Welcome to my Blog.

I hope that my blog about Colloquium might enlighten you a little bit about my personal experiences in this class. I will be adding to it from week to week as the semester progresses. I think that the blog will turn out to be a resourceful tool for me to use to monitor my own adventure from another persons perspective as I come bck to read it from time to time. Enjoy!

My final Reflections

I loved this class so much.  It is one I hate to see end.  I am sure I have mentioned before that I hated living here when I first moved here and after a while I settled in to acceptance, but now I genuinely like living here.  Knowing somethnig about the area makes me feel more like a part of the community I live in.  Makes it feel more like home.  I am sorry I missed the canoe trip!  If I could make any changes in the course, I might make it longer- like 2 semesters.  so much more to see, do, learn and be a part of.  I am sure not everyone would agree but it was an awesome experience for me. 
The only thing  I didnt like was all the various forms of technology we had to use.  I do understand it looks great on a resume, but I am afraid to put Wiki on any because I do not want anyone to assume that it is in any way an area I have mastered.   I love the blog and I think it would have been awesome for us to have jopined each others blogs to share thoughts and ideas.    I loved the Land Before Time.  I plan to keep the book and reread it again someday when I have time, now that I can actally visualize the settings as they would have seen it.  I struggled with understanding some of the hardships because I did not know what a land hammock was among other things.  I finished the book shortly after the semester started so I didnt have a clear memory of how it fell in sequence during the testing. 
I would toss the Colloquim reader out the door!  I say laughingly.  There were some things that I found interesting but some of the reading was so over my head or so dry that I needed a glass of milk with it to get it down.  I think I would have felt better about it, if I did not have to look up every other word in some of the readings.  It is hard to enjoy what you do not understand. 

I wish we could have went on a swamp buggy ride to see some of the wild life in its natural habitat.  I have to say laughingly, that I would add this just because I want to do it myself and I am sure that seeing the living nature would inhance ones appreciation for preserving their habitiat!
