Enviromental Lit


I can not explain how much this class has changed my life. I enjoyed going every Tuesday and Thursday and my teacher (author, professor, and nature writer extraordinaire) was exceptional. I think it is the first time i have ever been sad as i turned in an exam. Not the kind of "shit i failed this test/class" sad. But a "I'm not going to ever sit in this class and listen to him speak about nature as if it is divine" sort of sad.


The exam wasn't that hard just long and thorough. I was one of the last to leave and probably the saddest as i handed in my paper. I feel like i have him to blame and thank for wanting to climb mountains and see the world, not just see it, but be a participant of it.


One exam down, two more to go, and portfolio to turn in.


I'm so tired but so close to the end.

you should send him an email or drop him a note telling him what you wrote in this email. it is incredibly gratifying and smiley to receive such notes from students; i got a couple today myself, and it's surprising and exciting to know that SOMEONE was paying attention and enjoying the course.

(also, it'll be a way to imprint yourself on his memory in case you need to ask for a recommendation).

a great class, and a great professor, can be the best experience in the world.
