That's the question I'm asking myself. I just reread what I posted in my very first entry on here from a few months ago, and what the hell? Wow, that was one deep thought I wrote. I was asked to say who I am as a writer, and I wrote something which I even have trouble analyzing completely. But I can understand my own self. Heheh, its odd trying to look at myself, yet look at the name of my blog for crying out loud.
As a writer, I now can change a few things about what I think. I can still get the job done which I'm supposed to do, and still have difficulty getting there, but I think I possibly have less trouble now. I still think some of the same thoughts, but I can indeed analyze better now, and definitely cite crap better too.
One thing I have learned about myself is if I try and write one paper that is long, and I lose track of my points, I do tend to start ranting about stuff, and even I will admit that. When I go back to revising now (which that skill is loads better), I look at my ranting and stuff that goes off subject, all I can do is laugh at it, because some of the junk I say is actually pretty amusing to me. I read over my wording and I think to myself, "Wow, I really said that?" This method of revising works well for me, and definitely constructs how the hell I am as a writer, which I proudly say that I am a personal writer. I put so much damn emotion and personality into my words that Writers' Block is always a problem with me.
Well, I don't know when the next time I'm going to update this blog, but I'll try to keep posting stuff. Thanks for following this blog, and I enjoy comments. Keep tabs on this thing, I'd like to come back and keep listing my own personal thoughts on whatever comes to mind.
Later guys,
Jake

S.L.O. Part 2
Okay, so this is the next part of that set of 3 entries on my abilities. I'll go after Critical Thinking first. Now, I think that even before this class I was already good at this, but I'll honestly say I think my skills have improved a handful at this. This relates to how I am as a writer by saying that I can read through a paper, then can go over and analyze just how exactly the points are important. That's all I can really say about it, I guess.
As for Writing an Academic Paper, I really don't know what to say. One thing for sure hasn't changed: I still hate writing papers. But, I can say that I'm better at writing them however, which is something all writers need, which is the ability to write papers that are good. As a writer, I personally don't like to compose these pieces of text, but I will if I have to. That's how I've been in the past, and I still am to this day. Yet, I still think about this, but I can't think of anything intelligent to say here. Damn it...
Um, I don't think my use of citing has changed at all. All of my big papers which I've written this quarter have all had to cite stuff. But I think that I've learned another way of citing things at least, and that's that odd APA format, because originally I only knew of MLA format. That's a start for college at least.
My theses tend to be more organized now, and that must be a good thing somewhat. I can't explain why though.. But also, one more thing, I also declare that I am better at revising and editing these papers for school, so I think that this class overall is something I needed to take, especially for my first quarter in college, so that way I'm ready to write more papers as I progress through college.
Last part of the SLO stuff coming up, keep reading these. Whoever is actually interested in them.

SLO Part #1: Reading & Research
Um, okay, this is an interesting prompt for these last few entries. So, I'm going to state the question again: We are supposed to reflect on the learning targets that were set at the beginning of the quarter and then also think about how I am as a writer? Okay then, I think I can do this. Here we go then:
First off, we had a target of learning on reading. Wow, what a surprise there (sarcastic). I honestly would be shocked if a writing class did not involve reading in some way shape or form, and I know I'm right on this. But I can say seriously that I can do close reading. Naturally I am a good reader. Not only can I read fast, which I've been able to for years, but I can also identify the key points that I see in the writings. I know I need to know these things because it shows that my strength as a writer is much stronger than ever.
As for research, that's a no brainer to me. Research makes me think back to junior year English class, since we had that damn JRP, or Junior Research Paper. Anybody remember that fucking paper? That thing sucked big time, and I am honest when I say it sucked. It had so much freaking research for it, and it was a very important high school paper too. But I know already from in the past that researching stuff is easy for me. As a writer, its important to know how to research topics because it gives you more evidence to work on your examples for your arguments with.
I'll work on the next SLO entry later.

