It's a blog blog day

WOWSA at the weather tonight! I think I have finished my first paper! I am very nervous about the presentation part though. With our class and the mentality it has, they all should be interesting and a lot of fun. Moving on... Chapter 9, reading through this I think this will help me a great deal preparing for the next paper. The break down of the questions to ask myself will help me organize the paper better. Starting on the analyzing parts that were discussed on pgs 405-409. Followed by the- The Guide to writing breakdown on pgs 434 and 435, that section I think made the whole thing a lot clearer. All the pages seem to have the same steps but differed on how they were used in the steps of the writing process. That sounds like clear as mud doesn't it? I know what I mean, lol. Good luck everybody on final drafts, presentations and the new essay!

Second Blog-

I will say first that the textbooks helped me get my thoughts more organized. When I started thinking about what to write about, it was hard to get everything organized to one formal path. One thing I have noticed through this process is that I am not very good at coming up with good thesis statements, or at least I don't think so anyway. The outline made it easier to come up with those because of how I wanted to write my essay. With that being said, after some additional research my essay turned out to be different than the actual outline. I am however, thinking that even as I followed the Martin's book for my sources that I get the feeling that it might not be correct. I did enjoy this process more than I thought I would and was glad I had a guideline to be able to refer to often.


As for the tattoo would I or wouldn't I get one...that is easy for me because I have seven. Most of them are hidden and can only be seen if I wear selected clothing. All of them mean something to me  from memories to plain out rebellion, either way they have a meaning behind each and everyone of them. I do regret only one and its not because of what it is, such as a name but of where it is located. I do think that people look at me differently if they can see it and there is a good chance that down the road it could affect a job opportunity.
