And that’s all she wrote!
This is the final blog post of the semester; can you believe it? I can’t. With the exception of my Biography, this website is complete, and I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out.
I’ve worked harder this semester than any semester so far in college, and even though I don’t have that final grade yet, I’d like to think it paid off. These last few weeks have been some of the most stressful in recent memory, but with finals right on the horizon (two days away), the light at the end of the tunnel keeps getting brighter and brighter.
One week from today I will be stress-free, fully ready to get into the Christmas spirit.
Even though I’m very excited for English 305 to be done and over with, I’m aware that I will benefit greatly from having taken this class (as we’ve been told many times by Dr. Pennington). I have really developed my writing skills while learning so much about literature. Without this class, I don’t think I ever would’ve read The Awakening or “The Story of an Hour,” so if I could take just one thing from 305, it would be the wonderful works of Kate Chopin.
In the end, I decided to revise my New Historical essay one more time to be able to put it in my Presentation Portfolio. Because of this, I retired my Reader Response paper, forgoing any further revisions. I think it was important for me to put my New Historical essay in my final portfolio because it’s the essay that changed the most over the course of the revisions. It started off as my weakest paper, in my opinion, and became one of my strongest.
So the final four essays in my portfolio are my Close Reading, Psychoanalytic, Gender Studies, and New Historical. I feel very happy and proud of all of them and am really excited to share them.
Update on Tottenham for those of you who care: We put up a disgusting performance against Man. United at Old Trafford last Wednesday and lost 2-1. It was not a fun match to watch, as Dele was the only fairly respectable player on the pitch. Like, Dele is truly great, but he can’t win matches by himself.
BUT.
This morning, we absolutely crushed Burnley 5-0. Two goals from Harry Kane, one from Sonny (probably the best goal in the Premier League so far this season), one from Lucas, and one from Sissoko (GOAT) = a very happy Anna.
I don’t quite know how Mourihno has turned us around so entirely, but I hope he keeps it up because I’m liking what I’m seeing. Spurs are back to winning ways, and there’s nothing better.
Alright, that’s all from me! If you’ve read all my blog posts, I sincerely thank you for coming along on this journey with me. I hope you enjoy reading my final essays!
