As our blogs come to an end I would like to talk about what I have learned in the English classes that I have taken with Stephanie. I can’t even count how many times I had to revise my papers through out the year. Although those revision processes have indeed helped me grow as a writer. That is because I used to have my whole paper completely marked up by Stephanie and now when I showed her my last paper she barely marked it up the mark ups were just minor things. I do have to say that my writing now compared to my writing from senior has greatly increased as well. Last year I would hand a paper in and it would take me about 2-3 weeks to get it completely revised. Now it only takes me about 3 days and just a little bit of help instead of a ton of help and a ton of time. Next, I would like to talk about how when we started these blogs I would absolutely hate doing them. But, we have done so many from both semesters I was able to discover that I can think outside of the box. What I mean by that I was able to think about my self as a writer and was able to talk about out of the regular topics towards the end of the 2nd semester. For example my whole blog on how college advisors and how they really don’t help students out at all. So with all that said I think it is safe to say I will do just fine when I have to have to write papers at ISU.
I agree. Writing with Stephanie has been amazing. I have learned so much and really grown as a writer. Her classes have helped me to analyze my writing critically so that I don't have to go through a lengthy revision process. It is sad to think that class is over now that I am really enjoying it but it was all worth it! Next step is LCU and I can't wait to use my new writing skills there! :) Nice blog!
