Thlog #10

LAST THLOG.  This will be the last time I truly get to do some first-order thinking/writing.  Therefore, I want to voice some things that have been on my mind.  First of all, writing 2 was quite the journey.  I still have a LOT to do.  I want to express my concerns directly that this portfolio is very overwhelming.  There are so many different parts to it and I feel like we are trying to cram so much into the class this last week that it is just too much.  From having this thlog, to the doc-a -thon, to the survey responses, to the revisions, to the reverse outlines, to the revision matrices, and the 5-7 page reflection essay, I feel like I am going to break.  I really do understand why we need to do all these things, I just feel as if they all got pushed to the last minute and now everyone is scrambling to do all of this stuff.  Personally, I have 3 other very difficult classes that I want to devote the necessary time to do well, and of course I want to do exceptional in this class, but I am so overwhelmed right now.  Like you said today in class time management is f****** hard, and with so much being thrown on my plate, I feel like I just can't get it all done.  I just want to express those concerns onto my thlog this week.

Regarding the class today, it was nice to go over questions about the portfolio and to clear some stuff up.  It’s going to be a bit strange not coming into class and seeing your outgoing and charismatic character twice a week, but I want you to know I really do appreciate your teaching style and curriculum; I realize how much you really do care about our writing improvement which gives me some insight to why I have been so overwhelmed about this class all quarter and still am today.  I hope I can get through all this and come out on top…I am going to do my best.

Peace out writing 2.  Doin’ me dirty no more.
