This week I am working on getting my portfolio together. I have to rewrite a lot of things and it is going to take me till the weekend to get everything together. I am ready for 104 because I think Ive been ready for a while. I feel like I have enough skills to make it through 104 and get a decent grade, I was in honors and I was in AP English and just didn't take the test for I was busy with photography things.

This week

This week we had to read our papers out loud to the class. We had to print out the correct amount of copies for everyone in the class so they could go along as we read them, and they could correct any mistakes in the paper. I myself was not ready for this. I am not much of a get up and read my work in front of anyone. It could be two people and I still would feel nervous, and want to pass out. But I got up my courage and read it anyways. I saw a few mistakes, with grammar, as I was reading it but I was overall pretty pleased with my paper. My paper was over interracial relationships and my experiences with them and how its been dealt with in the past. I got a pretty good review from the students which pleased me as well. Though I hate speaking in front of a class this exercise did help me. I think it is a good one to use, so we can see what an audience thinks of our papers and if they are attracted to them or not.

This week we talked about out Facebook fan pages. We all had to go up there and talk about our spot and about our fan page. Wendesday we had no classes, which did me a great favor, because I really needed to sleep, and I was out till 3 am. It was a good day. Today we talked about the David Letterman Building, which was the only Fan Page left. Today she also told us that we have to do our Individual reflection, which we can put in our portfolio.

We have been making a fan site on facebook for a little over two weeks i think. I think we have the bet place on campus actually, because everyone goes there. There isnt a person really who goes here, that lives on campus, who hasnt been the Atrium. It is the place to be. You get food you buy books its an all around great atmosphere. Also this week i forgot to post my revised version of project 3 that was due last friday, i am so forgetful. this week has been chaos. Hopefully it slows down.

Kopple

I like how he went to the prison in California and spent time with them. I never really see prison interviews and see how prison people live. I think that opens up the eyes of many people, seeing the way they are treated. I was astound by the over whelming number of people there, that were over flows.

I dont like revising that much but I do it anyways, because the teachers tell me to do it. When I revise I stress out because I go back and read the paper that I wrote and I dont like any of it. It sucks so bad. But then I think to myself, well hey you dont have to change the whole thing. Then I go and do what I have to do. But when it comes right down to it, I usually change the whole thing because I didnt like the way it was written and the way it sounded when I read it out loud. The project 2 for me was a hard one. I was writing about Indian Culture in India referring to the movie Slumdog Millionaire but I decided that I really couldnt put my soul and heart into it because it wasnt a community that I was personally involved in. So I changed it, which comes with revising, and switched to the Body Modification community, but mainly focusing on tattoos, since the picture I used was of tattoos. I am pretty happy about what I wrote but I know it can be way better.

Writing

There is a lot of things I need to do, to get myself back together, I have been slacking off due to my depression. I need to just get back on track, I have to do good this semester because I have to come back to this school , because I AM NOT going to IVY TECH! Right now my heard hurts. I need to write my 2nd project, I have been trying but I just get stuck. I need some inspiration. I need to smile.
