small essay, BIG REACTION
After I finished this essay, I'm going to be honest. It wasn't my best, nor my favorite. I feel like I had a really good plan and I mapped out my plan of attack nicely. But it didn't translate as well as I thought it was going to. I started it early, but I finished it late. It was one of those essays that you just can't wait to be done with. Do I think I did terrible? No. Am I proud of it? Well, I'm not ashamed of it, if that answers my own question... I did rest on the fact that we can rewrite this. So I didn't type my fingers off. However, I don't want to make it seem like I just did it because I had to and handed it in. Well, I did. But I did put thought into it as well. I did work on it. I did go to the writing center. I just couldn't find a passion for it to make my writing outstanding. Maybe next time.

What do you mean by translate?
ReplyDeleteThis first paper is largely diagnostic. We're just getting into the work of the course. No worries. I'm glad you visited the Writing Center. How did that work out?
I felt the same way about this paper. i had a plan of attack mapped out and somehow putting that down onto paper was not as simple as i had imagined it to be. I didnt go to the writing center, i went once last semester and i didn't find it helpful, maybe ill try my luck again this semester. Good Luck with the revision.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kendra. I did like the writing center. I feel like I could have made the same outline on my own, but it was nice to have someone reassuring me that I addressed my thesis correctly. Maybe give it another shot.
