Benefits of English 652

When I left this morning I told my kids I wouldn’t be home until after they are in bed… again. They gave me the sad faces, and whined, “When are you going to be done with that class?” Total guilt feelings on my end. I reassured them it was for only three more weeks (“27 days” as my 1st grader calculated- which is then interpreted as “27 more sleeps” from my 5 year old!)

I’ve definitely given up family time for this class, but in the long run I believe it has been a good experience. I’ve already applied lessons that I’ve learned in Eng 652 in my high school classes. I’ve visualized how I can further incorporate more lessons. It has been a valuable experience thus far, I don’t doubt that. I’ve addressed many of my insecurities and have moved past some of them. If it weren’t for this class I may not have created a Facebook page and reconnected with many former friends. So there have been “side benefits” to having had taken this class as well.
