Oh hey, this is the end. Well, it's about time! I need a holiday break and what better holiday than Christmas! The journey, it was long and dangerous. It started out fine and refreshing since the first half of the semester was HTML and CSS. You know, that stuff we learned from a previous class so when a assignment came along, we looked at it and did our work without mass confusion.
But, there came something from the east. A dark and foreboding storm was rising overhead and there we saw... JavaScript! It was new, strange and it wasn't exactly friendly. We accepted the challenge of learning this new technology, but it was something quite different compared to HTML and CSS. The assignments were tough, and for an online class I felt like I wasn't getting enough out of the class if I were to actually apply it in a work related environment. I'm not sure if I really did learn much, since it was more like getting the assignment done on time was the top priority than actually understanding the material.
I don't know if I'll be dealing with JavaScript as I seek further education. If I do, I'll definitely need to be in a class and actually see more of the programming done right in front of me. I definitely learned how to learn with the aid of friends, but sometimes I think I was venting out frustration along with them. I'm not sure, but I do know a glorious and bright day will arrive. All that lies in front of it is a final.

Very nice. I love your analogies and I also feel like I'm kind of in the same boat. Regardless, we got through it together and everything worked out. I still feel as if I'm better off having had the class than if I hadn't.
Have a great holiday, YIMMY! Get lots of sleep. Mmm. Zzzzzz.
Javascript was hard to learn. I'm glad we all helped each other and worked together otherwise I don't think we would have gotten through it as smooth as we did.
