In my first post, "my writing process," I talked about how I write very little, and how I'm not a particularly good writer, probably because of that. I feel that now, I'm a little better, as I have written so much this semester, and been forced into those other categories, by participating in pre-writing work and revisions. However, the core of my view hasn't changed: I still don't enjoy writing, and I've already reached the point where I can write well enough. For example, in my other classes (and these are college-level writing situations), I very easily just wrote in a stream of consciousness (no revisions or pre-writing work), and got all A's. By this I mean that, while I don't think I'm an exceptional writer, I have the skills I will actually need to apply in any situation outside of an English class.
*I don't mean to poop all over this class - regardless of my attitude, it was very successful in forcing me to grow as a writer. The practice analyzing and actively thinking through text I did will continue to benefit me whenever I need to write.*
In terms of my prediction and plan for time management that I talked about in my second post, "Calendar Reflection," I thought I might be proactive each week. It turned out that I did have as much time as I though I would, but I never felt like I did. Maybe college freedom made me spend way too much time on other things that I wanted to do - and not much of it was actually video games - leaving me to do my homework for long periods of time. Ultimately I knew I might do all my work on Saturdays, as I implied with my tone in that post, But it all worked out all right.
For the future, I think, as I said, I'll be all right as far as writing goes. It might seem like my work ethic is trash, but I do enough work, and in subjects I have an interest (and no mental barriers stopping me from hating what I have to do), I have and will put in much more time and effort, because I choose to study those things.
