And one last post...

Well, folks, here we are at the end. This is our last week of Student Success Seminar--we'll finish up your final reflection presentations, talk about class evaluations, and discuss anything else that seems to need discussing. Our time together isn't really over of course--I'll still see you in Music History every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for the rest of the semester, and Jason will still be in his Chaplain's office, ready to dispense counseling and thoughts and balm for the soul.

For your final blog (due by 11:00 pm this Friday, November 16), please type up thoughts about your final reflection presentations--the actual content of who you were, who you've become, and who you hope to be, as well as how you decided to impart that information to the rest of the class. If you can include pictures, videos, or transcriptions of your work, all the better. And finally, before you leave for Thanksgiving Break next Tuesday (and, please, do remember that the break doesn't begin on Tuesday until your final class/lesson/rehearsal is over) leave a last round of comments on your classmates' blogs (at least five comments, all on these last blog posts) and leave a comment on this blog post telling me whose blogs you commented on.

Finally, let me tell you that I've really enjoyed getting to know you all this semester. I know it sounds a bit mom-ish, but I'm really proud of all of you. Some of you have had to really examine your lifestyles, or your goals, or your commitments to yourselves. And yet you all keep on keeping on, becoming ever more yourselves.
