Hippy Midterms

I have never really been very comfortable with my writing skills, and I feel as if this class has help tremendously thus far. I am still in the process of building my writing confidence so I would say that my comfort level in this class is at a moderate level.
I have been trying to work on the time management Richard Light goal, and that hasn't been working out so well with all the problems I have run into this semester. The goal talks about how extracurriculars should not interfere with academic performance, and is about balancing my life. I definitely need to work more on this goal, and I have the motivation and energy now to do so.
For the rest of the semester I would like to work on sentence structure and just putting style into my writing. These small writing assignments help because I am then able to practice my writing voice in short and sweet paragraphs.
In regards to study groups, I think it is very helpful to have peer review sessions. I am usually embarrassed about my writing, so this forces me to show it to others and accept constructive criticism, so that I can improve.
The conferences we have with Ms.Hedengren are insanely helpful. In past classes I have not been able to have my papers looked over by a teacher and have not been give constructive criticism. It has helped me very much.
I am most proud of my improvement I have accrued this semester in my writing skills. I have not been as confident as I have now about my writing. I still have a long ways to go, but I feel as if this is a great start.
