Today was a HORRIBLE! I woke up to pounding on my door at two something in the morning because of the tornado sirens. The entire building had to go intoo the basement til it was clear, which wasn't until almost four in the morning. I have a class at nine, you can imagine my mood throughout the whole situation. After finallly falling asleep i was again woken up by my alarm this time. Finding the will to wake up and then stay up in classes was so hard lol!! but the only way to solve that problem is do what i do best which is take a nap :)

Today is a kind of exhausting day, I've been working on homework all day. First history, My least favorite subject of ALL time. Then it was time to work on some of my annotated bib, that's going OK not great but i'm getting there. Now it's time to do a little math excel homework which isn't so fun either. See how i spend my day, JUST GREAT, RIGHT!!!! :) I think it's time for a nap afterwards.

Today was the start of our conferences. Mine went pretty good better than i expected. I got clarity on things i was having a little trouble with and suggestions on my annotated bib, which is something i could use. I'm open for those :). Now it's time to jump on my paper.

A little late

Well i know its late but last class Thursday we did intensive review for the annotated bibs. The topics were interesting not like the general ideas, which is good. We still have to go over a few papers on Tuesday as well.We talked about the upcoming conferences that start on Tuesday, i think! We have to meet for a minimum of 15 minutes and be prepared with any questions we might have.

It was VALENTINE'S DAY YAY!!!!! but anyway today after a presentation of a fellow classmate we had a surprise quiz, what a way to start the day. McArdle looked kind of mad today and it was kind of scary to see him like that considering he's always talking about his hair being "awesome." The quiz wasn't that bad actually i knew most of what was on it beside one. Once the quiz was over we went over the answer that we should have known since we've seen it a thousand times then we broke off into our peer review groups and went over our rough drafts for the annotated bibs. Out of my group only two people showed but it was ok all the same. I'm really liking my topic :-) But i just have to say i went rock climbing last night, i made it all the way to the top before i had mini heart attack because i didn't want to come down (laughs).

Tuesday 02/08/2011

On this day we went over an old greek inquiry called the "stasis theory" this has six different aspets: Fact,  Definition, Interpretation, Consequence, Value, and Policy. McArdle says we should have all of these present in our upcoming paper the Annotated Bibliography. We also went over the criteris for the paper, which states we need 10 to 15 sources, the subject must be problematic, and around i'm guessing 10 to 12 pages as well. We wen over things to include or look at like Rhetorical gaze, Breadth, Controversy, and context.

Today we went over chapters 10 and 11 in class, these chapters talk about careful selection of sources and what questions to ask when reviewing sources such as who is the audience and why is our subject inportant and how current is our source. In chapter 11, it explains how to arrange your argument and deeply explains the purpose of the introduction and conclusion paragraph. We broke off into groups and went over an essay in our book, answer a few questions, and made suggestions. And that was our day.

Today in English class we turned in our National gaze papers which for one i am happy to be done with. My country was Thailand and it was very interesting but i'm ready to get started on my annotated bibliography because i think my topic is AWESOME!!! But besides that today we went over the criteria for or next paper, the bibliography. It doesn't sound so hard but then again i haven't started yet so we will see about that :-)
