It's over. In all honesty, though, I don't think I'll miss AP Comp. Sure, I'll feel nostalgic, and I'll wish I could redo some assignments. But I won't miss writing essays or blog posts about things I'm not passionate about. I'm sorry that I don't write for fun, but I'm simply not a writer. You may wonder why I took AP Comp then. I only wanted to prove that I'm capable of writing, and I'm still not sure if that happened. Regardless, I've learned plenty (As I look back, I see this as a bit of non sequitor, evidence of my incomplete writing education).
I've learned not to wait for inspiration to strike before starting a project; it never will.
I've learned that stating something explicitly is actually safer than implying.
I've learned that some things simply can't be rushed.
I'm glad I learned these lessons, even though I'm still catching up on sleep lost and looking at my GPA makes me feel lightheaded. AP Comp has made me a better person and an OK writer. I will consider continuing my blog, but I'm sure Mrs. Cardona's right. I had plenty of difficulty blogging when it was required; a grade was often the only incentive. If I manage to find the inspiration and time to continue, I will, probably on Be Controversial. For now, however, this post is my swan song.
Mrs. Cardona, thank you for a great learning experience.
