EVENT

I totally forgot to post about my second out of class experience. So, every second Friday night of each month Old Towne Petersburg holds something called "Friday Night For the Arts".  I used to go with my parents when I was younger, but I actually just went last month. It's so awesome to see the corner of the city come alive with all sorts of talented people, from painters to musicians it's all there.  They just play their music and sometimes people give them money. And there's a little art exhibition down there displaying art from local artists which I think is pretty cool.  Its neat that they're getting their stuff out there like that. I'm sure they all really appreciate the people coming just to see their work. My family and I really enjoy it. We'll probably go again next Friday!

Portfolio

I really wish I could have gotten really into blogging this semester. Maybe I will one day.  I don't plan on deleting it or anything.  But anyways, I thought that this whole portfolio thing was going to be so much harder to finish.  I think I'm finally done though.  I really appreciate Sweeny's contract grading option for this class. It was nice to know that if you tried your best and completed everything that a teacher was actually appreciating the effort of their students, instead of grading them numerically on writing; which is a very opinionated thing to put a grade on.  I also liked the interaction aspect of the class.  There's nothing like Sweenglish!

Thanks everyone for a great semester!
