Let's just say I am super proud of what video and I hope who ever is out there enjoys my creation!

This process was a long haul for me. I figured that writing one page was not going to hard, but I was wrong. I really thought that I did a good job with my first draft until I had to write it out like five more times. Each time I wrote a new draft, I just keep getting more frustrated each time. I wanted to give up, but if you know me, I am not that kind of person. So with that in mind, I seek out for help at the writing center and then talked to the lovely dr. bonnie kyburz.

Setting aside time and editing the draft that I had at the time, I was able to finally wrap my brain around my mircotheme. I was able to finally see it and understand it for the first time. I do not know why I was so upset throughout the entire time I was trying to write this. My opinion is still 'don't do drugs,' but I can understand why people do it. It amazes me that I can say and see from that perspective cause I am very strong headed. I honestly think that was pushing me back from it all is that I know people that only had the worst outcomes from it all...DUI's, homeless, jobless, jail time, over doses, deaths... My boyfriend really helped me understand and opened my eyes about the topic because he is one of the people that I know that had a rough time in the past and is paying the consequences now.

After presenting my final work, I was able to finally breathe. I felt trapped with this paper. I was so happy though that the over all project was more of a life lesson. It opened my eyes and really made me more curious. My video really showed how both the deep, dark side to drugs and having quotes that was "positive" about drugs helped express the overall lesson that I learned...understanding people's choices and reasoning.

Running Around With My Head Cut Off

I am at the point where I am even clueless about my microtheme. I know what I want to write about, just having the problem how to write it and how the grader is going to like my writing. I feel that my topic is a good topic, it is just not showing through my writing apparently. I have really been struggling with this paper because I am now on my third draft and hoping that I do not need to rewrite a forth.

I can see what I am doing wrong, but I also see where I can be right also. I guess it comes down to how I word things and probably would have helped if I did not give my opinion in the first draft. My opinion seems to be the main problem, but I have not really restated it in the to the other drafts. I want to know if my topic is garbage now because of my opinion? if it is...I think it is very unfair if that is the case. I really thought this paper was on a topic we hate. The example used to explain the microtheme paper started with "I hate" which is what I used in my first draft.

I am confused now...

Suffocating

Struggling...like putting on a pair of skinny jeans

This microtheme for being so "TINY" is really kicking my butt "BIG" time. Just when I thought I got the paper down, something always seems to come back biting. Literally every time I try to write something that I think it is great, then I pretty much get told my paper is garbage without having to say the actual words. Trust me I get it....paper sucks, move on.

Soooo for this "TINY" project, I have re wrote my paper two times and I am planning on writing another draft. I do not know what to do any more. Should I re write my topic of the paper? or just stick with what I have and work off what I have been writing? PPLLEEAASSEE someone, something....give me a sign.
