Week 15

I've really improved on my writing in general. I've recently been writing without having to add alot of fluff to made a word count or a page count. I had really big problems with that before and I still do because I run out of thing to say about a subject or I don't have anything else to add. I still struggle on trying to get things done before they are due. This whole semester I've done things the day before they were due because I couldn't find the motivation to do them before. I've always been able to concentrate on homework but this year it seems a little different. I think having papaers pertaining to the same thing all semester shouldn't be done. I know I've lost my will to write about my subject because I'm burnt out on it. By adding something fresh, you brining the students mind off the subject for a week or two and letting them try something new. I think I could have done really good for more conferences with drafts and final papers. That way you can see how to improve on your next paper.

Week 10

I'm going to start by giving the reader some insight on the culture and my background. I want them to understand why I chose to do such a new culture. I may be a outsider but I'm trying to understand everything I can about the culture. I'll tell people in the paper how it has changed even though people's views about it hasn't. I plan on using header for everything because it will be easier. Usuallu, I'm good with transitions but this paper doesn't seem to want to work well. I think it will be more effective if I use headings. The information includes everything and yet had nothing in common. It will be easier for me to do this paper in the end with headers to give the readers some idea what the sections is about. I'll finish the paper in a way that will give the culture a hopefully outlook and have others see that perhaps they were judging and are interested in seeing how Wicca will emerge and become one of Amerca's top religions.

Week 14

My best peiece of work if the paper I just did. The research proposal was something that I actually understood because I was use to doing a lot of research on the subject. It seemed to be a good way for me to just let everyone know why I was doing it and how I was going about of writing with twelve page enthography. I enjoyed talking about how I would work with it. This culture is something that will be useful for any future stories and the research proposal helped me realize that. At the beginning I was just wanting to do something off the wall and strange because I didn't want to do what others were doing. In the end it paid off. I'm a little burned out on the subject but I've recently found some more infor that has sparked it and I hope I can put it into my research.

Blog Cut Ups

I'm standing in a shop that has some new age stuff, because it was my sister's freshman year. But in contrast, I was nervous that I would say something wrong or I am able to converse and observe other employees and customers. The incenses may not have been lighted but I asked a member of CRU her opinion on people partying. I could sense that she enjoyed our conversation because she started focusing her attention more on my sister was a strong asset to the team and everyone had high hopes for her. Soon more people come in looking at the shirts that it is very laid back. My family was on the edge of there seat and I would always in return disappoint them no matter what my excuse.

Week 13

I'm standing in a shop that has some new age stuff. Slowly, I walk around looking at everything. Not many people came in here but I know people come here to get incenses for rituals and other things that they can get. Their scent fills the air around them and I smile because I recognize a few from the scents I have at my house. Fascination is written over my face as I look around. I don't know the person who works here. It a different person every time I come in. This time its a girl with blond hair who is working. It seems like she's busy with the magazine in her hand. When she notices me just walking around, she comes up and asks if I need help finding anything. I knew I wasn't going to buy anything but I still liked being in there. I respond and just tell her no and that I'm just looking around. The place is dim lighted and instrumental music is playing from the intercom. The incenses may not have been lighted but it was easy to tell when you were near them. Her voice is polite and yet somewhat eager to help share the knowledge that she has. Smiling, she goes back to the magazine she is reading as if I'll leave anytime soon. Soon more people come in looking at the shirts that they sell and the girl is busy helping them. She was enthusiastic about telling them about the store and how much she enjoyed working there.
