Journal #1


Writing is a form of expression using a combination of words arranged in a particular order to mean something. A remix is similar in that it takes a song and changes it’s meaning completely by simply rearranging, as well as adding and deleting, certain portions. When writing we constantly recycle the same words, yet put together in our own way creates a new and original piece of work just as a remix does. So although something written likely has been said or expressed before, written in your own words create a new idea entirely from your own perspective. My expectations for this course would have to be to become a better formal writer and to learn to take advantage of all the resources and tools available to me at Florida State University. I am not a good writer but hope to gain some insight on what is expected of me when writing papers for all of my courses hereafter. I also hope the assignments and drafting schedule in this course will help me to gauge my time correctly to work on essays overtime so that I’m not attempting to finalize 1500 word paper in one night. I also hope this course enables me to critically analyze my own and my peers papers so that I’m better able to quickly identify and fix common mistakes I know are prevalent in my writing. Most of all I hope that this course will allow me to enjoy writing and English more, as they have always been subjects I’ve struggled in.
