OUR LAST BLOG POST

When I was in High School, I had four weeks to write a five-paragraph essay, and I thought it was hard to do that, I would always wait until the last minute to do it. Then, when I entered college, having to do a six to eight-page paper was definitely a change. It also didn’t help that I thought my writing was the weakest part of my college career. The process of writing my annotated bibliography was one of the worst times here in college because I procrastinated until the last minute to finish writing and submit it. After writing that, I learned about myself that I like to wait until the last minute to do things, and then I’m expected a great grade, and that’s not how things work in college. I needed to start having a schedule of when I was going to write parts of my paper rather than trying to do it at night. I started applying that to my other classes and my grades in my writing when beating other things I thought I was better at. Then came our first shitty draft, and I was excited because I wanted to show Dianna that my writing was better than what my annotated bibliography was. I started writing that a week before it was due, I started with a footprint of what I wanted to write about, and I just started writing. When I turned in that paper, I felt happy with what I submitted, and I learned how I like doing my papers. I might be leaving this English class, but don’t worry; I will remember what I have learned throughout every book we have read and all of my revised work to put forth in my other class at Longwood University and my career in the future.
