This week really went by too fast. It went by too fast because i almost forgot about my paper that i needed to do for English. The only way i remembered was because i thought about Tyler leaving, going back home, so that made me think about the paper. But anyway, i thought i did well on the paper and i am staying on top of my work in this class. I feel that i changed how i do things in this class and i am way happier/satisfied now.

There is a Whole World to Explore

I think that "There is a Whole World to Explore" is a good paper by Pamela Gardner. This paper was kind of long compared to the papers we been writing in class, but it is really an average paper length. I think this paper should get a 5.
The paper was very well written and put together very nice. It came together quite well. I thought it was going to be boring and hard to follow, but it really wasn’t. I usually would stop reading and start skimming through, but this paper kept me reading. It kept me interested and had me wanting to know more about the life in South America (Brazil and Argentina).
As I started to finish the first paragraph, I was really thinking if I was going to finish this paper. As I kept going, she pulled me in more talking about why she wanted to go to another country. She also was saying that it could be a life changing experience. When I heard those words I really keyed in to the paper. She was very specific and descriptive in this paper.
In the paper there were some spots that were not too clear. Maybe that she got too much into details that she lost focus of her main ideas, but it was still straight. I think that may have been her only negative. Well another negative she probably had was a few mechanical errors, but they weren’t really noticeable.
The paper was great overall, but the reason why I gave her a 5 is because it wasn’t superior. It was close, don’t get me wrong.

3 Projects Due Monday!!!

After a week with only having one day of English class, i feel that i really have a lot to accomplish. i have 3 projects to get done and very little time to get them done. it is really my fault for the rush, but i feel i can really pass this test coming toward me. this is a test to see if i say i am going to do something, will i do it. not a test to prove to myself, but to show other people that i am capable of doing more than they think i can. i kno people think that i wont get the 3 projects that i am behind in turned in, but thats because they dont kno wat i am capable of. this going to be a breeze and im not going to sweat doing it either. So those who believe i can do it, thank you. For the ones who think i can't, be ready to feel dumb on the inside and have the shocking look on the outside......

timed-writing

Friday in class we were to do a timed writing assignment about our community here at ball state. I was doing great on it until the fire alarm went off. We had a fire drill or something probably caught on fire, but we had to leave the building. I was doing my timed writing on blackboard and when the alarm went off i saved the draft, but little did i know its hard for you to get it back after you saved it on blackboard. Everybody else did theirs on Word. I guess i was the only one doing mine on blackboard, but when we came in i couldnt find none of my work that i submitted so it was like i did nothing. I learned a lesson here and that is to always start off my writing work on Word so i can save successfully!!
