Tis the season!
This semester will be over when Christmas arrives, but I want to wish all my instructors and classmates a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year while I have the chance. I will miss you. Endings can be sad. Endings can also be happy, however. I will be happy to get these finals out of the way. Especially algebra. I am anxious to get the ethnology paper finished, but not because I dread working on it. I want to see what it turns out like too! I have had a good time working on this paper. I have learned a lot about the life and times of the Nuernberger family and their farm. I have heard so many stories that have made me laugh. Some are serious, but mostly I have come to realize that this family is all about enjoying life and appreciating each other and their friends. They are all willing to help anyone anytime. I don't think I will ever run out of questions about this farm and family, even when my paper is finished. There is so much to learn and so much history. I am so glad I chose this subject. The hard part is eliminating certain things! I don't have time to write a whole novel right now! Maybe someday. Who knows? The worst part is that English class will be finished before I get to witness an actual butchering season or planting season. Oh well. Such is life. Seasons come and seasons go.

I know exactly what you mean by not being able to wait until the class is finished. I also am looking forward to the end result of your paper. I have been extremely interested in your subject and have been eagerly awaiting the section with some of the family stories.
ReplyDeleteAlso, who says that your research and writing about this farm has to end simply because the class that got you started is ending? It would be so neat to keep learning about this family and farm. Maybe as you get to know them, you might write more about them and add that information to your finished paper. However you decide, I hope that you will keep posting about your experiences.
i know exactly how you feel im so ready for the end of this.
