Well, this is officially my last assignment for this class, which is crazy. Post #62.
With regards to how the reading wrapped up these past couple weeks, I have to say I sort of fell off of it once we lost the more structured assignments. I did most of my work for this class at home, so I didn't explore the comic book options at the Bizz, although I do think they would have been interesting, and kind of regret that a bit. In the end, I started replacing at least one of my reading assignments with the extra commenting extra credit, because I realized how much I enjoyed it (which is ironic, because at the beginning of the semester, I thought that was the assignment I would like least). Overall, my favorite reading assignments were the epics (probably the Mahabharata more so than the Ramayana), and the Jataka tales.
I enjoyed the last story I wrote for this class, which was last week. The scene of the Mahabharata with the brothers at the lake, dying because they didn't listen to the voice, was one that I saw a lot of people rewrite, so I had fun with my take as well. I really enjoy riddles and puzzles, so it was a fun story to write. I definitely think my writing and creativity improved over the course of the semester, which is a cool thing to say.
I was consistently impressed with the originality of people's Storybooks in this class, and I liked getting to read the stories from the other class to get a feel for what they were exposed to. There was one about the dangers of science that I thought was really well-written.
Now I'm excited for Thanksgiving break, where I'll be going home with one of my roommates to her house in Colorado for the third time. And after that, it'll be a whirlwind of holiday spirit and studying, and then home to Connecticut for the holidays. And just like that, senior year will be half over.
Overall, this was a fantastic class, and I got a lot out of it. I'll miss all the interesting stories and articles, and this format of learning things and writing about it in this blog.
