Esem Video

Well, well, it's all over now. I guess not really all of it since I'm still writing on Serendip (I really don't think it's as bad as I said in the video) and we still have two papers (or one paper and a reflection) due in a portofolio, but we did in fact have our last class and it was an interesting one at that.

For our presentation, we chose to make a point of not as much the material we covered in class, but how we lived the material- how we evolved and created our own culture in doing so. The video was full of inside jokes, for example the haul to Paulie G's (another inside joke) office, and other aspects that made our Esem as great as it was. A big thank you to Kayla for all her editing! 

Anyways, as for all the presentations, doing them together showed me something I didn't expect- that we learned the same thing in both classes. Though we do not emphasize the "turtles all the way down" the way they did, I was surprised to see the other class talk about all the material we had talked about... as if I had expected their experience to be TOTALLY different than ours. Kind of makes me think we had less of an impact on our learning than I thought. Maybe the individual really doesn't effect the culture. Jk jk. ;)

I guess, in conclusion, I'm really thankful that I ended up in the Esem with the super long name and feel priviliged to have met such intelligent young (and some older, haha just kidding Julie) women to share this experience with during our first semester in college. As for Paul, you're not done with me yet! See you next semester in Neuro... (long name too, I'm not typing it)!
