1st Seminar
Well, just finished my first seminar for College Composition II a little under an hour ago, and I have to say that I'm getting a little nervous over all the information that was covered. There seems to be a mountain of homework waiting for me during the next 10 weeks. But I'm sticking to my guns. I've always loved writing, although I never hoped or dreamed to pursue it for any kind of permanent job. I've always just enjoyed having the medium to express whatever it is I'm feeling at that moment of my life. Funny thing is, I don't do diaries or journals. I tried that once or twice, and when I looked back at them, there were months of gaps in between. Haha, oh well! But I'm hoping that writing on this blog will help to relieve some of the tension and nervousness I'm feeling. That and I have to vent somewhere! But oh well.....I guess it's time to get off of here for now and finish some of the housework I need to do before going to bed. Good night all!

I can tell you enjoy writing and you are pretty good at it too! You have a wonderfully conversational flow that is entertaining to read. I always struggled with keeping a consistant journal too. I remember really enjoying your discussion posts from Academic Strategies with Mrs. Starr. It was because of your helpful tips that I bought a lot of colorful post it notes and highlighters and even a bulletin board for school! This is going to be a fun class! I am so glad we are taking it together!
ReplyDeleteThanks Katie! That really means a lot coming from a fellow student. I'm glad some of my ideas have helped you out alot. I hope we can get through alot while we're in this class, too. I look forward to reading your blogs!
ReplyDeleteYour welcome! :) My bulletin board, computer screen and even my wall is dotted with reminder notes and helpful tips and smiley faces so thank you too! lol
ReplyDeleteHi Yolanda,
ReplyDeleteI felt the same way when I finished the class too. I managed Comp I, but this type of paper has me scared and confused. We can all support each other as we go along with writing our papers. I hoping this blogging helps me with writing as well.
Cindy :)
Hi Cindy. Consider yourself lucky, though. If you finished Comp I, you at least can remember some of what you were taught or at least look back. I'm racking my brain trying to remember things from 10 years ago! That was the last time I went to school! My english credit was transferred so I skipped over that one here at Kaplan. I think writing on here will help us vent out frustrations, and also to allow us to ask for help that we might not feel too comfortable asking for in the classroom setting on the DB. I'm excited about this blog, just not our paper!
ReplyDeleteAnd Katie...another thing that might help are stickers. I am a sticker NUT!!! I have the equivalent of a shoe box full of them. Anything from Disney princesses, Cars, Nemo, Care Bears, all the way to the little generic ones with angels, letters, leaves, etc. I used to have a pen-pal from Canada and I would always decorate my letters with stickers. You could get some stickers that remind you of certain things you need to do and stick them on the appropriate sticky-note. Or just put them on that way you have something cheery to look at while you're crossing off assignments! I love stickers. I guess that explains why I like sticky-notes so much!
OMG! LOL! I can't believe you said that Yolanda! I swear to you maybe a week ago I got out my stickers, that I get occasionally to encourage my kids to behave, and decorated the sticker folder from top to bottom and front to back just to cheer myself up! Stickers are a lot of fun but since you suggested it my husband will have to suffer with my cheerful desk space! hehehe
ReplyDeleteMy-oh-my, what sweeeeeeeeeet revenge! Hahaha, mine just seems to roll his eyes at everything I do. That, or he'll mutter something under his breath. I've even thought of getting inspirational posters and hanging them all over the place. >:D
