My final paper

At this point, I feel my paper is pretty good. I feel very confident but I am also very tired. This paper took a lot of time away from my family. I do not have a different point of view on writing. I still do not like writing and hopefully I am done with my writing classes. It is kind of fun to research a topic but there are some topics that I want to research but they are too contrivesial to have as a research topic for class. I think that some of those topics can be researched and written about without causing havoc in the class. I would like to research about breast cancer, migraine headaches, abortion, teen pregnancy and many others.

The writing process

Some issues I have had through the writing process were choosing a topic, coming up with a thesis statement, and creating a conclusion. I had a hard time choosing a topic because I wanted to write about migraine headaches and then I discovered that someone else in the class had that topic so I chose breast cancer but it turned out that some had that topic as well so I chose to write about cystic fibrosis. I probably could have went with one of the other topics that I had chosen but I wanted to be different. I had a hard time with the thesis because I just don't have a very creative imagination so I could not come up with a real catchy one. Same goes for the conclusion. I know that part of the conclusion is to restate your thesis but that is only one sentance. I still had to come up with a least four more sentances to make it a whole paragraph and I have to do this without introducing new information.
I sort of wish that more posts were made to my blogs but I know that everyone is busy because I am busy as well. Just finding the time to even do school work is becoming more difficult these days. I like the blog because it gives me a chance to express myself but I think that for it to be a requirement in a class is kind of silly. It is a waste of time because I have more important things to work on like my paper. I do not think I will continue to write in my blog after this class is over unless another class of mine makes it a requirement.

Great Holiday Break

Well, I had a great holiday break but it was not long enough. I was not ready to return to school but even if we had another week, I would say the same thing. Breaks are never long enough.
The writing process has helped me a lot when preparing my research paper. I wish I would have learned about the writing process when I was in high school. I think that I would have got better grades if I was taught to write a paper properly. I think the hardest parts of the writing process are picking a topic, writing the thesis, and writing the conclusion. I know that the conclusion should be easy but for me it is hard. I think the hardest part of all is picking a topic. You have to pick a topic that is not too broad but not too narrow and it has to be a topic that is non-controversial and one that you can find enough information on to be able to write a 5-6 page essay. Whew, that is tough.
