It's the end of the semester here at George Washington. The pic below is of my students at the farewell pizza party last week. (Here's the rest of the album) I've decided to let them type on the blog as they hand in their final portfolios. Think of it as a virtual guest book.

Justin: I flipped off my couch and broke my arm. I go into surgery tomorrow. But I turned in my final. Have a great holiday everyone.

Courtney: Unfortunately, I'm not in this picture!! I am so glad this semester is over! In two days I'll be a college graduate!!!! Is it as scary out there in the real world as it seems? Thanks for the great semester Professor Jones! Happy Holidays!

Jacob: That pizza was delicious. I know I was pretty terrible at that game-- I blame the lack of TV in my life. Glad we all got to hang out one last time before the finals crunch.

Michael: Thanks for a great semester, Professor Jones! I've learned a lot, and it has been really fun along the way. Check out another great blog

Sasha: It's been an interesting semester, to say the least. We were quite the group of aspiring writers, and its been great to be around such different people. I may have be the one who liked The Stolen Child the most, however. Fairy, faerie, either way its been fun.

Catty: Hope everyone is enjoying the very needed break. I had a good time writing and reading with all of you. Good luck with those celebrity hoaxes and electric sex...

Alex: I have had a great time. I have to admit that I had gotten a little burnt out with my writing but this class turned that all around. More than anything I had a lot of fun in class -- joking around but also getting a lot of great writing done. As for my continuous mockery of a certain story...I'm sorry. I hope to God that I haven't been replaced by a changling. Someone check the length of my fingers, please.


James: A great man once told me that if I believe in myself, I could accomplish anything. That man was Fitness Celebrity John Basedow--yeah, the one with the washboard abs and the feather'd hair--and since that day, my life has not been the same.
Throughout this class, I have applied the lessons learned from His Fitness and have come out a better man for it. If there is one person that personifies what it means to be a Fitness Celebrity, it would be John Basedow. But if there were two? Tayari A. Jones.
Keep pumping iron--keep writing the good word. Stay fly. jpk.

And now I'm especially happy I switched into 181 next semester: Pizza Party!

(and you know, writing fiction)
