end of year paragraph

I really enjoyed the time I spent in this class. Me and all my wonderful friends had so many great times in here. I learned a lot about media arts. I especially enjoyed making things in photoshop. I think i have learned lot about how to use photoshop and the other programs we used. I did not enjoy the use of Adobe Illustrator though. Thank you Mr. Larson for teaching us.
