Today marks my last day of school and work at the University of North Carolina. I felt like I should drink from the Old Well before my last class. Then there was Krispy Kreme. What better way to end it then with donuts? Class was a critique and donuts followed by the showing of our blogs. The first critique was an interesting satire. To make fun of how much control Michael Jordan has, the author wrote a fictional report about how MJ was working to make a comeback and play for the Bobcats. For a second, I thought I was really out of touch with the NBA, then I read a few lines/quotes that let me know it's fictional.
I now have over 100 pages views because my blog is clearly awesome and since I'm the only one who posted mine on the web that's 100 more page views than everybody else. Woo!
We shared our blogs, and Professor Crothers shared parts of our last stories. He had a lot of positive things to say about how our final stories showed how we improved in our writing abilities. I liked the part of my story that he decided to read to the class, which was an article about how teams ask for taxpayer money to help build their stadiums or threaten to move.
One line I like in particular, about how the New York Yankees had claimed they might move without a new Yankee Stadium:
"Are
they actually going to leave and head to another city? Where exactly would they
expect to make the same amount of money? I hear Schenectady, NY is just down
the road."
The rest of my classmates shared their blogs as well before it came to a close. As I prepare for the University of Iowa, my time as a Tar Heel in the classroom came to an end. I walked out, and it was a weird feeling. I had been here for 2 years and 7 months, and now it had come to a close. I had made many friends, had a few relationships, and had some other great experiences as a student and employee of this fine university. and while I would certainly be back to visit Chapel Hill, it would be different. At least it ended with donuts.
