I can’t believe I’m writing the final thlog of the quarter. It’s crazy to think back to the first week of class. I went in thinking I was a pretty decent writer and I wouldn’t learn that much. Oh how I was wrong. I grew so much as a writer during these 10 weeks. I used to think of writing as a chore, but now I look at it as more of a game. How many times can I use dashes? What other ways can I write this sentence? How do I get more specific? This class challenged me to be creative and think critically. It made me realize that it’s okay to take risks in writing, because even if it doesn’t work out, it’s at least interesting and different.
The last day of class really ended things nicely. Going over how to make the portfolio helped clear up some of the unanswered questions I had. I’m a little concerned with the portfolio because it seems like a lot of work. I’m mostly unsure of how I am going to revise my WP2 without rewriting the entire thing. Most of the comments from Z were asking me to get more specific (surprising, I know), so I think I will be able to add in a good amount of detail to what I already have.
This class has honestly been one of the best I’ve taken at UCSB. I actually learned things. And not only that, I have already applied them in my personal life and in my other classes. The past 10 weeks have been tough, but well worth it. I am proud of how much I have accomplished with my writing. Thanks Z for such a great quarter!
