Insight Game

I took the insight game and the results were right on. I am a ESFP, I don't know what these letters mean but the description was perfect. The way that it explained a ESFP person was exactly how I am. Knowing this information reminds me about what kind of person I am. Remembering this makes me do my best all the time; I know the situations that I do my best in so I will always be giving 100%

Feeling Good

I volunteered once my junior year in high school. It was at the local nursing home. I wasn't looking forward to it at all. All we were there to do was help them play bingo so it didn't sound like a good time. I was so wrong; it was actually real fun. Having this experience helped me make a decision for the event I had to go to for English 102. Once I saw that one of the events was volunteering I was kind of excited. But to be honest it wasn't as fun this time. I think that the people in the nursing just made the old experience. Don't get me wrong, it still felt good to volunteer but it just wasn't as enjoyable.

Better Understanding

The transfor from English 101 to English 102 has been somewhat easy. I think that taking English 101 first really prepared me for English 102. I seem to know what is going on and the expectations for this class better then the students that didn't take 101. Now I'm not stressed out like I was at the beginning of the first semester. But, it is more then English, I am more comforable with semester with everything. I am just hoping that every new semester I will be more and more relaxed.

Rough Weekend

I had one of the worst weeks sense school has started. To start with me and my girlfriend broke up. It was kind of a serious relationship so it was hard to get over. As I thought my life couldn't get any worse, my grandma past away. After this happened I wasn't very motivated to do anything all weekend. It is crazy how fast your life change. One day I have a girlfriend and a grandma and the next I don't have either one. So as I get back to Ball State I think about all the things I wasn't motivated to do, and I realize that I have some English 101 to do. Well I guess I can't procrastinate anymore.

Only Two Days

For my English 101 class we just revised a paper and turned it in Friday. Now our assignment is to revise another paper that is due Monday. This is hard work alone, but I am also not having the best days right now. School is starting to get pretty hard and long distance relationships suck too. I'm just getting really stressed out about everything that is going on. I have so much stuff to do in so little time. I guess I am just going to have to step up and put everything aside, until I get my work done. Serious Mark starts now!

There is a Whole World to Explore

I really enjoyed read Pamela Gardners’ paper. She goes into great deal with her trip to Brazil. It was just an all around good written paper. I also think that she picked the perfect pictures. The pictures made her paper multimodal and also give her audience a visual. This paper is not the normal 5 paragraph paper that most people are used to reading. It is more like she is telling you the story at the same time you are looking at a photo album. Overall I would give this paper a 5 out of 6, mainly because at some points she talks a little too much about unimportant things. And I feel that she might have lost some of her audience. But, the paper still has everything it needs such as; a title, a work cited page, and great flow. She went from one paragraph to with next very nicely. You can just tell that she took her time and did the research that she needed to complete this paper. I would say that it is a portfolio ready paper.

One on One

I had an idea about what I wanted to write about for the final project in English 101. But, I didn't really know how to put it together. This made me nervious and not very confident about my writing. Everyone in the class had a meeting to meet with our professor one on one. I was thinking that with one on one time could help me in writing a better college level paper. And come to find out I was right. Meeting with my professor one on one really help me put my thoughts together.
