Thlogging Time!!!! Week 1

01/11/2016

The first week of the quarter is always crazy and stressing but I always try to go into my quarters optimistic and excited about all my new classes. I feel like this quarter in particular I am trying really hard to stay strong with so much on my plate. My first time taking 16 units with a job and internship as well as sorority business. I already feel stressed and it is burly week 2 but I am prepared to tackle whatever comes my way this quarter. ,

This week was very interesting. I never really pictured a Writing 2 class to be this exciting and upbeat as it is, I really thought it was going to be another teacher just standing in front of class lecturing on writing rules but it really is not. I was really nervous going into this class at first because I believed it to be very strict and boring but this week has proven me wrong.

I think that starting the class off with blogging is the best way to start class. We are able to get all our thoughts down for the class and prepare ourselves for the rest of the day. Being able to release our thoughts before class and relax is a very unique way to start such a challenging class but it allows us to be very open- minded and able to express our thoughts on paper. I also think that the way our professor creates our assignments is a very exciting way to learn new things.

This week to be exact I learned what genres meant in writing and how to focus this in our writing for our next paper. I think that the scary movies and timed free-writes were a great and interesting way to break down and learn what genres really are and how we can work with them a little better now.

Another assignment that I found interesting was our reading “Spaces for Writing”. So far this has been my favorite writing due to the way they point out the different types of writing professors. There is the professors who just focuses on rules and the professor who is just interested in fabulousness, and then there are those like my professor who wants a little bit of both. For this exact reason I am ready and prepared for what this class has to offer me.
