those uwm speakers

they were pretty cool people. i didn't feel like i learned a lot about what would go on in a college english course but i did get a lot of background info on their classes specifically. i liked the idea of doing more compositon stuff and less text anaylsis. i like commentaries just as much as the next kid but after doing that for two years straight it gets old, i haven't gotten to write a poem or short story or anything creative since 10th grade it seems like. theres the every now and then creative thing like the pun dealy but besides that not much. i liked how they focused on, what's that word uhhhhh, oh, academic writings rather than the kind of literature we study in class, that was good. i think i would like to get away from that kind of thing and focus on things that were written by students or just average joes.
