The last blog, finally!!

What did I really learn in this class for this semester?
I learned how to properly cite. That's a pain, im not even close to kidding there. In high school it was all about MLA format but i doubt my teacher ever looked because I always used easybib. I tried that this first semester and it didn't work! I know because after the first essay I cited it by hand, book open and five examples all around me as if the cirlce i formed with exampes would comfort me in my time of need.

I also learned how to write without having the reader get lost in all my thoughts. I'm still working on that. every essay was a challenge. A really big challenge because I get lost in my own thoughts and they're my thoughts! try listening to me tell a story, i'll always go off track. Anyway, I learned my own way of writing an essay. High school was all about the format, the format that didn't work for me and only helped dig my own grave to failure. So, this semester I learned my own way of writing that helped me do well. I really appreciated that freedom. it is until now that im realizing that the 5 objectives listed on the essay prompt were enough to help me. the directions were simple and first i thought i need someone to hold my hand like i was used to but that never helped. now, i know, how to get them done the right way.
