I get that my post are bi-polar but thank you for sticking with it. I know on some days I relish in the thought of free writing, of posting anything but not today! Aaron has started to assign post that are trying my patience. I mean we already post on blogger and have to turn in our assignments through Blackboard, which is fine but now we have to post in a third place! The discussion board, not only my least favorite aspect of Blackboard but now I have to post almost the same info in three different places! I don't have the time and more realistically the patience for that! Your killing my Aaron! But lets move on...the play list. I understand it's an artistic way to express your feelings and creative way to get to know people and their projects. However, it's just busy work! How does that help my research paper, a paper the course revolves around but we haven't even started it. I mean we've done small papers leading to the research paper but we haven't spent time talking about the paper. We talk about Aristotle's view on Rhetoric instead. I studied Aristotle's philosophies in high school, I'm over it! And I feel no connection between Aristotle and my research paper. Let's focus, can we? I mean this avoiding the issues is just going to hurt us in the end. I just want to start the paper. I'm already sick of writing already, and we haven't even started the writing aspect of the class. Just give me the guidelines, the direction, the rules I need to know for the research paper and let me go! Time in class is wasted over discussions that to be honest, I tone out! The class confuses me more than just letting me write. I'm done, so done! I'm over it!
Love,
Put me out of my misery!
It's not ethical to "put you out of your misery". I have a responsibility...
ReplyDeleteI realize that its midterm, you are anxious to get on with the assignment, get the grade, wash, rinse, repeat. However, if anything greater is to come of this process, this journey, then trust that all writing makes you a better writer, and that only by allowing for uninhibited written expression can you really grasp how your Amelia the person ethos can be reconciled, folded into, and express the humanity within Amelia the scholar ethos. This integration is the key.
