This semester in English 2100, I have learned more than I expected to. Compared to High School English classes, I feel college English classes are more open and broad. We did not have to read old texts and analyze some still literary elements and techniques. We simply had to do readings to formulate our own opinions and and from time to time talk about them and debate a for a while. Reading essays in the New Humanities Reader was more of a chance to connect and and get to know some things I did not. I enjoyed the wide selection of readings, especially Meat and Milk Factories and Power of Context.

The class taught me how to write college essays, which I feel have more of my voice and analysis than anything other type of paper I’ve written. Without a doubt, I will be writing shitty first drafts from now on because it just gets ideas down on paper and no one cares about the first draft as long as you do it. These last 2 weeks will be hectic, writing the final paper and balancing the other course’s works as well. Writing papers are shouldn’t be a problem but I know Pre-Cal is something to worry about :[
