Reflections

This has been an interesting semester, to be sure. I began this class with a hatred of what I perceived to be grammar. I was taking this class to better my understanding of the English language, and I am positive that this class has helped me in this pursuit. I learned how to diagram a sentence (though I still have a long path ahead of me), what an appositive and a relative clause were, and the various patterns of sentences, like NP1 verb Adjective, for example. The things I have picked up over these last few months may not be at the fore of my brain in the coming years, but I am sure that somewhere, buried in the rat's nest that is my mind, I will still be able to access it when the situation calls for it.
