What a ride...

This class was exceptional. At first I was intimidated by both my classmates, and the material. Shakespeare is not an easy read, and that book is not one I see my self getting cozy by the fire with. But, as I learned in this class, it is a book that cannot only provide me with beautiful poems and tragic plays, it also can show me who I am.

Through Shakespeare's works, we are allowed to see not only who we are, but what our potential is. We can morph into new characters, because after all, all the world's a stage and all the men and women are merely players. We are all acting. Whether we like it or not, we change around other people and we put on different faces at home, school, and work. This is not a bad thing, in fact, it just makes us better for the future. We learn to change and adapt because it helps us survive in a world where you never know what is coming your way. We constantly see the characters change who they are either to save themselves, or to save others.

So thanks Bill. It was a great ride, and I'm sad go. I'm sad that I can no longer talk of "nothing" with my classmates, and be amazed that we actually did make it full circle with all of the other fun facts Dr. Sexson likes to throw in to the mix. I'm sad I will no longer be enlightened by my brilliant peers... until next semester I suppose.

I hope to see you all in future classes.

Thank you.
