One of my most dreaded courses comes out near the top...

I started this semester disliking my Poetry class and the professor who teaches. It was the first time that he was teaching English at Saint Martin's and frankly about a third of the students dropped the class within the first two weeks. I probably would have dropped it except that I need it for my major. I could tell that he was excited about the subject, but he spewed out more information than we could process and he was very opinionated...which if your opinion didn't match his then you were wrong. BUT- the class has turned around...he allows for more open discussion of opinions now and I am happy to say that I have gotten A's on all of my papers. Which makes me even happier now that we have talked him into letting us do a final paper instead of an exam. I have 9 papers due in my classes within the next 2 weeks, but that means that I only have 3 finals out of my 6 classes! Good luck to all of those taking finals!
