Hello everyone! First off, I can't believe we only have a few weeks left! With that being said I am going to miss everyone like crazy, but I'm sure I'll see some of you pretty often (talking to you English Education peeps). I am so excited to start a new semester, and have a new start.
So excited that I have been obsessed with pretty notetaking, study strategies, and organization tips!! Surprisingly it's all over the internet! All I have been doing lately is organizing my time to study for finals, I have never been excited to kick ass at a test, but HERE I COME!
Of course, there are obvious problems with this new hobbie... I just spent almost 70 bucks on new stationary that I really DO NOT need... ugh. I am just waiting for the text from my mom asking why the hell I spent so much at the book store. Sadly, my only answer will be "I have a problem".
Bringing in the "zombie" theme to this post, my new organization/ study obsession has kept me from being the zombie I was in the beginning of the semester. I haven't had sad days in a long while, and I really believe it is because of this class, but also finding things to keep me busy is very important. I have been slacking on this last paper, because it is so far away from writing about myself. I am a little terrified of the grade I will get, and honestly I am terrified of it tearing me up inside. So, if I have seemed kind of "crappy" in class, that's why.
I know Hanrahan will eventually read this, and I want to apologize for my slacking. I feel almost unworthy to major in English, since I have felt lost for really no reason lately. I am overwhelmed by how much talent is in the class, and I just sometimes feel like I am sub-par. My skills are NO WHERE near you guys in the class, you guys are amazing writers. I don't know if it's because I'm short or what but some things(most things) go right over my head.
Anyways, I hope you all have an awesome weekend and a good Easter (even if you are like me and don't practice it)
Sabrina, I think you are a very good writer. I understand how you feel though. Being a Spanish major, I'm not really connected with English like many people in the class are. I've really enjoyed this class, but I think it's because of the content and the people in the class (including Dr. Hanrahan). I don't think you should feel overwhelmed. I think you are a very productive person in the class and you add a lot to it. I do understand though, because I sometimes feel like I don't add enough to the class when we have discussions. I'm glad you found something that your are interested in and that's helping you feel less like a "zombie"!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah and you also have a Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteSabrina: you got this. And by "this," I mean everything. Come and see me (often!) during office hours and we'll get this paper where it needs to be.
