Hello again. Well this is the last blog for English 250. This has been an interesting experience for me. I've never used a blog before and it's been different. Having people see my thoughts and read what I have to say about things left me feeling a bit vulnerable but at the same time it was good to get feedback...just to know that i'm not way out ( Read more... )

Almost near the end now. I'm finding that everything is starting to work it's way out and that's a huge relief. I honestly didn't see how I was going to be able to get everything done on time, or at all ( Read more... )

Well we're getting closer to the end. It's wierd how every semester I think that I will get everything done early and start working on stuff right away but never do. It's the same thing every time...I end up leaving it to the last minute. I guess i'll never learn ( Read more... )

I've got a little editing to do myself before I send it on to my collaborators but it looks decent. So this has been a very unproductive yet, interesting ( Read more... )

Hello all! I just got home from Thanksgiving in Vancouver and thought that I was overdue on a posting. I was right! So, this week we are starting our persuasive essays. This should be an interesting unit as i've never had to write an essay quite like this before. Of course, your typical essay with thesis and argument is persuasive in meaning but ( Read more... )

Reading both pieces from the weekly readings really helped me narrow down my topic for the narrative essay. I really enjoyed reading "Scenes from Provincial Life".
