Last and final post!
Ok well since we did not have any readings this week I'm not sure what I am supposed to post about! I'll just say that I have throughly enjoyed this class this class this semester! It was my first online class and I have to say, Professor Hochenaur was very good and helpful. Any time I emailed him a question, he got right back to me very shortly. Before, I thought that I would never take an online class, but now I know differently! It has been fun working with all of you and good luck on Finals!!

week 7....it's almost over!!
I can not believe that we only have 1 more week left..that seems so crazy!! It has flown by! This week we have read some very disturbing and dark pieces of work. Some of them very hard to understand and take in. I enjoyed reading Mrs. Dalloway the most, because all throughout high school I had always heard of it, but just never got around to reading it. It was very interesting. It covers one day from morning to night in one woman's life. Clarissa, an upper-class housewife, walks through her London neighborhood to prepare for the party she will host that evening. When she returns from flower shopping, an old suitor and friend, Peter, drops by her house unexpectedly. The two have always judged each other harshly, and their meeting in the present intertwines with their thoughts of the past. Years earlier, Clarissa refused Peter’s marriage proposal, and Peter has never quite gotten over it. Peter asks Clarissa if she is happy with her husband, Richard, but before she can answer, her daughter, Elizabeth, enters the room. Peter leaves and goes to Regent’s Park. He thinks about Clarissa’s refusal, which still obsesses him. This was just the start of the book, it veres off in all directions from here and is all over the place. Hope everyone has a great week!
