Colby Clark Hippie Midterms

I am fairly comfortable with this class right now-- my source of discomfort being the Issues Paper that is coming up. I am definitely not looking forward to all of the time I will have to spend researching a topic to write this particular paper, and then actually writing the paper. Sure researching can be interesting, but it most definitely is not the choice form of entertainment for me. For my Richard Light goal, I am working on seeking more advisement from professors when I have questions, or need help with assignments. So far it is going well, I'm pretty sure that thus far in my college career I've talked to more professors outside of class hours than I talked to any of my high school teachers outside of class. Also, in some of my larger classes instead of going to the professors I have gone to the T.A.s to obtain help when I need it, and for the most part they have been able to provide it. Preferably I'd like to 'not work' for the rest of the semester; however as this isn't very likely to happen I suppose working on becoming more acquainted with the library here at BYU would be OK. My study group can help me by being there to look over, edit, and give me feedback on my writing when I need it. So far they've been pretty good at doing just that, which is absolutely great. Ms. Hedengren can help me by being more lenient when grading my papers :) Also, she can continue to help by giving comments and suggestions when individuals come in and meet with her during office hours. My greatest accomplishment this semester is probably staying alive; let's just say that the college work load is a little heavier than my senior-year-in-high-school workload was.
