Reflection Time! 2.10
During this course, I always found that the way we explored subjects was really interesting. We would start talking about current events, and then before you know it we would have links up from multiple sources, sifting through them and bringing up good points or counters that could be used to further our discussion. From time to time, we'd even find ourselves looking at the works of Stephen Colbert or Boo, the cutest dog in the world. Even though we digressed, (sometimes severely), the conversation always resulted in a deepening of my understanding about the topic at hand. This deeper understanding and structure of conversation will be something that I hold onto in the future. Another thing I will take from this class is my developed habit of reading articles on the NY Times daily. This habit has kept me in touch with the world and allowed me to contribute to conversation where before I would have been silent, and I think that is something that is very valuable.

Thanks for seeing the usefulness of those digressions. I enjoyed not knowing sometimes where our opening conversations ultimately would go. And I'm glad that you developed the habit of reading the Times. That's a habit worth maintaining.
