While the draft I turned in on Blackboard of my podcast was not the best, I am proud of it (mostly because I figured out some of the editing). I was terrified that I would be chosen to present to the class. The last thing I want to do is listen to my own voice playing in front of an entire class. I can handle public speaking no problem but having to listen to my podcast with everyone really scares me. I would rather just turn it in and forget about it. While doing my re-genre project, I started to think about the cover letter we will write for our portfolio and I had a moment where I actually think I did learn something. One doesn't go to and English class expecting to learn much; we all know how to write. But I can see what Dr. B is trying to teach us and how he wants us to view academic writing differently. I also started working on my cover letter once I had that epiphany. I am glad I have something real to write about for that instead of having to make something up.
I feel like I have had so much to do these past few weeks and it is finally slowing down a bit and I can get on top of it all. My plan is to work on all of my essays over the break so I can hopefully come back and have my portfolio relatively done. I have every intention of making the most out of this break and getting a lot of my work done... hopefully I can actually stick with it!
