Final Thoughts on Blogs and English Class


So here it is, the final blog in my high school. Just like any other blog, I have nothing creative to write about so I guess I will write about how I feel about blogs and the class in general.
Surprisingly, I enjoyed writing blogs (if I had a good topic to write about). It gave me an opportunity to discuss the themes present in my favorite game Final Fantasy X, analyze the lyrics in "Virtual Insanity" by Jamiroquai, and explain why The Count of Monte Cristo is basically the best book to be ever written. While writing about these highly interesting topics were entertaining, I must admit, the other blogs were boring to write. I went on tangents and filled it with fluff just to reach the word limit. But I must say that blogging was a unique experience, and I hope to do it in the future. In fact, I am planning to do one during this summer on the food that I encounter in Japan.
So, now onto the reflection of the class. This year’s English class was truly a different experience than my previous English classes in many different ways. It definitely had the most homework by far, and the material covered in class was by far the hardest in my English career. However, the class itself was interesting and it made me think about concepts in a way that I have never thought of before. I still remember the debate that we had about existentialism that lasted the whole class. I would not mind continuing that debate after the AP exam.
This year's English class, along with senior year as a whole, has prepared me greatly for college. I can’t wait to spend the next four years at Berkeley. I might blog here and then, I don't know. But until then, see you later!
