Thlog #4

TGIF!....Finally it is the weekend but before it actually begins I would like to sit down and write down my thoughts (not busy work this time)!  So, this week has been pretty hectic and a lot has been going on.  From being assigned 3 different math homework assignments to finishing our WP1 to writing for sexinfoonline.com for the SOC152C with the Baldwins.  Writing WP1 and just being in writing 2 with Zack has already been quite an experience.  Zack teaches the class with such passion and I really admire that.  Although it is a required class and most people seem to not love it, Zack definitely makes it better than probably all other writing 2 classes.  The way the class is run really helps to keep us engaged.  For example, the class activity we did Wednesday "murder!" was really interesting.  It allowed us to be creative and work in groups while also incorporating the the material we wanted to learn.  I really enjoy being able to write in 1st-order thinking because I've never truly been able to do that for required work in a class.  I really don't want it to seem like busy work myself because it genuinely is a nice way to just write about what's going on but also relating it back to class.
       Coming into office hours on Wednesday was very nice.  I went in there seriously struggling with my thesis and not knowing what to do with it.  I was getting very frustrated because I just couldn't figure out what to do with it in order to make it a strong thesis statement.  You really helped me on taking a step back and breaking it apart.  I realized that I really need to have a working thesis statement because whatever my paper was written about (even if I didn't have a thesis at that point), that is what my thesis needed t one describing.  Thanks again for that Zach!
     Well, it has been a wild ride so far in winter quarter 2016 but I am looking forward to what has to come and everything in store within this class as well as out of it.  PB2A will be interesting for sure and I look forward to seeing what I can do with it.

Peace out ya'll..
