Graf 20

If you notice, I did graf 21 before 20.  Because what started out as a paper about grafs and essays turned into a paper on my feelings about the class.  So this may repeat some of that.  I have always enjoyed writing; I can communicate better through the written word than orally.  My words become jumbled and I have a hard time speaking with others, but when I write, I feel free.  Some of the grafs and essays were hard to write, i.e., the ones concerning my family.  It is hard to lay bare your emotions and feel that you are being judged, even though it is on the structure and not content.  Well content too, but not about what you feel.  I really enjoyed the essays where I got to write about situations where I could interject some levity, such as the "Day in the Life" and "Hair" essay.  That was lots of fun.  I am glad I didn't try to clep this class as many had encouraged me to do.  I probably could have, the placement test proctor said she hardly ever saw a score as high as mine (not bragging, it is what it is).  But I would have lost out on so much if I had.  I've enjoyed your class, John.  (Looks like this one turned into a "21", too.
