WOW, week 9 already, it honestly feels like this term flew by. My paper is almost done, just have to put some finishing touches on it and re-read for the 103 time..lol I have mixed feelings about my paper. I am very happy that its almost done and very proud of myself for sticking with it and seeing it through to the end but I am exhausted literally. I have never done so much research on a subject in my life!! Writing and re-writing, reading and re-reading, it really can drain you. Some people just love writing and it comes very easy to them to produce 7 to11 page papers however, coming into this class I was not one of those people. This was a very scary process for me however I must say it has been to my benefit to be in this class. I learned the correct ways to cite and learned different techniques for getting your ideas of the ground sort of speak. All in all it was a very good 9 weeks. I feel really good about my paper and the topic I chose and hope to use the things Ive learned when I begin my transcription classes. Most of the things I leaned in this class I will definitely use again and again whenever I have writing assignment. The tools Ive learned will make writing easier for me instead of being so much of a challenge.
