Dear Blog,
This is officially the last time i'll be writing. It's pretty sad yet pretty exciting at the same time. I really do enjoy writing on this blog. But sometimes it's a little too much. First I want to address something I never did. And it's the workshops. They we're a pretty good idea. But they did not workout in my favor. Instead of being critical and telling me what i'm missing in my work. Most of my partners told me that my paper was great. Okay...... What else? I guess it kinda disappointed me a bit because my writing isn't perfect. It's really not. I'm told all the time that people look at my writing as an example of how to write their papers yet no one points out the flaws of my writing and it frustrates me. If you plan on doing workshops in your next class, you should go around the room and look at each and everyone's papers to make sure they wrote at least 4 critical things that could be changed or weren't clear about their partners papers. That's definitely a concern I wanted to express to you on the last days of class. I've gained plenty of knowledge about everything in this course and i'm pretty sure that everything I've learned in this class -although it was a lot- is gonna benefit me in the long run and for that i'm grateful. I'm a bit confuse with the E-Portfolios. Are we suppose to send you the link or share it with you in some other way. Also when we create all of our links should we include our thlogs or PB's? Or is this optional. Because I really think my PB's were great and reflected my writing abilities. This class has really been a roller coaster ride for me. I started off extremely confident in my writing and my WP1 proved that. But as soon as you started introducing concepts and ideas. My confidence began to slowly but surely diminish. It was only then when I began to see that maybe I wasn't the greatest writer i thought I was. It was pretty eye opening. Although you were constantly on our 'asses' as you would say. You're really a amazing teacher and if I ever need help with one of my papers i'll contact you.
YOU'RE AWESOME AND THANK YOU.
Sincerely,
Kassandra Sanchez

Dear Blog,
OH MY GOD. We're almost finished our class. This is my second to last blog too 😝. It's been a very long 10-weeks and I've surprisingly made friends within that short time; given my sarcastic strange personality. But the last week of school means two things. Portfolios and Finals. They are possibly the most dreadful things to think about right now. I know the final is gonna be fairly simple because I understand everything going on in the class already. Yet I cant help but feel nervous about it. Then there's the portfolio. Oh how I dread it. It's possibly the most complicated thing we've done in this class soo far! I guess i'm just not good at managing documents and papers as i thought I was. It includes the revise and original WP1 and WP2's. Which is a long process. It also includes the revision matrix and metacognative essay. Which I didn't even know what that meant until a couple days ago and by looking it up on google consistently. It seems so simple if you think about it. And maybe i'm just being over dramatic. But DAMN it's hard ! Like what in the world goes through your mind Zack? 😓. But it's something that has to get done and i'm gonna complete it to my fullest. I know that today i'm gonna get right to typing and editing and completing what I need to do. ESPECIALLY THAT EXTRA CREDIT! You're legit the only teacher I know that has given extra credit so far and I hope to see more teachers like you. *wipes a tear*. I'm actually still a little confused about the revision matrix. Are we suppose to introduce it separately or within another page? It's really messing with my head. It's also confusing me at the same time. Am I over thinking it ? Am I the only one thinking about this? So far i've tried to star my reflection essay but nothing is coming to me. Hopefully i'll be able to finish it before this is all due because if I don't I know i'm going to really freak out! Im just trying to enjoy our last days of class and stay as calm as possible. *note to self, stay calm*
I'll probably be freaking out in my next blog. But I enjoy talking my mind. It's pretty LIT.

Thlog #4
Dear Blog:
I hope you don't mind if I rant a bit to you. Well this week has been very hectic. With turning in our
WP2's and getting started on our portfolios and all of these strikes going on after the election. it's
been a very stressful week. And were slowly but surely approaching our last week of classes.
Although I never tend to be stressed or frustrated with having lots of work to do. I've found myself
stressing a lot! To the point where I've had run ins with writers block. It's so annoying!! I cant believe that I'm going through it again. But on a brighter side I'm extremely happy about everything I've done in class. I feel as though I have grown as a writer and as a lover of literature. I'm so glad that I did
take AP Language in high school because it's made this class way easier to understand. It's almost as
if everything I've learned in the class falls into place. It keeps me motivated. And the fact that I do get excited to write my papers makes it even better. Even though it's difficult and stressful right now, it's
definetly gonna pay off in the future. Especially since I want to be a neonatal nurse. Vocabulary and
being able to write correctly and with sense is extremely important in the medical field. I mean sure I
get mad sometimes especially when Z criticizes some of my writing, but i make sure not to take it
harshly because you're just trying to make us better. And I appreciate it. Earlier I mentioned the portfolio and -although im gonna be talking about it in my next thlog- it's a huge project. Legit the instructions really confuse me even though it was explained plenty of times. I guess im just very nervous about messing up on this since my WP2 wasnt as good as I wanted it to be. But this is a huge opportunity to re-create or re-write my WP2! Hopefully writers block doesnt hit me when I begin to look over my failure and frankenstein it. Stay tuned to my next thlog which will mostlikely be a rant about the portfolio and reflection. And wtf is up with this complicated revision matrix? 😭 Maybe im just over reacting or im just being dramatic. But has anyone else noticed how complicated it is!?
Hopefully i'll survive. Wish me luck.
Sincerily,
Kassandra Sanchez
