Blog Entry 12/9

So today is dead day at SJSU and I couldn't be more happy about that! I really need a day off to finish whatever I need to finish. But I hear that other schools have a dead week rather than a dead day... I'm jealous. Anyways, yesterday I had my Edco final. It went well, I came early so I could get started sooner. My friend and I finished early so we left. The professor told us both that since we never missed a class, we could use her as a reference whenever we needed it. I was so glad to hear that because I don't really have any references. It feels good knowing I have at least one, haha. I guess it does pay off to not miss classes.

Blog Entry 12/7

Finals are coming up! I just had my English1A final on Saturday. The topic of the essay was oddly about English writing courses. The excerpt was about how writing courses should not only be about preparing a student for the workplace but to prepare students to be active participants politically. Like how writing courses help you become a better writer and reader so that you will be able to vote or go into politics. Writing courses are also suppose to help you learn something about yourself. English classes have definitely helped me learn about myself in ways I never knew. You read a lot of different stuff in writing classes that make you think a certain way.

  • Meet with your professors: There are only upsides to getting to know your professors, especially if later in the semester you run into some snags. Professors schedule office hours for the sole purpose of meeting with students -- take advantage of that time.

  • Don't procrastinate; prioritize your life: It may have been easy in high school to wait until the last minute to complete an assignment and still get a good grade, but that kind of stuff will not work for you in college. Give yourself deadlines -- and stick to them.
