This week we could pick from two different assignments, either of which would deal with description or illustrative text. I picked this one:

You've noticed a recurring problem in your workplace and want to bring it to the attention of your boss, who is typically inattentive. Write a letter to your boss describing the problem. Your goal is not to ( Read more... )

I am writing a thesis for my Composition I class with a topic of "Families in Contemporary Society." My working thesis statement is fairly simple: "Traditional marriage does not fit the needs of all potential relationships in contemporary society."

From numerous Live Journal posts: Originally posted by neo_prodigy at Spirit Day I'm posting this mostly unedited (I did correct some of the text that referred to a previous image that used photos of these young men without permission.) I suspect most of the readers of my LJ have already seen this elsewhere; it's as much a reminder to myself as it is to ( Read more... )

... or at least the webcomics. Apparently I provided an idea for a comic.

Cool!

My GPA for the first quarter was 4.0. I intend to keep that up, but this is a bad way to start ( Read more... )
