reflection on whatever week we just finished

i guess i can see some slight improvement in my writing. i'm feeling much more comfortable tackling intellectual subjects with my own knowledge and experience only and seeing where it goes. i just wrote about the point of being here at all and it felt good. i like that, i think i'll work on it more tomorrow and make it better. honestly i've made bigger strides in my poetry this semester than anything else but i've done it using tools from the class, so it's all due to this class. that's a cool idea, that a class on writing essays and such can help with creative writing as well. good stuff. i think that putting the midterm portfolio will help a lot, too. i'm going to get started on that after doing ch. 15 ex. and working on that essay more tomorrow. it's going to be a good time. i wonder is liz would let me use a poem? i'll have to ask.
