Looking back through the whole semester, I feel that I have gained a lot of essential knowledge and useful experience. In my studio classes, I learned how to consider composition, lines and weight and so on as a whole and draw an impressive painting, how to make 3D projects with different materials like clay and wood, how to use simple elements to create a design that conveys the meaning or feeling that you want viewers to get...In the writing class, I had the chance to improve my writing skills and see many others' nice works. I am still exploring how to write specifically because sometimes I may forget the readers' feelings and continue typing to the end. Anyway, after I read the DSP essay, I felt I did improve a lot in writing. I will take LHSP230 next semester and I hope I can do even better in this upper-level writing class.
Also, as an international student, I am happy to say that I have conquered homesick and the feeling of unfamiliarity. Now I know this place better, have many new friends and chat online with my family regularly. I will keep optimistic and productive and prepare for the challenges in the future.
I'm so glad you have had such a positive experience with Michigan so far! I hope that you continue to find more places and people who make you feel at home here. There is a lot to see in this city, but as someone who has lived here my whole life, I greatly admire your ability to throw yourself into an entirely new community! I really can't wait to see more of the world, because I'm sure you could conquer, there is so much to learn from putting yourself in unfamiliar cultures and exploring new places. It seems you had a good variety of classes this semester and I'd love to hear about next semester. Great job so far and keep it up! :)
