I merely wanted
to write a final farewell blog to my fellow classmates. Having switched into
the class the day after classes began, I must say, I’m quite pleased with how
my decision turned out! It was probably the most enjoyable course I had this
semester, and was one of the few courses in my post-secondary career to have
pulled me out of my usual comfort zone. The class was made up of quite a
diverse student body, and I’m all the better for having met you all!
I was lucky
enough to get to know the handful of students I did, and regret that I didn’t
have enough time to better acquaint myself with my other classmates. To be
honest, I have too many stories to share about everyone to succinctly fit into
one blog and wish I had time to reminisce about them all. I will do my best to
mention those that come most prominently to mind.
Thank you to
Thomas for our enjoyable and even hysterical political chats, and our shared
sense of humor. Thank you to Justin for the amusing tales about my sibling as
well as your charming view of life. Thank you to Kevin for a daily boost of
entertainment both inside and out of the classroom. Thank you to Laura for sharing
in the same form of sarcastic and cynical humor that we both know and love. Thank
you to Mohammed for your hilarious attitude towards work and those that we work
with. Thank you to Jude for proving that you’re more than just a reference to a
popular Beatles song. Thank you to Talal for always having a smile to brighten
up my day and an encouraging word to fuel the fire under my feet. Thank you to
Melissa for your lovely demeanor and positive attitude every single day! Thank
you to Bruce for sharing your knowledge and experience with those of us who
will appreciate it further on down the road of life. Thank you to Karen for
sharing her life experiences and her position as a role model in the class. Thank
you to Adrienne for proving that height and humor go hand in hand quite
perfectly! Thank you to Christina for our shared love of life, but more
importantly, our shared love of food. Thank you to Haley for your enthusiasm
and quirkiness both towards reality television and reality itself! Most of all, thank you to Professor MacMillan for your unique approach to life and teaching. Thank you for making the classroom an environment for interaction and growth, rather than the closed lecture method with which we are all familiar.
I wish I had the chance to get to know all of you better, but unfortunately time did not permit as such. I apologize for not having a memory to share about all of you, but rest assured that you all made the class a joy to behold. I hope that all of you enjoyed whatever element I may have added to the course, and that you all have some sort of memory to equate with me. I wish everyone the best of luck in their futures and hope everyone has a magnificent summer! Good luck on your exams! May you all live long and prosper. Huzzah!
If anyone is still checking these blogs, I thought I'd share a little Murphy magic with you.
