Final Transmission
I have come a long way this semester. I've spent 10 times more time in the library for this class than any other class I have (keep in mind that art classes don't require a great deal of library research...). When I entered into this class on the first day I felt very comfortable about my writing style and ability. As the semester progressed, I retained that philosophy, however what I didnt notice then was that I was actually learning a great deal along the way. Reading over my first drafts and reflecting on that time, I realize now that my writing kinda sucked. It's insane to think how far my writing has come in only 16 weeks, but the proof is in the paper work. I'm scared of what I would find if I dug through my closet and read some of my high school papers. When I first found out that this semster would culminate with a 12 to 15 page paper, it took me a few minutes to pry my jaw off the floor. I was pretty much freaking out because I had never written a paper longer than 8 pages, and that was hell! Now, i'm here today, sitting on 10 pages of quality drafting, and only 2 or 3 more to complete my final paper, and I'm thinking to myself: 'what was I so afraid of? was I expecting not to write huge papers in a college english course?' The main point is, my writing has come a long way, and in the future when I have something I want to get down on paper, I will feel more confident about writing that paper.
