Reflection: What I enjoyed, what could be improved, what I didn't like

     Time flies!!! Our first quarter has nearly ended, or should I say it's ending today? I enjoyed my British Literature class but there're still few improvements that could be done both by myself and the teacher perhaps. I think what I need to do to succeed in this class is to just read more outside of class to build up my comprehension skills since they're important in the future when I leave for college too. I also think that maybe I should get a macbook since vista is so slow and it takes half a century to just turn on the computer and get the internet connection going, which makes it hard for me to write journals and I really don't have the time to get upset over technical issues. What I really like about the class is that we got a chance to do a filming project, which was fun actually.
    From all the stories we've read in class, I liked the Canterbury Tales compared with the Anglo-Saxon poems and Medieval ballads. The Canterbury Tales was itself interesting and engaging. I just hoped that we have a chance to read the other characters' tales rather than just the Wife of Bath and the Pardoner's tales. On the other hand, I didn't like the riddles and the Anglo-Saxon poetry. I thought riddles are boring and the poetry was more on the "depressed" side. I'm depressed enough already I don't want to get more pessimistic. (hahaha) Watching the Pardoner's tale group act out the story was also entertaining, I enjoyed it. But the midterm slaughtered everyone in the class. It was frightening.

Good reflection Holly. I'll try to keep the more depressive pieces off our study list. :)
