A Modest Proposal

I never thought it could switch so suddenly. I was always a math and science person. Everything was finite and had already been determined for me. There was no "wallowing in complexity"... only formulas and laws to be memorized. It seemed so simple. Then came high school and I think my brain switched. In fact, I am sure that my brain switched. The periodic table no longer created the comforting and wonderous feeling it once had. Instead I found myself loving the satiric creations of Jonathan Swift and wanting to respond to articles I read to give my view on the subject.

When the idea of taking English in college occurred to me I had mixed feelings. Although i do love to read and write, my common conception of English 101 was filled with horrible thoughts of essay writing and boring book upon boring book. But I am glad to announce that so far that is a misconception. I was both surprised and pleased to discover that my English class is  both engaging and interesting. Not only does it incorporate watching clips of some of my favorite sketch comedy and cartoons to drive home a point but it also incorporates the rise in digital literacy. Taking a Hybrid course means les time in the classroom leaving a student like me more time to explore the things I love instead of feeling weighed down by excessive busy work. 

I have a modest proposal, All English 101 classes should be like this.
