Week Four!


In the last class session, we were informed that we will not need to attend class on Monday the 18th of February. I was very happy to hear that since I turn 26 on that day.  Thus, I must make sure that I really work on my research paper these next few weeks, along with the rest of my assignments.  I always try to get a head of the game when it comes to assignments, so that incase something were to happen I would still have time to get things completed without being stressed and rushed. 
 I create check list and specific time slots to make sure I have time for everything that I need to complete, and yet I find myself procrastinating.  I tend to find myself worried more about making list and creating a plan rather than completing any tasks that are on the list.  I know we talked about time-management in class a few times and I am glad to understand the importance of it, I just have to learn to better self-discipline myself. 
 I also know that if I want to receive the best grade I can that I have to be at home on my birthday, proof-reading my research paper, even if am ahead of the game.  I know I am going to have a hard time with this paper and will need to take advantage of all the extra time, because I really struggle with using quotations properly. Even though I will be doing homework this year for my birthday, I know it is the best choose I have to make for my future birthdays to be even better.

    Maggie, we will actually not be meeting on Week Six, which is February 11. I guess this means you will be in class on your birthday--sorry about that! I had to teach on my birthday this year, so sometimes we need to make the difficult choices!

    I am the same way, I sit down to do my homework but feel that I'm more worried about trying to figure out how I'm going to get the assignment done rather than just buckling down and actually doing the assignment. I had work on my birthday this year and I believe I had class or I did homework, but it is all worth it in the end!

Week 3 Blog

 I know that we talked about how we must write a paper on a book that we have read in the past and I was shocked to see that almost everyone did not like to read.   Even though I was that person not too long ago; I expected there to be a few people who enjoyed reading for fun.  Then I realized we are all here for the same reason, to improve writing and I think that writing and reading fall under the same category.  I did not begin to talk until about first or second grade, an even after that I was in speech therapy for a few more years.  I am not sure if it is because of that that I struggle with reading and writing, but I have also had a hard time concentrating.  It took almost 25 years to find books and topics that I enjoyed reading.     A few years after high school I started looking into different ways to better myself.  I found myself reading a lot of small articles about fitness and health that I would come across on the inter...

Week Six.

As this course is coming to an end, I am really starting to pay attention to all the little things in everyone else’s writing.   I know I am not the greatest writer, and that only mean I have so much more potential to grow.   I like to look at things from a different perspective than most people.   I like to focus on the small goals before looking at the bigger picture.   I have a habit of really breaking things down in my life to make sure I am being achieve my highest potential.   If I focus on getting what I can done in this moment, then in the end I will see how all the moments add into one big picture.   For example, take graduation, I do not think about how much I STILL have to get done before I graduate, but I break it down and just worry about my current classes; even within those classes, I am breaking down each of the assignments.   When I break things down I like to try to put them into a time frame on my agenda, whether its homework tha...

First Week of Class

So many thoughts ran through my head as I slowly drove to my first day of writing class.  I have never really been a fan of reading or writing, because of how bad I am at English. Then recently I started listening to podcasts and reading motivational and inspirational books.  In the last few months I have truly been trying to live the best life I can and better myself in any way.   After sitting in class on Monday night I realized that this class is really going to help me achieve that goal of thriving not only as a person, but more importantly as a teacher.   Knowing how much improvement I must accomplish, since I am not the best at writing, I turn to my boyfriend for any help and motivation.   If it was not for him pushing me and helping me out, I would not be able to even be attending Trinity.   I am very grateful to be able to be in this class and excited to take in everything I can from the class.         ...
