A Fresh Perspective

One thing that I have foudn to be a common benefit of taking english or some form of writing or reading, every year since high school, is that every year you learn a new approach. Different levels of writing allow for a bit more artistic freedom, in my opinion, as long as the basic criteria is met. Over the years I have been developing a style in my writing, a personal voice, and it is nice to finally be able to express it freely. I feel that I have become a strong writer but there are many things that I can improve on. The peer editing as well as the evaluation of a new teacher/professor, is a great way to find new strengths or weaknesses. It is still pretty on for me to evaluate how much I have been motivated by this class. For years I have kept a poetry journal, and enjoy writing essays (although not research papers, which I am dreading to write). So, i kinda don't feel like this class has added extra motivation. If motivation is maybe described as having motivation to do well in a college level english class than yes. this class is still one of my first college classes and it that respect always makes me feel a pressure to do well and a bit more intimidated. One thins that did stand out to me was discussing the arguments and sorting out different random topics and putting them together. The whole concept of "wallowing in complexity" is new and intriguiging it makes sense in an almost confusing and uncertain way. I definitely will take these concepts with me as I move on. I think the most exciting aspect of a writing or an english class is learning how to grow as a writer will learning how develope and manipulate your writing to fit many different purposes. I personally prefer something a bit more melodic, than what im writing now. i like to use allmost a random stream of thought, a constant flow of ideas. i like everything stringed together but not painfully obvious linear and 2-dimensional. i think it is important to do more writing than just putting words on paper. the ultimate purpose always seems to be the most interesting to elaborate upon. finding a new creative approch to something is exciting. ironically, i feel that in writing this blog it is unlike most of my writing inthe sence that i feel that it is, although it must be somewhat, direct i usually like to still maintain a certain voice. i dont know maybe im over analyzing or over thinking. today was a horrible day for me im tired and sore from the 12k AIDS walk yesterday..which i greatly underestimated, it was great though...ok random thoughts taking over...abort mission. end.
