1. What was the most difficult part of the reading for you?
I think the hardest part of the reading for me is similar to the problems I've encountered at the end of the previous two unit's. It seems that the closer we get to tests the more all of the theorems kind of blend together. This is especially true as we are approaching the end of the semester where we have so many 'prime,' 'order,'  'isomorphic,' etc. proofs that things are kind of bleeding together. It certainly didn't help that they didn't really provide proofs for these theorems, but rather just said, "Here are a bunch of theorems you aren't really ready to prove, so we'll do that later." If I wasn't sitting here with my book in front of me, I doubt I'd be able to recount to you what any of the proofs actually said.

2. On a more positive note...
I know I just sounded like a big baby about all of the theorems bleeding together, but on a more positive note it is helpful that we have covered so many theorems that are so similar to each other because it has also made it more 'natural' to prove things, because it always feel like we've proven something similar before. So, hopefully I won't fail the final or the class, because as educational as this semester has been, I'd rather not do it again. :)
