Thanksgiving Break Son!!!

Well, my favorite holiday is unfortunately over, but it was a good as always. I have a great day with my family and friends. I went to my grandparents house for dinner and watch football all day and night. Even though my grandma said she was not going to cook, she still did anyway. I thought that her dogs were going to devour my stuffing on my plate, but surprisingly they waited peacefully until i offered them some. Then that's when they got pretty crazy. I also went over to one of my friend's houses that night after all my family festivities were over, and I had a blast there as well. With all of these wonderful people surrounding me, I cannot wait for next year's thanksgiving! I had a lot of fun on my break, and now it is time to get ready for all these exams that I have to take. I am not to enthralled by which classes I have to take exams in but hopefully I will make a good grade on my exams. So, bring it on exams. Let's dance....

In Class Essay

The essay we had to write in class was a little different than all the other essays I have written before. We had to write an essay on how well we participated in class and on a scale of one to ten; we had to grade ourselves on how well we actively participated in class. I feel like my participation in class is very well and I try to answer questions frequently and as often as possible. I love the way we discuss our subjects and topics in class, because I love how we are so comfortable around each other enough to be so open with each other. I enjoy the way we respond in class and the discussion in class is fun. The class is pretty active in participation, except for a couple of people in the class that cannot stop talking which tends to get super annoying. Other than them, class is pretty fun!

Writing Process actually did work!

So, in class, we went over our process on how we write our papers and surprisingly, this actually helped me out a lot! I did not think that doing such a process would be useful to writing my papers. I, of course, was proven wrong. I listen to music and actually make a brainstorm sheet now when I write my papers. In the long run, I think this will really benefit me. I pretty much just sat down and typed/wrote whatever popped into my head. Also, I used to hate making brainstorm sheets, I felt like they were just completely useless and that they provided no help at all. Now I see how much they make a difference and how much they can mean whenever you lose your place. I can now write my papers better than I have ever imagined! So thank you Mr. Sweeney, for going over that process with us in class. Someone did receive some benefit from that class.
