Unit 9 Almost Final

For once I am trying to knock out some assignments early especially since my husband I are finally getting to go camping this weekend. At the moment I still have a some to do before my paper is final and can be turned in.  I still need to write my abstract, add a little to my 2nd and 3rd paragraph, and go over my paper a few more times to make some last revisions.  Aside from those last things to do I feel pretty good about my paper.  I think the difference between how I felt about the paper I wrote last term for Writing Composition 1 is that I got a really good grade on my first draft for this paper, whereas I didn't get a very good grade for my formal outline last term and a lack of help from the professor.  So the confidence of a good grade and really putting forth an effort to use the information I learned last class really helped for me to write this paper.  I do however think that my writers block and the different obstacles that occur make a big impact of how well my writing flows out and onto the paper/screen.  I feel a little nervous when I think about what I have to do and if I'm giving myself enough time to do it, and all the errands I have to do and things that pop up and make making time for school work difficult or my brain not working and wondering when it will work when I need it to!  But I remind myself that I do always get it done so I try not to over worry myself.  When I turn it in I will probably celebrate with a drink and feel good that I am done and spend the next day relaxing.  At this point my idea of writing hasn't changed much from how I've always felt about writing.  Sometimes I am really good at it without trying and other times I stare at my screen confused and dumbfounded, sometimes my writing flows and other times I can't get anything to come out.  I have definitely learned a lot from Writing Composition 1 and 2 and I don't think my papers would be good enough without these classes.  When I write papers in the future I will remember the things that I was taught in these classes and know where to look for help and what areas I need to pay attention to so that I continue to get good grades and be able to evolve as the classes get harder and more professional.  There are a ton of topics that I would love to research and write about such as herbalism, natural products, aromatherapy, acupuncture, chiropractic, ways to be healthy, what works, what doesn't work, etc...  I want to build a collection of all of the papers that I write throughout college so maybe I can share them with others in the future.  I would very much like to be an influential voice in helping people take an in depth look at health and be more aware of what is going on in the health world.
