Wallowing in English

I despise writing.  This loathing is what sparks my hatred for any and all english classes I have ever taken.  While I'm not a fan of this class either, it is exponentially better than any class I've previously taken.  To say I don't hate this class means a lot considering English 101 is primarily a writing course.  This whole class and the approach it takes is a new experience for me.  The school I came from, was not very strong academically which I believe accounts for at least some part of my lack of writing abilities.  I enjoy this class because it makes me take a fresh perspective on everything.  I'll be sitting in the Hans eating another bland meal and I'll find myself looking around and taking in all the 'evocative details'.  Project 1 was a great assignment that gave us students free reign in our ideas and creativity in writing the paper.  This was very bad for me.  I would think being able to write about whatever would make the assignment easier, but it had the exact opposite effect on me.  I found myself not being able to narrow down my topic or arguments.  For me, it is much easier to write on these blogs and I very much enjoy doing so.  I feel less stressed, and I am able to think clearer and express my ideas in a more effective way.  I am very glad that I decided to take the hybrid course and plan on continuing to do so in following terms if at all possible.
