Attack of the Thlog

This week was a crazy week for me. I had 3 midterms spanning 2 days with 2 midterms on Wednesday. You can only imagine how grateful I was that our WP2 rough draft wasn’t due Wednesday, like I thought it was when I glanced at the syllabus. Thankfully this week has just been a lot of help and clarification on the ideas and concepts that can be used in our WP2. I am pretty sure I’m going to be a bit hesitant with including brackets into my WP2, even though we have to, because I’ve never used them for anything other than equations. I think I’ve always thought it was customary to italicize actions and although I’ve seen it used I have never personally used brackets to modify a quote. Figuring out a way to do that smoothly will be interesting and useful to understand how to do.

I really enjoy going over grammar ideas or concepts – even the basic ones – because they always refresh my memory and give me new ideas to make my papers stronger or more creative. I have always enjoyed parallelism for the main reason that it just looks right. I try to write with parallelism (unless I’m meeting a word countJ) because I really feel that it helps ideas flow and appears more put-together than just writing down whatever comes to mind, as I’m doing now.

I’m actually looking forward to writing the WP2 because I’ve got so many ideas for how it should go, and I really want to prove that I can write a good paper. I’ve already started a very basic outline and am going to really try to just get every idea that I can onto the paper and make my very own shitty first draft. I usually try to write the final draft of my paper while writing the rough draft – a really terrible habit. Hopefully this paper will turn out much better than my last one.
