Blog Post 2 : BC Response

After going through writing boot camp during the first couples of weeks of class, the most significant thing that I learned was about revision. I learned that writing is primarily all about revision! I also found out that it’s not just about revising grammar and punctuation but the content as a whole. I thought that writing the American Literature essay day by day and revising it little by little really demonstrated how important it is to revise your essays a lot. Having opportunities to revise each part of our essay was definitely helpful for me. Due to the fact that writing is such a hard subject for me and I need a lot of time to have a paper come together and being able to revise it multiple times helps. From editing my homework little by little the content of my paper completely switched from one view to another. So I would say that this process of multiple revisions was helpful. And now I know that it’s ok to have mistakes in your papers because confronting them is the first step towards revision.

Blog Post 1 : About Me

Hey my name is Cammi Powers and so far my first year here at Washington States has been great. I survived my very first semester, joined a great sorority, only had to use my map twice, and managed not to get too home sick. I am from Woodinville Washington and I think it’s great there. I moved to Woodinvlle from Kent when I was one. So I have basically lived there my whole life which has been perfectly fine with me. I live there with my mom, dad, sister, and my dog. I do miss them but not as much as i thought i was going to. As far as my writing goes I am going to be honest here, I really don’t like writing. English has always been one of my least favorite subjects and I am not very good at writing. I dread whenever I have to write an essay, and I know that in college I am going to have to write a lot over the next four years. So I am hoping that taking this class will helpimprove my nonexistent abilities of writing. During high school my grades where always pretty important to me and that hasn’t changed since I have been to college. Yes my grades did slip a little bit last semester but I am thinking that I am not the only one who experienced that. I’m hoping that I can raise my GPA a little bit after this semester.
