Truthfully, English 420 was one of the most interesting courses I have ever taken during my four years here, at the University of Michigan. As I said in my recent presentation, I did not understand what Thylias truly meant on the first day of this course when she said that "you will not be done with your journey until the last day." This proved to be incredibly correct for me. At first I thought that I was going to create a "dream journal" on my blog, but this was way too difficult because I could not remember my dreams and the dreams that I could remember were too weird to share with the class. Then, I decided I was going to run a half-marathon, which I would have been running this Saturday, but that was a miserable process, and I thought why be miserable? So, then I decided to go to my favorite exercise class, Pure Barre everyday and this made me feel happy, alive, and rejuvenated. I also mentioned in my presentation that this past year has been a little rough for me. I have been dealing with a very messy break up (or as I referred to it in class-- a divorce.) We were together for nine-years and I found it very difficult to get over this ever since we broke up last January, but slowly but surely I am doing much better. It sounds silly, but this is why I started my quote project. I love reading inspirational quotes as they really help me in my own life!
So, once again, this was truly a very interesting course, and I would really recommend it to anyone at the University of Michigan. Thank you for an amazing semester, Thylias :)
