Here we are, at our third week of the quarter. Honestly where has the time gone?! Already a quarter through Writing 2: I feel like I’ve learnt more about writing than I have in my entire time at college. So last week was a bit of a bummer because we had MLK day on Monday. Then, on Wednesday I was away at USC playing tennis. So although I didn’t attend class physically, I still managed (somehow) to motivate myself to do the readings. “Responding to Other Student’s Writing” by Richard Straub was an odd yet interesting read. I would consider myself a rather aggressive essay responder, as I often enjoy changing around and re-wording people’s text to fit my personal desire. It made me realize I should probably be making suggestions on people’s work, rather than correcting the entire essay. Whilst reading Straub’s article I got inspired, and wanted to practice peer reviewing. I tried to meet up with Alex to do peer reviewing, but we both underestimated the amount of time the paper’s would take us to write. After reading everyone else’s thlogs, it sounded like they all benefitted greatly from the peer reviews, so I’m really disappointed I couldn’t attend class on Wednesday. The WP1 has been a little bit of a struggle. I’m really glad I picked out a topic that I’m genuinely interested in, otherwise I’m sure I would have procrastinated. I’m looking forward to seeing what I can produce for the final WP1 paper.
