These first couple of weeks have been a little hectic; I’ve been trying to figure out the expectations for the class. It seems like the class is going to be difficult because the is a lot requirements. For my first essay, I didn’t do very well; I didn’t get passing grade, which is a one. I don’t know what to turn in and what I have to do online. I though I was ok at writing, but it seems like I have to revisit and learn how to use commas and structure essays.

Journal #1- So far I have a good handle on my work. I turn in assignments on time, I come to class and make sure I do my class work.

Journal #2- Technology is something that is very significant in our lives. We have grown to be very dependent on it. In many ways it’s beneficial to our day in and day out. For example, some people use it as an alarm to wake up, a tool to do their work, to cook, to drive, to teach, to check their health and many more. Technology runs the world. On the other hand, it distracts us from the real world, damages our brains, and can also be harmful when it malfunctions.

Journal #3- For our first presentation, I would like to talk about the gym. The gym would be my first choice because of all the things you can do there. The gym is a two story building with a basketball court, a cardio section, wait training section, and even a swimming pool. Not only can student relieve stress by going to the gym, they can also better their health. Its a great place to also make some new friends and get to know people that share the same interests.

Journal #4- At first, I used to use a lot of run on sentences with too many unnecessary commas. The structure and the topic of my sentences were always unclear. I got better as I kept writing, but one of my strengths is having a good thesis and spelling. I’m also getting better at writing by letting multiple people look over my work so I can correct my mistakes.

Journal #5- During Spring BreakI’m going back home. I come from Fredericksburg so it’s a very long drive back, but i plan on spending time with my old friends and bringing back old relationships. I also look forward to being away from school for a little while.
