Revelations

Last blog. I'm not really sure what to talk about, it seems like we haven't been covering that much material in class lately. Or maybe its just that I don't care about LATA and all the other bullshit acronyms that we've been talking about. Anyway, since this is the last one, I figured I'd use it as an opportunity to reflect on the class in general and this assignment in particular.
While most of the class bitched up and down about the work load and writing the blogs, I have to say that I disagree. As someone who has been an undergrad since the end of the Clinton Administration (a lot of people go to college for seven years--yeah, they're called doctors), I can say from experience that it is not often that you'll take a class where you get to truly express your opinions. I mean, we got into some pretty heavy issues that fall under the umbrella of mass communications--the Holocaust, sexism, racism, war. And on each, we were each allowed to spout whatever insane opinion we wanted. Not many classes will give you the opportunity to do that. It was interesting to see where everyone stood on the controversial issues of the day. In a class where you get to honestly express what you think, it gives others a better understanding of who you are and where you're coming from, as well as exposing them to ideas that they may otherwise never considered.
As to the class in general, I thought it was a cake walk. Honestly, I don't know what y'all were complaining about all this time. I'll leave you with a piece of advice from someone who has breezed past the oft-attained rank of super-senior, to a level most of you will never know--the super duper senior x2. "It's college. Just do the work and shut the fuck up."
