This semester is going pretty well although it has started out slow. It took me a long time to get back in the schoolwork mentality. I’ll be honest I was just lazy, but I’m back on my feet and definitely ready to work. I want to know exactly what all my assignments done so that I can get a head start.
Like for Cap 123 for example, I would love to know what the writing assignments are going to be/ look like because without knowing how I will need to apply them later I feel lost. I need to know what particular information I should be retaining so that I’m in the right mindset when I have write papers. Especially since I have to travel so much because of my teeth (ugh 5 more months of braces!)
That brings me to Nobody Knows My Name by Baldwin. Although there were some interesting points made about defining himself, I’m not particularly fond of the book. This doesn’t make it to my list of recommendation. Still there is one statement at the end of the book that just stands out to me and I agree with it. “One can never really see into the heart, the mind, the soul of another….we do have a responsibility…to those who are coming after us” (240-241).
I’ll post a blog on the readings later because they were great!
There is just so much I want to do, but I tend to get too excited and overbook myself in things to do!
I really go by the motto: Work hard, Party hard!

I like that motto, Itzi. The work this semester is structured differently than it was last semester. Because of the link between 115 and 123, all of your instructors are sharing responsibility for helping you develop a whole view of interdisciplinary work. We will be handling different stages of your intellectual development this term, but working toward a common goal, and also sharing the final evaluation of the two major assignments that will be introduced in 115: the Visual Rhetorical Assignment, and your Freshman Symposium. Think of the 123 as the content, and the 115 as the form.
