Assessment

I have never really enjoyed any of my writing or reading classes in all my years of schooling. I only have fun writing if I am writing creative stories or things about myself. I had a really good time writing the personal narrative. I found the tools of rhetoric rather interesting, but I am not sure if I fully understand them. I had absolutely zero fun writing the research paper, but that is life I guess. I did not feel that the blogging was necessary or a good learning tool, however, if it is the reason we did not have to write a multi modal argument then I am okay with it and think it is a good idea. Anyways, enough with the negative, I believe that I have truly become a better writer from this Writing 150 course, and from you as a teacher. You make learning fun, and get more personal with the students, and I like that about you. You make class a place for learning and not a prison. I did not do all the readings for this class, but I found the readings that I did do unnecessary, so maybe that could have some changes. I just do not feel that all the material we read in our books was applied in class or in our assignments. I did think the blogs were a good way for the students in the class to get to know each other, and it was a good way of communication. All in all great job teaching, and great Party In the USA!

Favorite Movie

My favorite movie of all time is a movie that came out quite recently. Crazy Stupid Love with Steve Carrel and Ryan Gosling is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen, but it also has a good message and story. It is funny because of all the twists and funny situations in the movie. There are a lot of awkward situations that are hilarious. I also really liked it since I think Steve is one of the funniest actors ever and I think Ryan Gosling is the biggest hustler of all time  haha well anyways. Good movie go and see it

Issues Paper Issues

I do not have too many issues with my issues paper other than it takes up a lot of my freaking time haha I feel like I spend half my day researching, half my day thinking about what I can use, and half my day writing haha but Oh well at least I am kinda on the fast track at this point. I do not feel that I will get a good grade on this paper, because I don't really mknow what I"m doing, but I am still gonna try haha.

Why Write

I found the reading somewhat helpful in the development of my paper. I just do not like reading so I have a rather pessimistic view about it haha but anyways some things that I liked….. I liked this quote, “arguments based solely on emotion cease to be rational and become pathetic outbursts.” Since we are allowed to choose whatever topic we want pretty much for the research paper you kinda wanna choose a topic that you feel strongly about. This quote taught me that I need to still be rational.

Pros and Cons

I am probably going to write on either gay marriage, if you can be born gay, or BYU and their choice to go independent in college football. The side I will take on gay marriage is that it should not be allowed. The stand that I will take on if a child can be born gay is that that is hogwash and being gay is a choice. Last, I have not decided which side I would take on BYU going independent, but I think it will be a very interesting topic to discuss. Anyways, hope everyone had a great weekend, and I wish you the best!

Whatever I want

I do not know why I am writing this, but I have to so I get a grade. I am actually rather upset, because I wrote this forever ago and it did not post for some reason.. Oh well life goes on. I will go on. Party in the USA! Anyways, how is everyone. I hope you are doing well.

Rhetorical Analysis

I am elated, to say the least, to be done with the freaking rhetorical analysis. I did not think it was extremely difficult, but I did have some trouble and some frustration writing the paper. At the writing the center I was pretty much told that my paper sucked haha so I made some changes to it for my final draft. I was pretty mad that I was late to class on the day that we turned it in, because I spent all that time writing it just to lose points for not even a good reason in my opinion. It just sucked! The one day I sleep through my alarm is the one day I need to be in class the most... Gosh Dangit!!
