This week was a great week. I learned all about MLA format. I took a lot of time on the quiz to answer all the questions. I am continuing to learn more about MLA format. The annotated bibliography was easy using the citation website to help me cite the information I researched. After doing some research my mind is conflicted about how I feel about sports teams traveling during covid. For my reading response, I was very happy with how I responded to my classmate using a template. They help me with the correct grammar and better wording. I really enjoyed learning about citations this week and I hope I am doing them right. I am nervous about writing a whole essay and having to insert citations. That's my concern at the moment. Do I use "quotations" on each thing that I'm citing? I feel a bit confused but hopefully, I will understand it as we go. Bring on week 11. Thank you to my teacher for all his extra help. Excited to learn more about this next week.

Today I took the day off to make sure I did all my school work.  But I work up to text messages my mom fainted in the building she lived in from her blood sugar. She has diabetes. Someone found her in the hallway. She was unresponsive and rushed to the hospital. Luckily they were able to bring her back to stable condition. I was very upset all day. My mom lives in Florida so I felt helpless. I found myself making phone calls all day. My family and I were all scared. When I talked to her she forgot where I lived. Why did this have to happen on the day I took off to get my school work? It was a terrible day. Thankfully she is doing much better. She is still admitted in the hospital. I started to revise my essay around 8 pm. When I was done, I was extremely proud of myself. I feel like this revised essay is so much better than my first essay. I have a really good feeling that I will keep learning and get better and better at writing. Yes, repetition. Repetition is how I am going to le...

Today's blog is all about Essay 3. I am feeling very overwhelmed. I have all this information I have been learning and I don't know how to put it into words. Overwhelmed is an understatement. It is very easy for me to complete quizzes where I can find the answers in reading or complete a small assignment. But when it comes to writing, for some reason it becomes very difficult for me. In chapter 7 So what? who cares? I didn't really understand what it was telling me to do. And how do I incorporate that into my essay? I have started the introduction of this rough draft and I have brainstormed a little bit but as far as the rhetorical appeals, I am also a little confused. I am definitely ready to write an essay with my argument that Athletes should not travel during covid. I will research different stats and put that in the essay. But like I said we have just been learning so much and it's a lot for me right now. I am excited to see tomorrow what I can accomplish.

I have to admit I was a little nervous coming into this week because there are new assignments we are doing. I was able to figure it out and I kind of guessed the answers. I kind of understand it. I understand that "they say" the other people's opinions in Balkos writing. Is that right? and the I say is what the author opinions are. Right?  But it was still hard for me to pinpoint the exact "They say" parts. I probably got them wrong in the first part where we had to high light the "they say". I wish we had this English class on campus. I feel like it would have helped me understand better. But I am doing the best I can and I don't think I am working Wednesday night so I can join my teacher's Office Hours next week,
