Yay we all are finally finished with blogging and most importantly!.....PAPERS!!! ... Well at least until English 1102 starts! lol I'm still struggling with my final paper but hopefully after my one on one with ms. Marshall I will know what to improve on... and hopefully it will help me finalize my paper once and for all!!! this class definitely helped me improve as a writer! specially the creative part of writing! I cant wait to see my final grade for this class! I'm excited but nervous at the same time. I feel like this paper could either make or break me... well shall see lol. BYE BYE blogg

Our LAST Blog !

I am so excited that this is my last blog for English 1101 and that I dont have to try to remind myself ever week to complete this by Thursday ! Anyway, after having my one-on-one confrence with Mrs.Marshall I knew exactly what I needed to do to get a 'A' on this paper. My "research paper" seems to be lacking in the research part. I plan on visiting the library for my first time tomorrow in hope that they can help me figure out what and where to add research in my paper. After that I plan on visiting the writing center atleast two times before I turn my paper in Tuesday! I am actually feeling really confident that I'm going to get an 'A'. I know what needs to be done and now im about to get'er done ! Love you girls ! (:

Salud!

Ahhh! Ha this is our last blog entry :)

I am glad that we had the one-on-one time with Ms. Marshall to discuss our final papers. I think that it will really help me when i go to edit my paper. I have realized that one of my week spots is transitions. Reading over my paper I now see how choppy each of my paragraphs are. But luckily, there is nothing extremely wrong with the basis and concepts of my paper, which makes me feel somewhat confident. :)

Overall, I think that my writing has progressed a lot through this semester. I went back and read my first paper and saw many things that I would have done differently. So in the future I know that my writing will continue to get even stronger. Maybe one day I will even learn grammar! But I doubt it... haha I only have to make it through one more semester of english because I am a biology major. It will be great though!

So here's to a great future of imporvement in writing!

Good bye blog :)

Happy Thanksgiving!

First off, I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and I hope everyone enjoys stuffing their face today! I am not sure if we are suppose to do a blog today but hey I'd rather be safe than sorry. Anyways, I am so glad I finished my draft! Such a huge relief. Although I know there are major grammatical errors, I still have time to fix them. I only reached 5 pages which is weird for me because I usually go past the required page length. I realized that I still need to add some paragraphs in and everything so I should have it a little longer before the final draft is due. I am not sure if I did everything correctly though, I pretty much used my own beliefs and knowledge about the topic and found facts to support me. I am not to familiar with research papers, so I hope I did it right! Well, I cant think of anything else to write because I am soooo hungry and can not wait for dinner! ENJOY!!! :)

Lack of Research

Okay, so I've missed 3 blogs so I must say that I am extremely grateful that Ms.Marshall is letting this one count as a replacement for any missed ones! Now I've only missed 2 and so I will have a 100% as long as I don't miss any more! (: Anyway, so I finished my rough drraft yesterday and I didn't realize the lack of research that i had in my RESEARCH PAPER. I thought that I did a good job before we did the in class exercise that showed me how much more opinion than I had of facts. I'm not that worried though, because I'm looking forward to the student confrences  were I am able to sit with Ms.Marshall and ask her questions and find out how I can better my paper to 'A' material. I also plan on visiting the writing center atleast three times before I turn in my final. I really really really want an 'A' on this paper so I can get a 'A' in this class...and I'm going to do everything that I have to do to get it! (: Happy Thanksgiving girls !

Turk-kayyyyy

I am so excited for Thanksgiving Break! I have a feeling of relief now that my rough draft is done :) I worked very hard on the rough draft in the hopes that I can get good, helpful feedback so that my final research paper can be that much better. But I am feeling very confident on my paper. Thank you Mrs. Marshall for allowing us to submit an extra blog that can be credited towards a missed blog! I am pretty sure that I am now even in my minimum number of required blogs. Which makes me feel a lot better about my grade in the class! It seems like everything is starting to fall in to place! i regret that I can not have Mrs. Marshall again next semester. I will be going to UGA next semester. I hope I have a good proffesor! Happy Thanksgiving!

Progress Finally!

My research paper is finally starting to come together. I'm struggling with the introduction, but I took Ms. Marshall's advice and started on the body paragraphs first.... although that strategy failed before. I finally have something written, so I'm pretty happy about that! I feel like writing so many creative papers for this class left me in the creative mind set, so now I'm struggling with the wording for my research paper. I'm sure after I have people read it and give me feedback the paper will be good. I feel like its slowly coming together, but I know I'm going to have trouble with the papers length. I have written one research paper that long and it did not receive a good grade at all. After a certain length I start getting lazy with my writing and the ending becomes weak and completely off the topic!!! ugh. Hopefully this one wont have the same result! lol
