Thrilling!

Okay! So, I've been in the English 202 class for a couple weeks now and, although some of the stories are pretty bad, I've really enjoyed learning how to write better in the sense of grammar, mechanics, style, form, and all the wonderful facets of creative writing! My teacher, Christopher Roberts, is hilarious! He likes poetry more than fiction, but goes both ways. He has a funny way of swearing and the hardest time finding the right word to express what he's trying to say. I catch myself finishing his sentences when he trails off into thought of the right word. I hope I'm not being annoying =P I do try to restrain myself more.

As for the class itself, I was thrilled when he pointed out that I did something right! It may be a small thing, but I'm so glad that God is shaping my writing and I'm actually improving! In one of my peer responses to someone's paper, I mentioned the concept of "Show, don't Tell," which my editor explained to me. He pointed this out in class, then elaborated on what that concept looks like in action. I'm so excited!

As for the writing itself, I hope to post my latest writing assignment here. It's an excellent time of fun! I didn't think I would have time to write it completely and turn it in by the deadline, and low and behold, I had it finished and submitted in an hour. And it is one of my favorite pieces yet!

So over all, this class has fulfilled my expectations of an enjoyable english class! I'm so thrilled!
