Famous Last Words Week 8

This week was a busy week!  I went to Dallas on the snow day. Because the weather was fine, I thought it wouldn't get bad on Wednesday. In Dallas, I just shopped with my sister at the Korean town and had good food. I went to this Korean BBQ buffet in Dallas called Omi and they had unlimited meet buffet. I ate so much there! I went with my sister and it took us six hours to get back from Dallas. On the way back, I saw many trucks that were flipped over and there were several cars that just rested on the side of the highway because the road was very slick. It sure was a dangerous drive.

On Friday, I had to go to graduation gear-up to pick up my cap and gown. I also took my senior portrait on the same day. I went with my friend Ashley and we both felt like we were not ready to go out to the real world. College was filled with joy and memories. It felt weird that I am going to graduate because I was in school for the past sixteen years of my life. I don't know for sure what I am going to do after graduation.

I enjoyed class this week. It was nice having a little break from reading and work on looking back at my work. I realized that the comments from other students have helped me improve on my writing. Because different classmates had different thoughts on my writing, it was nice getting different types of comments.

My other classes were not that bad this week. I have a test next week, but because of the snow day, the test schedule might be changed. I just can't wait for Spring break! I don't really have anything planned out other then going to Dallas with my family, it will be nice having a little break from school.

Commenting Review Week

Because this is an online class, we never see our classmates. Leaving comments allows me to connect to other classmates by communicating. I like the commenting, but I think it will be a good idea if we could be assigned to groups and have a chat room. Comments which corrected my blog post was the most helpful. It is nice to hear good things about my work, but also correcting my work is a good way to improve my writing skills. For both short and long comments, I give them a good comment about what they've done really well and something they can fix. The easiest part of writing a comment is complimenting them. The hardest part is the criticizing the work. This is the only class I took which allowed to students to comment on each other's work every week. The commenting method allows me to fix the mistakes I have made on my writing and continuously improve on my writing. I think commenting is a good component of this class.

Writing Review Week

I am so grateful to be in this class. I never enjoyed writing, but this class allowed me to write more. By writing more, I am able to express my thoughts through words. Since I am not really good at writing, I want to improve more on sentence structure and grammar. Reading other stories from other people allowed me to learn a lot from them. Some of my classmates are talented writers! I love the feedback I receive from from Professor Gibbs and the classmates because it allows me to improve my writing skill. I think the biggest challenge is grammar for me. Because English isn't my first language, I have hard time writing. I love looking back at my work. Because I never had a class which allowed me to write everyday, I feel accomplished looking at my work. I attached my favorite picture from one of my stories. This story was my favorite because I think I did a good job expressing Shupanakha's feeling.
