Well, all things must end, and thus this blog is finally closing for me. It's spent three semesters getting scratched upon for Professor David Johnson's classes, first Professional Ethics, then Constructing Reality, and finally Nature of Human Nature. I must say my favorite class, as well as my most productive (in thought, not quantity) blogging semester was Constructing Reality, despite working another blog at the same time. My experience in the philosophy department at MCLA has been many times more enriching and rewarding than I expected heading into it, and should I ever write anything of note, the ideas I learned in my philosophy seminars at MCLA will be evident in the text. I am a smarter and more patient person for them.

As I don't particularly like to sprawl my opinions on the internet without a good reason (such as a class), I'm ending this blog for good with this post. I want to thank David Johnson for 5 illuminating classes, and wish you the best of luck in all your future seminars and endeavors. You have helped me understand more than I can explain. Thank you.
