Mid-Semester Reflection from Mark Lundh

Well, for this mid-semester reflection i have to state that this class hasn't happened the way I thought it was going to. I plannly thought this class was going to 80 % reading and 20% writing, which it totally wrong. This class is more or less a lot of writing and not a lot of reading. I think for me personally this class has gone fairly well, I'm mean there were times when I was bitting my nails on some of these essay's, especially the first essay. I had no clue about the song or how to write it, but I push on and was really glad to get that essay done. The second essay was by far the most enjoyable to write because it didn't take a lot of thought to come up with a subject to write and not to mention it was a local issue. It made me learn about the handicap situtation that is currently happening in the city of Gettysburg in a way that I would normal not give a care to learn, because I don't see it affecting me at all.
I think the ways I've grown in this class is the ability to push me past my discomfort levels and to reach into levels of my writing that I normally wouldn't reach on my own. Not only that but to deal with subject matters that I would brush off on my own, but with this class it has to be dealt with. Also I have grown as a person in my writing to few things in a different light and accept different views and to change my own personal ideas about things.
Five Goals for the Remainder of Class:
1) To keep on pushing my writing past that discomfort level I have
2) To have a better understanding of my writing and seeing where it's taking me in life
3) To further grown as a person trying to find a place in this world
4) To understand people views and to see where there coming from (regarding their ideas)
5) To further evolve my writing and finish all these essays on time
