Feelings about my Progress in Card

I feel that I made a decent amount of progress this semester. Though I will admit I was very challenged by the papers we wrote I think I somewhat learned how to break down the work. Starting with the micro theme I struggled with having too much to talk about. I believe that I couldn’t add three issues like in a normal paper since, my two issues were described in a lot of detail filling up the paper. Moving into my Documentary paper I started with the wrong foot of writing about each and every scene. I wanted to pick out the most important scenes out of all of them. Thought doing so I wrote on 41 scenes, took WAY too much time, and still had a bunch of scenes picked since I thought they were important. This left me with very little time to do the rest of the paper and without noticing I completely missed the rhetorical analysis. Lastly with my rational argument I first did not know how to start off with my essay, I felt I didn’t really have a clear a descriptive outline. Then I started to get stuck and procrastinate on my paper after I felt I was being too repetitive. With this though I learned from my mistakes, how to work with certain issues, and what I can do to be better in the future.

This being I do feel I did my best work in the blogs. I wrote about everything that interested me or was important to me. I was also very open and true to myself, sharing things about my personal life that I haven’t really spoken outwardly about, and thoughts and ideas I haven’t shared. This actually was very nice for me, since I was almost like a personal diary for me. There were times where I put well over an hour into my blogs, and search into what I was talking about to ensure I was telling the facts. Overall the blogs were my favorite, and where I feel I made the best progress in card.
