For humanities 2009-2010, I really am looking forward to learning about American culture and American history.  I feel like in the past, my classes have always skipped over learning topics on American history and American culture.  HTHMA, in my opinion, is huge on teaching about international subjects, international literature, and international culture.  I feel like I do not know enough about American history to be considered American, or American writing, as well.  I feel like this class is going to be a much more professional humanities English.

Not only am I looking forward to learning, but also I want to try to work hard and succeed in this class.  Junior year looks the most challenging so far, but I hope that humanities can be more about learning; in the past I’ve felt like the push was on grades, not learning.