R.E. - V.I.S.I.O.N.
I really don't know how to react to that video we just saw guys. All I keep hearing going through my head is "Performance, feedback, revision." Its just repeating in my head. I think I know what revision is, but I'm no dictionary. Everyone knows that.
Honestly, in my own words, revision is basically reviewing and editing a paper you have already done to make it look even better than the original. Hell, that could be just the freaking definition for editing, but I really could care less about what the exact definition of revision is. This post is about what I think it is, and I'm sticking by that.
You see, that's one of the things I like about having this freedom to blog our own way, it makes doing these entries that much easier. But let me get to the point before I start ranting off like usual. Revision is a big part of the writing process. Its how you get a paper to being at a stage of not only a good paper, but a great paper. Damn, it could be even better than great, if you are able to do that. I know that the essay I plan on revising, which is my second essay, needs a shitload of editing to be done, but I know that this particular essay in question is the one that NEEDS to be my final. I break revision down personally to being simpler to understand to me, and that is re-vision, and that's how I see what it means to me. Eh, I'll rant later about it, I want more time to think about how to make it look easier to understand for those who don't get what I mean.

I hate writers' block...
I do, so much. Oh my god, it was so difficult to write out that essay, but in the end, I managed to get the damn thing done. However, I can say that I'm not too confident in it, because I feel like it could use some more work, but if what I hear is true, then I'll be able to have that chance to improve that second essay again, and I might have the opportunity to make it a great paper for that final essay assignment, but idk, I guess its all up to chance. But right now I'm waiting on the readers' reviews to come back with some feedback on that paper I wrote, and I expect there will be quite a few points, because I think there might be some places where there needs to be change. But, in other news, that presentation that I'm doing with a group is basically done now, and thanks to Jamie, the powerpoint looks great. Hopefully tomorow it makes an impact at the Student Showcase.

2 Sources so far, but what about the 3rd?
Ugh, I can't think of a freaking third source, and it's driving me crazy! I have to have 3 separate sources for this new essay, and I can't think of a third source, and it has to be one of my own choice.
So far, I plan to use a small amount of the Blogging book, and I plan to use a decent amount of that article that Kathleen West wrote on her research on her students in her English Class. I think that I can compare to the idea that the blogs of the students show a great deal of their identity in their blogs. But, I still can't think of where I can find another place to get information off of, and its pissing me off. I don't know what to do, and I have an annotated bibliography that is due in the morning with ALL 3 SOURCES ON IT! I have the first 2 done, but I still can't find another. I'm suffering from writer's block, and im overwhelmed. I'm screwed...

No Changes. Yet.
The essay changed. Now we have two more options to choose from for prompts for our essays for writing. However, I don't like either of them. Neither of the other two sound like I can compare to them at all. I still think that Prompt #1 is the most relevant and easier for me to connect to.
This blog itself is what I plan to think about when it comes to this next essay. I think that I have put so much of myself into these entries without thinking about it, that I have basically made the prompt easier on me that is coming up. I can't really explain why, but I just know it. I've got a feeling about it, and usually my feelings turn out to be at least a little accurate.
I have no idea if this essay prompt I plan to use will work out in the end (I only just really started this), but you never know if my shrewd ideas will change. I guess I'll find out later on...

No Words Left to Express
*sigh*
Sorry that it took so long for me to write this out, I had a rough weekend and didn't have much time to write this out for class. Its a long story.
I was able to read that article, well, I at least read the most of it, and it was an interesting read. I'm surprised about how this experiment that this teacher tried out with her students worked out with the blogging, and I have to say that it seems like it works well for her class. I have to say, I like the idea of letting the students go ahead and be themselves online when it comes to these blogs that they were supposed to do, and its interesting to me.
Interesting. That's all I can really say about the article. I mean, I have my ups and downs about this, and I don't know what I can say. I guess I can try and explain in class, but please don't expect much out of me, I'm still bothered by what went down over the weekend...

