After another week bites the dust, it kind of hit home that we only have 3 more classes left with DP. Although I am ecstatic to be done with Writing, I am really going to miss good ol' Zack. I thought this class was going to be the biggest drag of my first quarter, but I could not have been anymore wrong (it's definitely my favorite). Okay sounds like I'm already writing my reflection...

Did I just say reflection? Yes, that is one of the main topics we learned this week during lecture. After reading both Anna and Bella's reflection, I thought they both did certain things better than the other. After DP told us that they were both "A" material, I was very relieved because I thought it was going to be much harder than that. We went over the guidelines for our Portfolio and I must say that I am a bit overwhelmed. The fact that we have to look back literally on everything that we have done this quarter is a bit intimidating. But you know, that tends to happen to me with every big assignment in this class. I always seem to be fine after so I'm sure after I let all of my stress out my Portfolio will turn out just fine.

After completing my WP3, I learned that I have discovered a new skill that may change the rest of my life forever. I'm a rapper, it's my calling. Not really. But I did have fun with it so that is all that matters. On a serious note, I really learned how to put myself in different rhetorical situations. For example, when I was writing my Facebook posts I really had to think about what parents would say if they were announcing the death of their child. I think I did a pretty good job at doing this but it did take a lot of careful typing.

Now as we move on to our presentations, this week I have learned that I do not know a thing about hedged language so this should be interesting. Time to do some research!
