College Writing: Thumbs Up

So far I am really enjoying the course of college writing. I like to write very much but, there is a lot about writing that I need to improve on and learn about. I have been learning about many different aspects of writing that I feel are making me a better writer and more informed. Showing rather than telling is one of the biggest things. I've realized how easy it is to just write and write by telling and not really describing well enough to get a clear and accurate point across. Different articles in class that we read also were a good way to illustrate this skill and it helped me to understand how to do it better. I really like how we are free to write with our own personal style on the essays to express ourselves. Different tips and techniques we have learned in class have aiding in my writing also. I feel I can do better and better on the assignments. I am not such a huge fan of some of the book assignments we did, they were more on the boring side in my opinion. I actually enjoy coming to this class more so than many of my other classes. I am hoping that what we continue to do in class will help to improve me even more for when I write in other classes and really in college. I hope to see more of the same types of activities and assignments in the next nine weeks and also some different and interesting new ones. So far, college writing gets a thumbs up from me.