Mental Dumping of My Thoughts on Essays
Let me just get straight to the point: I honestly cannot stand writing. I can't stand them. And I always have been that way, there's no changing my views on them. I struggle with writing all the time, mainly because I have difficulty putting my thoughts that I want to write onto paper into text. And this paper was no different.
I'm relieved that this essay is finally finished. This stressed me out big time. I really don't know how I managed to get this essay finished in the first place. But it's done, and I'm happy about that. When I first did my original draft I didn't feel like I had a thesis to it, or even a point. I think I kind of just rambled on and on about nothing. I tend to do that whenever there's a page minimum and I don't know where to start on it. When we did those powerpoint presentations, this changed somewhat. After lots of thinking and arguing with myself, I finally managed to find a freaking thesis and point to my paper about that travel blogger, which lifted a large chunk of burden off my shoulders. But, I then compared my powerpoint to my draft of my paper, and holy crap, they were almost completely opposite! That pissed me off a lot, because then I knew I had to redo almost the whole damn paper. Honestly, the draft was really messed up. However, I had some paragraphs which supported my overall thesis already there in the paper, so I started by rewriting the entire introduction to my research paper, then reorganized the rest of it, deleted 4 paragraphs, and replaced them.
The finished result that I call my "Essay" was soooo much better than I was expecting. I say that because I suck at writing papers like this, and I was expecting much less than I was capable of. But at least this damn paper is over with. Now I'm just concerned about the next essay prompt, and I hope that this next one isn't too difficult for me. What's considered "Easy" to others is usally "Hard" for me personally.

Presentation: Done, but wasn't supposed to do it that early.
And I think that thought from my title has a point to it. I did my presentation powerpoint in class, but I was not scheduled for Tuesday. I instead offered to go in somebody's place because she wasn't ready yet. I think I honestly did better than I thought I would.
Now, I can say this: my powerpoint was nowhere near the idea of 'perfect'. I considered it sloppy, and I believe that it could have been a hell of a lot better, but I had no damn time to work on it. I've been so damn busy lately that I feel like deadlines are starting to get to me. I feel overwhelmed and screwed.
I looked at the feedback that I received, and I understand what you guys wrote for me, but almost all of it was the same. "Narrow your thesis", "Too much text in powerpoint", "You rambled on quite a bit".
Ugh, I know that my presentation was a piece of junk! But just remember that I had no time to work on preparing. When I first wrote out that powerpoint, I honestly was just writing out my thoughts straight onto the pages so that there was something there. I could easily have done the presentation without the visual background and have done the exact same as I did on Tuesday.
*sigh* Oh well, the point is, my paper is looking a tad bit better, and hopefully by Wednesday it looks a lot better, and that my thesis is the same on paper as it is in my mind. I know what I want to say, its just that whole damn thing about me not being able to copy out my thoughts legibly into a piece of literature, like my essay. Once again, wish me luck, I know I'm gonna need it...

No point seen in putting a title up if one doesn't make sense.
And that's my point of my blog entry. Haha, not.
I've been thinking about how I could possibly incorporate Blogging into my essay, and believe me, its very confusing. I have had a lot of difficulty trying to figure out what I could possibly put into this essay draft, and what I came up with is that Gary Arndt's blog, Everything Everywhere, has more of a personal yet informative blog style. I think of this, because Arndt has multiple perspectives that are shown everytime you look at his blog. But I think I can narrow it down to at least two styles, which are informative and personal. Just thinking of this actually helps me out a decent amount, because my essay needs quite a bit of work, especially on my thesis, which is finding out what exactly is Gary Arndt trying to do with his blog.
I think that this will help out a decent amount with my revising, maybe I ought to get to work on it.
Wish me luck guys, I'm gonna need it.

Start: Yes. Finished: Get Real.
My first draft is complete, and it even surprises me that it looks the way it is! It took some time to work on, seriously, but I officially have about 4 and a third pages of writing for my essay on traveling. After going through that workshop yesterday, I have to say that I am personally surprised at not only the feedback I got, but on how I reviewed myself as well. I say that because I am too hard on my own work, not kidding. I really do overjudge my own works of literature, and I always have.
The feedback that I received was good enough for me. I think that my challenges right now are to go ahead and try and make my own points make a little more sense to me. They show the points about my blogger I'm following in the paper, but it doesn't appear until much later in the paper than it is supposed to. I think I need to try and fix that, and bring it more forward in the work. If you have seen the draft, can I get some help, please?

