Where to go from here

   After putting the finishing touches on the final paper, I asked myself a few days later what the next step should be in terms of english classes to take. So with that decision comes some deliberating over how well this class went overall and if I should continue doing more writing and such done in this class.
   I will say that the project that I look back on with the most fond memories is the multimedia project where we chose from a film, podcast, etc.. There was a lot of room for the creative juices to flow and I really enjoyed letting my inner designer let loose. Another aspect that helped was that the video I ended up making was pretty well received, if people did not appreciate my kind of humor than this blog post would be heading in a very different direction.
   All of the other projects just did not really resonate with me as well as the multimedia one. It's just once there's a bunch of criteria with very few ways to fulfill it then I start to lose the enjoyment in doing the work. To expand a little the article on templates addressed the issue that their templates may hinder creative thought, and the same goes for some of the assignments in this class. The powerpoint was nice because it made the transition from paper to presentation, but it limited the audience which narrowed the way it could be made. Now I probably do not know best when it comes to designing a class and I have nothing against doing assignments with certain rules in place, but it's just not something that I could see myself doing for fun or as an integral part of a job.
   With all of this being said, I do appreciate all of the things this class has taught me, even though it may have not been in the most ideal way for my personal tastes. As I'm writing this now I feel like maybe I'm complaining a little too much and whining that the class was not absolutely perfect in my eyes. The fact is I now know what I may want to take for my future english classes, and those are the ones that have less boundaries.
