So, my readers...this is my last "official" entry for my class.
I want to thank Jeff Benedict for encouraging me throughout his class to learn to appreciate the world around me a little bit more, and to know how to became an active observer of what is going on in today's world.
All of my postings up until this point are now officially dubbed the "Benedict" pages.
The class was a glorious challenge and I feel that it stretched my "thinking muscles" and strengthened me in ways that I never would have thought of. He managed to take me down from my permanent location of sitting on the fence and actually make decisions and points, and forced me to learn how to defend my side. This is something that I've never been comfortable with, but now that I know how to jump down from off of that post, I think I'll do it a little bit more.
Jumping fences is more fun than just sitting on them and watch others jump them. I used to think that jumping fences was boring and tiring, that there was no point in tiring one's self out with all of that ridiculous leaping and frolicking.
However, I've discovered that it's not tiring. It is a constant recharging that comes with each leap and bound over to the field on the other side of that fence...but every now and again, I need to sit on that fence-post and remind myself that I will always, at heart, be an extreme objectivist...
(Except when it comes to horses)
Over and out.
