Lets be Rreal

This has been an amazing semester for me. Iv'e had more fun in the past 16 weeks than Iv'e had in school anywhere else. Though the complaints are far and few between, and I mean few, there is still some things I could see some improvement in.

lets start with the good and work our way down shall we?

Because highschool is so hard to let go of sometimes, college can be very overwhelming but don't get discouraged... I promise you it's not as bad as it seems. the change is there to help you grow and establish good work ethics, a solid foundation for building a responsible and seriously honing your beer pong game... hahaha just kidding... but really your death cup shot rate will increase dramatically. though there is no better way to get out and enjoy college life to it's fullest there's a lot of work ahead of you. All of the "pre-req's" and "gen ed" credits suck a lot of ass but there's really nothing you can do about it so bite your tounge and bear it, it'll make your later schooling a breeze once you have the routine down. but that's why I liked this class so much.

it's not your typical listen to a lecture from a man that's so old he watched Jesus's birth, it's fresh and inspiring. there is so monotone man behind a desk and three hours of taking notes (excelent time to take a nap because usually when you're in this position, everything you need to know is in your 700 lb. text book.) Paul's class is a lot of fun and energetic but still has an academic atmosphere. kind of like home if you like the discovery channel. i learned some stuff like the ethos, logos, and pathos of writing can really make a difference in your writing, for example...

ETHOS- a man is broken down on the side of the road and is clearly in distress. Upon seening the situation a tow truck driver pulls over and for no charge, hitches up the man's car and tows him back to his house. a.k.a. morallity

LOGOS- 70% of all statistics are false... a.k.a. numbers

PATHOS- i can't really think of a good example right now but yeah... a.k.a. feelings

Good thing i know this now that Iv'e finished the 111 course. on top of that cool stuff the atmosphere in the class roon boils down to one word... fun. this class is a lot of fun. plain and simple. from cracking jokes to having in depth conversations about home child birth it's fun to partisipate and debate your views against classmates and even Paul himself.

But the one thing that I would change is the fact that the class room had no windows and the assignment scedualing. I'm too A.D.D. to not have windows but that's a personal preference. the assignments on th other hand are quite a handfull if you're not used to blaskboard but Paul's gotten better at using the anouncements so i don't think is should be a problem.

All in all, fun class and awesome experience. I know I'm gonna miss this class because Paul is a good teacher and ass kissing doesn't really work all that much. So if you get a chance to get a spot in his class, take it. You won't be dissapointed.
