Yet another thlog

                  So this week I realized yet again that I have issues remembering to write my weekly thlogs. This realization prompted me to finally, week eight, turn on a weekly alarm to remind myself. This may have been a more helpful lesson had I learned it earlier on in this class but that’s alright: better late than never!

                  This week was also the week we turned in our WP3’s! (Woo Hoo! Done with WP’s, that’s pretty cool!) I have no idea how I did on it but it did stretch me to my limits and made me more comfortable with being pushed out of my comfort zone.

                  One cool thing I noticed this week was how much this class has actually changed my writing/writing process for the better. I had two other essays due this week (in addition to WP3), one for anthropology and one for history. When I was writing those essays I used a lot of the small writing tricks I’ve learned in this class. For example, when I was writing my history paper I included “∆∆∆∆” when I didn’t know exactly what I wanted to say so that I could easily come back to it. And for my anthropology paper I started with a quote because I remembered Zack saying that was a good way to liven up a hook (or something along those lines). Anyways, I know it’s not technically something I learned this week but I still feel like it’s significant enough to warrant mentioning. It was really cool to see the class directly helping my writing like that because this class has been really tough and a lot of work for me. It’s nice that this class is making me better at writing though, that makes it worth it… especially since I think that’s the whole point of the class.

Anyways that’s this week’s edition of Kennedy’s Thoughts! Thanks for tuning in and I’ll see you all next week.
