Because I am finally done with college. This is my last ever academic assignment, though I have to admit I am still not that good in writing blog after 15 weeks of practicing. Now, I am two finals away from my big milestone this weekend.
I have to say that Eng201 is one of my many classes that I did not anticipate very much at first but surprisingly end up learning many new things. I really enjoyed attending the class even though I was normally quiet in class. I love going class and just listened to others as there are still so many things I am still learning about this country and culture here. Other than that, my first ever blog was in this class. Not to mention I have never blogged before, not even in my best language, Chinese. I have to admit I was a little annoyed to blog and respond every week at first. After few practices, I think I blogged more fluently now. However, I still feel blogging is not something I will do naturally due to my personality. I also enjoyed more in writing after taking this class. Not only discovering many kinds of writing style other than academic research paper, but also few things to notice when listening to a speech. All these skills make my listening experience more pleasurable and interesting. In the end, other than surviving all the amount of writing in this class, I am glad I did learn a lot out of this class.
This class also sums up my two and half year experience in the States. I worked as a group, practiced on different kinds of writing, had class in and out of classroom, and listened to many public issues. I even think my class began and ended at the same building, as I took ESL117 in my first semester and now another writing class, which both were in Helen C. White.
Now leaving school, I am still unsure where my future lies ahead as I still have not found a full time job. One thing I have already planned is taking a break and visit around. Somehow the current flu epidemic has rendered my planned. Hopefully, things will still work out as planned. My family is coming for my graduation. I am excited; they have a chance to know my life here and enjoy this nice Madison. After that, we are visiting California and I will fly to Europe to visit my brother and some friends before going back home. If any of you have the chance to visit Malaysia, I am more than happy to guide you around.
Coming here is definitely not a choice to regret of. I have so much experience and stories to share with friends back home now. The whole experience here is really great. I have made many good friends, which I know they will be lifelong. I have visited many beautiful places in the States, the East coast and a totally crazy road drive to Las Vegas. I have experienced the party culture in Madison, of course, the Halloween State Street and Mifflin block party that I never missed. Every experience is priceless and will be remembered for life. Now, I am moving on to the next stage of my life. Out of school, I wish I could still enjoy as much as I could.
Until next time,
CY
