The class has been asked to do a blog answering the question I feel students are asked all too often: which career we plan to pursue, and how this class may help us pursue it.
I don't know what I want to do anymore. I don't enjoy any subject other than Literature, but my writing is not particularly astounding, especially my first person. However, I feel language is the only arbitrary thing I or, as well as I know, anyone can partake in. An escape from the uncontrollable world to a mental location which allows one to create a universe that abides to reason or doesn't claim it. This is what makes me want to write, but I fear notoriety will never be gained; I'm no Wilde, Kafka or Salinger, even.
Anyway, to the second half of the question, how this class can help me. Well, practice with the first person through these blogs has been nice. Although, my more formally written works will still be in the third, as they should. Also, I assume I will end up in, what will feel to me, a soul devouring job which will require some level of technological savvy.
All apologies if this seems a bit pessimistic; I'm usually much more positive.
