This is It

Well this is it people!! =...( This is my final blog... I would first just like to say this has been a wonderful semester due to this class!! This was the first class I had in my college career. I have learned so much and it has honestly been a joy to have Dr. Smith as my professor. Her kindness means so much more than anyone can ever know. Learning about lenses, FANBOYS, citations, Aladdin Research Portal and so much more cannot be summed in one blog. I will definitely take what I have learned in UW 20 and apply it everyday throughout my GW academic career. Although the wisest mind has learned so much, the wisest mind has something yet to learn...

Book Review

Wow! thats all I can say about the blog turned book Juile and Julia. I dont even know where to begin... this was a very nice book. It has a very light tone and keeps the reader enertained but was it an excellent writing? Should this had stayed as a blog? Personally I enjoyed the book, I went into the reading with the knowledge that the author has no previous professional experience in writing. In other words, I went into the reading with a low expectation. I feel that when I review the book that I will state that I LOVED the book. Although the book has its fault I am not aware of any book that doesn't. My favorite parts of the book were the incoporation of food into one's personal life. I also feel that because this used to be a blog it has more personalization from the author. Also the "conversation" that Julie makes with her audience brings the audience deeper into her reading. But even the wisest mind has something yet to learn. Until next time.........
