Essays

I often find myself struggling to write an essay. One things is trying to find the time to write it before the week flys by. I find my self rushing to finish the essay bc i dont know where to start and once i figure it out im working to finish it before the class starts. Another thing is that i feel that when we are given an assignment i struggle to unddrstand what is expected out of the essay. Like the loop writing essay, once i read one of my classmates essays i finally figured out that i was just supposed to take my freewrite and turn it into an essay i dont know where the confusion came from but i finally figured it out. As i commented on Nora's post, i hope that we take a break with the essays and read some stories that are interesting, as long as we dont have to do any process writes about the stories.

English

I always thought English class was fun in high school. We always read books and got to act out plays. in collage and in high school we keep a journal. The journal we wrote in high school just had every day writing in it. In English 101 we get to keep two journals, how exciting! Just playing.I like the one journal, the free writing one,but i don't like the other one at all. That's one of the things about my English class I hate.
One of the things i do love in English is free writing. It never accord to me how freeing it is to write. I love to get lost in writing. I don't like to write essays and have to put all the work in to essays like we do in class. I really hope this class disengages me in writing. I would probably not mind the work if I had more time myself. I have a very busy schedule so, when I want to write an essay it has to be done for homework in a matter a days. This just means i put out poor quality essays. I also had the expectations that we were going to do a lot more reading then maybe a little writing about what we had read but it is nothing like that.
All and all its defiantly a lot harder then i was expecting. So to everyone out there you will get through this class just as i am. its not the teacher, hes great but its the work in putting out a good essay.
