As the end of the semester is winding down and I look back at how much work I did I am shocked at how much I actually accomplished and how I thought that in the beginning it was too much for me to handle. I’m definitely glad that I pushed through all the hard work and stuck with it instead of dropping the class like I thought. Before the class, I knew nothing of archetypes or the monomythic journey. Now, I can pick them out in everyday situations. This class gave me a lot of motivation overall. I really expected to hate it and I did hate it at the beginning but now I am glad that I took it and I see that all my hard work was worth it and it wasn’t just pointless busy work. So, overall, I really enjoyed the class.

Besides being done with the class, I am also done with Middlesex. I thought the book was pretty good overall. I didn’t like it at first and I thought that it started a little slow but as it moved onward it really picked up. I did like the ending of it though and how the family (for the most part) found out about the truth about Cal. Also, I really liked how he got to prove to Desdemona that he was a boy and she finally got to realize that her spoon wasn’t wrong afterall.
