Thlog #7

What a hectic week so far...  WP2 really to me for a spin.  When I went to brainstorm ideas, I really wanted to find a topic I was interested in because I had trouble with WP1 when I didn't have that interesting of a topic and I felt that it would help me do better overall because I would be able to write about something that was cool to me.  After I found a topic I was interested in, I began to brainstorm ideas and make an outline.  I went through each question presented in the prompt and tried to get ideas for each of my three sources.  I went through the rhetorical features, conventions, moves, audience, purpose, etc. and tried to get really good ideas specific to y sources and argument in order to create the best paper I could.  I struggled a LOT with this paper.  I sat in the library for hours on end trying to really make my paper flow and make sure it connected to my thesis.  I really tried to fix everything that was wrong with my WP1 in order to receive the best grade I could, but also because I wanted to be proud of this paper.  After hours of writing and editing, I believe I really do have a solid paper.  When we peer edited each other's papers in class yesterday, I got very positive feedback.  I was told that all my ideas were good, that my thesis was solid, and that it connected to the paper itself.  I was super happy hearing that knowing how much workI put into this WP.  Of course, there is always room to improve, but I really wanted my draft to be the best I could make it with the time I had and I believed I did do that.  I am going to edit it more and make sure it really is the best I can make it, but I was ecstatic on how I pushed through this assignment and achieved what I wanted to.
