Signing off… :(

Well, technically, this blog will still be here (I’m assuming so, anyway) after this class is over, so there isn’t really a goodbye…but I’m going to go ahead and give a good-bye/reflection post for the class.S
It’s been a great semester with everyone! One of the great things about college that I’ve discovered in my short time here is the openness and sense of community input that most classes tend to have, and ours went above and beyond in that regard!
It was amazing to be able to have a conversation-oriented understanding of what we were studying instead of the standard written lecture. And I think that actually watching TV and posting blogs as part of our grade helped us to be more on the same page with being entertained yet having a specific focus (so as not just to be watching TV with no purpose) for discussion.
Sam, despite the hectic-ness of arranging interviews with people in the soap industry, I really enjoyed being able to get an insider–or 3–’s perspective on the hows, whats, issues, rewards, etc, of soap operas. All 3 of the folks I spoke to were warm and helpful and there is no way I would have had another opportunity like this.
Guys–ladies–Dr. Mom (haha, kisses to you!), it has been a pleasure to spend 2 days a week together talking about everything, from Buffy to Spiderman to current events and megastar meltdowns. If only my others classes could cause so much excitement! I wish everyone luck with the rest of their schooling, or, for some lucky devils, a wonderful post-school career and hope to hear from you all soon in regards to a rendezvous! Cheers!

Thanks, Jessica. I’ll definitely miss our chats. Feel free to leave a post up here from time to time if some soap opera-related thinking hits you. The blog will remain. And I do hope to make good on our idea to get together after the craziness of finals are behind us!

I’ll definitely still be posting here from time to time to bitch about things going on in the Pop Culture world.
