My "aha" moment? Shoot. In all honesty, this class kicks my ass. The journal writes as well as the questions just asked by Dr. Preston are absolutely brilliant. Leaves me struggling for words and my mind wandering; however, more often than not I can't seem to gather up all my thoughts and put them to paper. My "aha" moment would have to be the day we were assigned the journal write for how we might explain our favorite music to a deaf person. Later that day I had an encounter with a girl roughly my age who happened to be deaf.( I explained all this in my comment on that journal write for whoever may be reading this and is curious as to what I'm so vaguely explaining.) As soon as I connected with that moment I started jotting down notes on a piece of scratch paper that I ended up filling to staple into my journal later. Which I am looking forward to finding because I can't seem to remember what I did with it but I'll post that on my blog once I do. There have been several other interesting subjects and words spoken that have lingered in the back of my mind and opened my eyes. This stuck out in particular though because I really connected with it. I found my train of thought and trailed it all through out my paper. It made me realize what Dr. Preston was expecting for us to take from this class and how satisfying it feels to really challenge yourself with a thought and complete it to the best of your ability.
