Finals
So this semester is wrapping up and it's time to finish everything up. I feel like I have SO much to do in every one of my classes, mostly my fault for being an incurable procrastinator. My research paper I'm really unsure how much more editing I feel like I need to do. There is a part of me that says you really aren't going to be able to do much better with what you have. But there is another part of me that is scared that it is so crappy that if I don't change the whole thing I will get a horrible grade. At this point the only thing I know for sure is that I need to cite within my paper and also add my works cited page to the paper (the last thing I need is to get an F for plagiarism). I also really need to redo my second paper. I knew when I handed it in that it wasn't going to be a good grade (could it be because I wrote it in two hours the night before?). I really do not want to take the grade that I got on it but at this point I'm wondering if I really will have time to finish it. Also we are required to hand in a portfolio as our final for this class. We need to write a letter about what we have learned in this class...well what our teacher has tried to get us to learn from his goal statements. What I have learned.....? Hmm, well...I have learned that I find it impossible to critically read in class because my professor is usually distracting us when we are suppose to be reading. I have learned that the definition of rhetorical is more complicated to understand than most poetry I have ever read. I have learned that trying to write a paper in two hours doesn't work, it never will, so why even try. I have also learned that Wikipedia is not a good source to use for a research paper, but it has some funny things to read when you are suppose to be writing your paper. And finally I have learned that whether it is APA or MLA, I will never really know where the periods are suppose to go but I'm pretty sure know one really knows that answer either. Oh and I have also learned that I hate being forced to argue about something when I don't know what their actually point of view is. Now I'm off to try to finish one of my ten papers I have to do.
