Extra post for missing class

So I have to do an extra post every time I miss class…. Which happens to be a lot these days. I was having a hard time deciding what to write because I have blogged about all our recent readings. So I decided to write about what I feel I have learned so far or how my perspective has changed since talking this class.
First I was say that I am a senior and put of taking literature till my the last moment possible. I signed up for it three different times and always dropped the class because I knew I was just going to hate it. I am a very slow reader and have a hard time focusing so when I see huge readings like Shakespeare I get so freaked out I just don’t even start it because I know I’m going to be so bad at it. But looking at the outline for this class I felt like I would be able to make it through. Being able to write freely on these blogs has really encouraged me in my writing. Having reading that are short really helps me keep my attention and learn what we need to. The painting was one of the first time I really felt like I “connected with the text”. I had herd people say that before but I never really got it, but painting that one line from Joel I feel like I started to understand what that meant. How we talked about death and read C.S Lewis book gave me such great insight and really made me think. Even this recent reading on This Blessed House made me think so much about looking at people from God’s perspective. This class has helped me develop who I am as a reader, writer and thinker.  I will even say I am glad I took this class and think that I would have missed out if I never took it. So thanks to professor Corrigan for making this a class that is learner friendly for people like me!