Not much to start with, but Its a start. Sorta
So, I think I've got my research started on my essay. But, I only think so.
I have chosen to do my essay on traveling. But more in depth, I'm thinking about doing something from a cultural aspect. What I mean by this, is that I plan to take a look at some entries on my chosen blog, and then I'll analyze them from a culture standpoint.
I like the blog I chose. Its about one person who has been traveling the world since 2007. At the top of his page he shows where he currently is in the world, with a date of the post. His posts are from a personal, and an informative point of view, which I believe will help me to support my paper best.
However, I am having some problems with my research. I have decided to change my topic to culture from something else, and I still have yet to figure out where I can see what I need.... But then again, I haven't really looked in depth at this blog too. My bad.
Oh well, the point is, I'm started on my research, and if I keep looking at this particular blog, then sooner or later I'll find some stuff I can use, right? Right.

Blogging: Digital Media and Society
So, I just finished reading Blogging a few minutes ago, and wow, its very interesting, but also incredible too, in a few ways. For one thing, I find it hard to believe that blogging has been around for as long as it has been. According to the book, blogging has existed almost as long as the internet itself has, which means to be that blogging is older, yet it is still growing in popularity. From regular people, to a family using the same blog, to also travel agents posting brochures through each blog post, with one for each area or country.
What I thought was most interesting and also incredible was that businesses also blog. That fact was probably the most interesting thing I read in the whole book. To me, I wouldn't think a business would blog, because they are always so busy and wouldn't have the time to do anything like a web log. But the book says that they use blogs to do a variety of things. One of these reasons, is so that these participating businesses can follow conversations about them which exist online already, and to reply to them. This is a very good reason to me, and I believe that it works well, since a company could listen in, or read the comments posted about them, and use those comments and topics to grow their business, and format it to satisfy the wants and needs of the consumers and clients. So, what I mean is to use them to grow, and improve what they have already started.
Another thing I think is very intriguing is the usage of hoax blogs through the past. These have gotten very negative impacts, but these only happened after the revalation of them being fake. There have been two very big blogs in history that were the biggest hoaxes. One of them was a written blog, and the other was a video blog. These both had very interesting views to them as the two stories continued, but after a while, they were revealed to be fakes. However, the video blog was meant to be fiction from the beginning, so this made the views even more odd. Furthermore, these blogs eventually helped to increase the amount of popularity that blogging has today.
That was the biggest shocker to me surprisingly, and, overall, I think that Blogging was a unique book to read, and I would recommend this book to either bloggers, history buffs (people who like to learn history) for the internet, and anybody in general who would like to read a good book.
Until the next post, keep following me here. I'd like to see some comments please! :)

Likes, Interests, or Wants, of Blogging
So, when I think of blogging, I tend to gather lots of thoughts. I like reading in many forms, but when it comes to types of blogs I like reading, I really can't explain what I like. I honestly think that the styles of blogging that I like range from informative blogs to also personal blogs, especially ones that have to do with emotions and relationships. I don't know why I like reading relationship blogs, but they interest me.
I believe that I want to try and learn more about both styles, personal and informative blogs, but this blog will be an informative blog to the best of my ability. I do like to learn about new things that interest me, and informative blogs are a source where you are able to learn new things, which is what I as a blogger like.

Who Am I As a Writer?
This question is very confusing, yet understandable at the same time. You ask me this: Who am I as a Writer? Well, I'll try.
When I think of myself, I think of me as a novice, yet not. I don't think that I am in any category of skill level for writing.
I struggle, yet I complete.
I analyze, yet I also can't.
When it comes to writing, I describe myself, Jake Wheeler, as a work in progress. I may not be great at writing, but I also do not suck at it. Time is what I rely on to create my pieces of text.
Follow me, and I will show you how I can write.
