This research paper is great for me to learn who to do because of  my major. Chemistry Education doesn't have that many research paper to write but in the fall I will be switching majors to Pre-Pham which I will need to be to write a research paper. I feel I will now be able to pass this class. I'm still working on building my confidence as a write. After complete this research paper I kind of understand how genres can become completely different just by changing basic element like location and contexts. During the peer review for the project, I felt that I could have given the other groups better advice because during that time I was listen to other group talk about what other could do with their papers in a very detailed way. During my spring break I learned something very important that will most likely change my views on English classes. I was able to find out what type of writer I was. With this knowledge I was able to help my group with the writing sections of the assignment and was not scare what my group and other students would say because I put my best effort in the tasks I was assigned to and helped out my other group mates with their tasks. I am looking forward to the unit in our class because I hope that it will help me build the confidence I need as a writer which I have been lacking for some time now. There is only 6 weeks left in this semester and I feel that there is so much more I need too learn.

I'm scared about where I am in this class. After see my midterm grade I know that I in trouble with a lot of things, but more importantly I scared about my academic probation. Now that we have started Unit 2 I'm start to many different type of genres. Like I never thought that Facebook status or text message were type of genre in English. I'm nervous about the project because I don't want my poor performance as a writer to hurt my grade but with this group project it also gives me the boost to become a better to help with the work load. I'm hoping that I can found more ways to use my creativeness because I'm not like most people I can't write an academic paper perfectly but I feel that can write stories. I still not sure about what going in this halfway blogs. I can't wait to officially start this project because taking the genre of To Do List and put it on flyer with pull off tabs in public places I feel is a proper way to break the standard English that we have grown up with. The research part of this project might be a little hard and creepy because we kind of have to sit and watch people look at the flyer and see how they react to it. On Friday I hope that we get all of these problem that I have been thinking about get answer or we find a way to fix them. For example, the flyer I made has everything that we talk about on Wednesday but, I feel that it is still too blank and need something special to make it stand out from the other fliers in the building that we pick to do our research in.
