Semester Reflection

I'm not sure if any one else is thinking the same thing, but I am thoroughly enjoying this class and I look forward to what ever we are going to learn in the future. I continually had spontaneous, seemingly random deep thoughts and realizations during 3rd and many of those inspirations became blog posts at one point or another. I George can attest to the fact that I think a lot about life and society and other things I would never normally think about, and I enjoy it. It feels as though I continually have my mind blown of a weekly basis, and I love it. This class has been so interesting, and it isn't just Fletch doing a great job or good material and lesson plans, although those are true too. It's all of us who make the class so great. We have a couple big personalities in the room so discussions are sometimes very one sided, but over all we have a good group of people who all have different view points and opinions, and although we all didn't get to participate in Socratic Seminar, almost everyone posted on the blog about ideas and realizations they had, but never got a chance to say. This shows that while we may struggle with speaking out in class, at least we have good ideas and things to contribute. I think we had a great semester together and in a way I'm excited to try sitting at new tables, although I do like my current table a lot. I think next semester however we should try to push ourselves and each other to speak up in class more and to give others a chance to speak if we find ourselves being the only one who is ever talking. Overall I feel great about our class and I can't wait to start off the new semester with you all on Monday!
