Until we meet again...

Dear EGL 101-036,

I don't know if any of you are going to check this blog again. This past semester was my first at Oakton, and it's been a huge switch from high school: Olivia is the only teacher who I felt cared more about me than how well I did in class, and Comp 101 is the only class in which I honestly feel like I started to get to know other students. I probably didn't realize this until yesterday when I got the sudden urge to catch people on the way out and trade e-mail addresses. I think part of this is because we had leaders; each person, no matter his or her comfort range, got to express ideas in class.

Well, anyway, to cut the sappy crap short, hopefully I'll see you all around next semester! (You should take Olivia's EGL 129 next semester -- but save some room for me!) Have a great winter break, all!

P.S. After our discussions on technology, I'm hesitant to mention that I'm on facebook... but I am, so look me up!
