Final Thoughts

I am going to miss my classmates and my professor. I really enjoyed this class a lot I never thought I would enjoy blogging, but I do it is a place where I can write my thoughts down.  I appreciate the feedback and comments that I have gotten. I think I have learned to be a better communicator from this class. I still need help in getting my thoughts organized and expressed for my essays. I think it is hard because there is so much pressure to do everything perfectly.  I guess there is a difference from being perfect and thinking you are perfect, but I just don't have that capability. Like everyone else I strive to be the best. This class was very interesting and helped me to improve on my writing capabilities. I know that I have gained a lot of insight into my writing through this course. I really enjoyed the interaction in the seminars.

How do I feel after writing my essay

I am exhausted and my brain hurts. I feel like I can even think clearly anymore. I am also anxious about my paper, thinking that maybe I didn't do enough or that I did it wrong. I am not a very good communicator as far as writing goes I can talk and explain what I am trying to say it is just very hard for me to put pen to paper. I also have another problem and that is trying to comprehend what I have read , and transform it into my own train of thoughts. This has been a very difficult class for me but I only feel that it has enhanced my skills in writing. I will take with me the thing that I have learned in this class and put them to further use in my next courses. Thank you for your support and feedback.

Will I continue to blog after this semester

I don't know if I will continue or not, maybe. I really appreciate the comments that I have received from my classmates and professor. Blogging lets me get things that are bothering me off my chest. So I may continue after class is over. I am still struggling with my essay's for both my classes. I really don't like to write essay's, most people probably don't like to write essay's either. I think I don't like them because everything about them has to be perfect, and I am not perfect at all. So it tends to stress me out a lot. I love learning I just don't like expressing what I have learned through writing essay's.

Peer Reveiws

I am kind of torn between letting my peers review my work. I want the feedback and I don't want the feedback. I want the feedback, because I know it will help me. Then again I don't want the feedback, because I know it will inhibit my confidence in my writing. I want to be the best I can be, but sometime I am just afraid to get there. I guess I am afraid, because then I will expect even more from myself and so will my peers. I guess if I had confidence within myself it would not matter, but for me it is a double edge sword. In the long run I really do want the feedback and to grow in my knowledge of writing I am just afraid of the unknown. Sometimes you just want to hear the good and not how to improve, but as we all know we need to take the good with the bad that is how we grow.
