The END has come my friends...Let us REFLECT

Well, its been a jam-packed 10 weeks to say the least. As i look back, what first comes to mind? Probably observing all the faces on the first...no the second day, which was my first. And at that time i thought to my self, for i remember thinking the thought, "which ones out of this group will i know that much better at the end?" And now, i realize what i did realize then: It is the travesty of the quarter system; relationships only truly begin to bud. And now at the end i am again reaffirmed i nthe fact. A few good friends i have made, a few more aquaintances...but in the end, almost all these fellow students i would have liked to get to know better, but this is the world that we live in. Any way, since the full reflection on this blog is optional, i just figured id share a few thoughts instead, not necessarily linked with the final group project.
The truth of it is simple. to learn, one must humble himself enough to admit that there is still material yet to be learned. Although this may seem an obvious fact at first but when it comes down to it, in the classroom this is why some students do fail. Realizing that you actually have things, practical things, that you need to learn will make all the difference. When i started here at UCD about a year and a third ago now, i hadnt learned this lesson. Now, i know, i have learned the hard way, but im better for it. so, i thank Mr. Hageman, for his teaching this quarter, i thank all my fellow students for a great quarter. Hit me up! ill be around.
PEACE! and merry christmas people! Here is the link to our online youtube final group project:
