Taking Stock (WRT106 Assignment)
In the past, writing has not been my strong point, though some of my former instructors may disagree. I have always struggled through writing assignments, especially those that were literary in nature. Research papers, or papers that involved writing about and interpreting factual information have, as far as writing goes, been my strong point. Though I have never gone so far as to create a portfolio, I have archived all of my mathematical reports, some of my creative pieces, and in general, those pieces that I actually liked. (Which aside from the math reports, number few.)
As a quiet, shy, and very independent person, I have never liked peer editing, and don’t tend to take it seriously. This is partially because I feel uncomfortable pointing out others’ grammatical errors and suggesting revisions to wording, et cetera. (unless it is someone with whom I am friendly.) In the past, this has led my instructors to repremand me for my blatant disregard for the peer editing process. As someone who’s bedroom’s entropy exceeds a large room full of helium gas, portfolios are not exactly my forte. My room’s disorder has overflowed into my desk, my backpack, and most importantly, my mind. One folder has always been enough for all my classes. Inside the folder, chaos prevails. The papers therein are organized on demand, and until there is such demand, disorder shall endure. December fourteenth will likely find me up into the wee hours of the night, anxiously trying to complete my portfolio.
