get stuck in the keyboard. Anyway, and now I shall say FAREWELL to the rest of you. To my regulars, I love you all and your righteous comments. To the rest of you, you really missed out because I’m a genius. Lisa, your blog was always one of my favourites. Penniless and Jessica, you too. I’m going to go out on a limb and say I’ll miss the blogs and my favourite people. You people were fantastic, and I know you’re all just dying to kick off the summer so TTFN ta ta for now!
