Work In Progress!!

Hi Everyone,

This is week six in College Composition and I cant believe how quickly this course is moving. Six weeks ago I looked at the syllabus and was scared to death. Writing isn't my strong suit so I was less than eager to get started on the writing project. Each week we have broken the project up into small pieces and constructed the base of our assignments. When I look back on the previous weeks and all of the things Ive learned I'm a lot more confident that I may be able to conquer this writing thing after all. It doesn't seem so overwhelming when t you cut the assignment up into pieces and concentrate on each piece as opposed to just jumping in there and starting from nowhere. I'm so much more confident at week six then I was beginning this class. I'm not as scared to put my thoughts on paper and decipher between whats valuable information and what is just overload for my reader.

My paper is coming along nicely and Ive learned shortcuts along the way that have made this an easier process than I ever could have dreamed it would be. Outlining my ideas along with brainstorming my thoughts have helped a lot. Also learning how to properly cite is a lesson I will use in my career in the future. I never understood why there was a need to cite in APA format, it seemed like a lot of extra work that just looked complicated. However, now I have learned the value of citing your work and properly placing my references in APA format and its not so confusing anymore. Only three weeks to go and I must say I'm sad to see this course end. Now that I have a better understanding of what goes into writing and an easier process to putting my paper together I can write all day.. (not literally)
