Final Humanities Post

It's hard to believe that just a mere 15 weeks ago we as a class knew very little about each and other and for some myself included knew even less about Humanities.  This course afforded me an opportunity to research and explore what life might have been like for ancient civilizations.  From the prehistoric man to the fall of the Roman Empire and the Renaissance, I believe every outcome was met and possibly expanded.  The opportunity to visit the VMFA and view exhibits something I would not normally do was quite enriching.  My favorite topic would be The Greeks & Romans, from Pythagoras theorem that the universe could be understood by observing proportion to Leonardo DaVinci, to the infusion of Humanism, Realism, and Idealism and finally to the intricate architecture of The Parthenon.  I have had the most enjoyment of joining what I thought I knew of early civilizations with actual information and to dialogue with classmates and instructor are moments I will remember long after my scholastic career has concluded.

For quite some time I had been interested in the concept of blogging but never really had a reason to take a part in the practice.  I looked forward to each weeks topic of discussion.  I even started to blog whenever a good topic came to mind, I imagine I will continue to do so even after the course is completed, just got to figure out how to get more page interest and views.

Blogging was an enjoyable experience, it was a challenge to remember to stay on topic so most  weeks’ in addition to the class topic I also blogged about of f topic ideas.  As most of my classmates will attest I love to hear myself talk, strangely enough it was not so easy to turn that into a good blogging practice but after a few weeks I got the hang of it and now in addition to journaling I also blog.  While I’m not sure if I will I hope that I will continue to blog as it gives me a chance to take what I’m thinking and put out there for others to read (the people in my head assure me we will continue to blog).

My least favorite part of blogging was sticking to the topic of the week’s discussion.  I guess I consider myself an abstract blogger, if I think it then I’ll write about it.  My favorite part would have to be being able to just allow myself to post on some of the things I normally keep to myself, now I have an outlet, and I can't wait to use it next.  P
