Good Bye

This will be my final post as i am turning in my research journal today. After lots of time spent doing this seamingly worthless project i have come to realize that it really did help me to clear my mind so i could just focus on the task ahead of me, which was writing an academic research paper. Although i am very happy to be done with this project, i think i may begin to journal on my own. I most likely will not do it as a blog but probably in a note pad. Mabye this can be my way of staying connected to writing throughout the next few very busy years of school.

What still needs improvement

Although i have gone a long ways this term in improving my writing, there is still a ton of stuff for me to learn. I really need to improve my sentence structure as well as expand my vocabulary in order to maintain an academic and professional tone throughout my writing. As always, grammar is going to be one of my constant struggles, and is something i hope improves as i further my education. All in all, i now have a very firm foundation so i can continue to refine and build my skills on top of it.

How i have improved as a writer

This semister i really learned to write with authority and clearity, as well as improving my sentence structure and word choice. As compared to the begining of the term, i have grown so much as a writer its hard to compare. I know the majority of these blogs have horriable grammar and spelling, but that is only because i am trying to get my thoughts out as quickly as possible. But really i have improved a ton. I now feel i am ready to take on the major asignments that will follow in my career as a student.

Coming to an End

So the semister is coming to an end and i am preparing to turn in my last english project. yes thats right, this will be the last english class i will ever have to take!! Its kind of odd though, because every other english class i have taken i have hated but for some reason this class made me enjoy writing. I am kind of sad knowing that this ne found love will soon fade away, because God knows i have no time when i am taking my engineering courses for extra work. Mabye this summer i will write another paper and try to get it published. Just to go out with a bang so to say.

I got a B!

So i got my paper back today, i scored a 224/250. I guess thats not bad, its actually pretty good compared to how i was writing at the begining of the semister. But why couldn't she give me one more point so i could have had an A? I dont quite understand that, because it really did turn out great. I think i am going to talk to her and see if i can get that extra point back, i really want an A! I just really feel that this is an A paper, so its not fair if its got a big B on it. I guess it is the highest possible B, but still i was onlt one point away from an A!!

The Final is growing closer

So for par of our final exam we have to define terms in a few sentences. this whole final study guide has have all the questions on it, i am really suprised! It seems like a trick or something, because my instructor has been fairly hard all semister but know is letting us know the questons before the exam! It kind of blows my mind! So naturally im assuming its a trick of some sort. Mabye the final is scored like golf, the lowest score is the best, and everyone will prepare alot and score alot of points, but in reality that is lowering their grade. I know it sounds crazy but thats the only explaination.

Self assment

so for our last project we have to put togater this portfoilo of all our work from the semister, and then write an essay about how we have improved as a writer. Why do english teachers always want students to write these stupid things? They are just so much of a waste of time its not even funny. I have to spend time writing a stupid paper when i could be studing for the final, or my other classes! But considering i really need a good grade, i should probably just shut up and write the paper.
