How I did in class this week...

I decided to write about how I did in class this week since my essay was due Wednesday and we did a lot of work with that.  Overall, I was very proud of myself.  Last weekend when I was writing my first draft, I felt sort of at a standstill.  However, during the week when I was writing my draft that was due on Wednesday, I really picked my essay apart and made a lot of changes.  I am fairly happy with the way things turned out, and I feel that I have sort of grown as a writer.  I am not at all used to writing personal essays, so this was sort of exploratory for me.  I took a broad look at the essay and took a step back to look at the purpose.  Also, the comments from the peer revision sort of helped me to realize that the reader was not feeling my intended effect.  

I hope that this next week and in the future I can start using my group time more wisely.  While I feel like I made a lot of positive changes, I would like to start getting more feedback from others and work off their ideas as well.
