alright, so my right index finger is sore from all the writing i've been doing of late. anyone else dislike midterm portfolios yet? i know that while i'm learning a whole lot from it, it can't be worth this soreness. but i like the outcome, too. i've looked at essays in much more depth, i've worked on them more and refined my ideas and language and i feel like i'm a much better writer than i was at the beginning of the semester. i'm feeling much more relaxed at this point, though. i have a few things left on it but overall i'm done. i'd say i'm at about 80% done right now...i've got a little of the letter to do and two reflections and them i'm done. thank god! so yeah, that's tomorrow morning and afternoon in a nutshell. but i feel like i'm not rushed in all of this and am actually doing a good job. and reading back through poems and essays was fun. i enjoy looking back at my writing now and think i'll do it more often. it'll help me with future assignments, i trust. i really want to go back and revise my poems now...lol. i like the second one and i have one yet to post...it's a much more serious and sad poem. maybe i'll go find it now. i think i will, i'll post it soon.
