I would just like to say that I really appreciate the format and approach you took when teaching this class. I like how you showed us cool songs every day at the beginning of class and I like how you took the time to have heart to heart(s) talks with us about life lessons. You were a very good influence from the academic world, in sharp contrast with the systematic and impersonal teachers that I've had in the past. In the middle of this semester, I was beginning to take school and life in general a little to seriously. I was getting upset with my life situation. I sort of felt trapped in all of the bullshit that I perceived to be the majority of what going to college to get a degree to get a good job to pay for "stuff" was all about. I was dissatisfied with how my life was going to say the least. I felt I was squandering my true potential by working so hard at school and putting my passion on the back burner. However, after listening to a couple of your lectures about life and not getting caught up in all of the bullshit, it helped remember that opportunity is everywhere and I am not hindered by the things I thought were holding me back, but rather, I hold the key to my own happiness and my own satisfaction. It's all about living in the now. The right here, right now, and seeing the inherent beauty in the way life and the cosmos moves. The earth laughs in flowers as Ralph Waldo Emerson said. I will laugh too.
