Thlog 10: The Final Week

Well, Week 10 was one of success. Besides the horror of Dead Week and studying for hours on end, I received an awesome grade on my WP3, which was one of the best moments of my writing 2 career. WP3 was far from easy for me, but my hard work really felt like it paid off at the end. Even though I had to ditch my work and start over many, many times, by the time I was done, I thought my head was about to explode. But I knew I put my all into this project, and I was sure my grade would reflect that. When I opened up my Gmail and saw the email from Zack, I was so excited to see my grade. Not only did I do well on the project, but Zack wanted me to share it with the class. I felt much satisfaction with myself. I went from sitting at my desk at 3 in the morning, frustrated and sure I would fail the project, to sitting at my desk at noon smiling my face off. I had done it. Then I looked back on the class, and realized that everything I learned up until that point truly helped me with WP3, and I utilized all of those things to make my project a masterpiece. I realized I applied all of the knowledge I learned over the course, like making sure I had a purpose for writing, and using textual evidence to support all my claims. I felt like I really took the time to take all those things into consideration, and I finally understood why all those things were necessary. I really liked this writing project, and I felt like it really brought out my best work and forced me to be more creative and out of the box than I had ever been before during the course. It was an awesome project to end with, and I'm super happy with how it turned out. I can't wait to see how my portfolio will go next!
