Well, the first draft of the first essay of English 305 is done, and it feels so good. I know I probably have a few revisions ahead of me, but anything will be easier than writing that first draft. Aaaaaand, Dr. Pennington’s comments weren’t as terrifying as I thought they were going to be, so a big win all around.
I’m starting to get into the swing of things with my schedule, and my internship isn’t going to be as time-consuming as I thought it was going to be, so things are looking up. Of course, we just got our second writing assignment, but I’m going to do my best not to stress out about it.
Edits on the close reading essay are going really well so far, and even though having no idea what my grade is scares me a little bit, I’m just doing my best to apply both Dr. Pennington’s comments and the peer review comments to make my paper stronger. As long as I do that, I think everything grade-wise will work itself out.
Who knows, maybe next week will be like last week where I’m totally stressed out and having no idea what’s going on, but I’m just going to enjoy this week where everything is under control.
Okay, so here’s to hoping that more weeks are as calm and collected as this one and that the rest of the semester goes smoothly with no bumps along the way. Sound impossible? Agreed.
