End of an era

Ahhhh yes, 10 weeks of required blogging is finally coming to an end. When I started this, I was pretty sure that I'd be leaping for joy while typing this last one. I had somewhat of an "F* Blogs" kind of mentality, because I felt that most people just blog b/c they just LOVE to hear themselves talk and they think other people should be listening to them at all times. Then, I realized that I missed my calling, because I AM one of those people! So, that being said, writing this blog that my class instructor (thanks Ms. Smith for all the nice comments) and no one else reads has been fairly enjoyable. Not to mention, I just took the GMAT and kicked the crap out of the verbal section, and much of that has to do with instruction in this class and writing this blog. So BOOYA!

If you have read my blog this semester, you know that I've had a tough couple months. I don't mean to say that writing this blog has cured all my feelings of loss and sadness, but it definitely provided me another outlet and for that I am thankful. Things have settled down on that front and I do feel a little better. Everyone knows that there are those moments when it all comes WHOOSHING back, but for the most part, we're soldiering on.

When I read my previous entries, I realize that most of them are at least a little pretentious. I'm not 100% positive if that was intended or not, but I surely sound like quite the know-it-all. But, then again, I think that's the part of the blog that I just wrapped my arms around and embraced because it is so me! I've said a few times in my entries that I'll make them short, and when I go back and look, most of them are like 6 paragraphs or something. C'mon, who wants to read that much? But, I love to hear myself talk/type so the info just keeps flowing. But, tonight, I will hold true to my word and end here.

Oh wait, I haven't talked about politics yet. F* politics and f* politicians. I get all my world news from ESPN.

What's that you say? You want me to write a haiku about blogs? okaaaaaaay...I'm really going to be done after this though.

Feigning emotion
Or maybe it's all sincere

    Phillip,

    What a testimonial! Thanks, but I'm sure you kiced the crap out of that test because you were motivated to do it.

    Yes, you've had a difficult semester, but you've managed to do what you needed to. Your mother is proud of you; I know it.

    The problem with no one reading your blog except me is that you're at the bottom. Most people pick the blogs at the top. Next semester, I'm going to tell my 226 students to start at the bottom when the respond to posts.

    I've enjoyed reading them. Good luck to you! Keep in touch.

    Hello Philip,

    I suppose I should introduce myself since shamefully, this is the first time I've visited your blog. Hi, I'm Kourtney Washington, a fellow classmate from English 226. I'm really kicking myself for not going down the list and reading everyone's blogs at least once, because I've been missing out on some very interesting tales.

    You are a great writer Philip! I actually laughed out loud when I read "F* Blogs"! You're a funny guy! It's my loss that I didn't visit your blog sooner. But, I'm a follower now, so you'll definitely be on my radar (that is, if you decide to maintain your blog any further.)

    Be well Philip, and thanks for the laugh!
    -Kourtney Washington
