For our next Argument Essay, I feel it's going to be kind of tough. The topic I picked is about tanning, being against using tanning beds because of all the risks it brings to your health and body. I hope I can find enough information to make this essay work because I think it could really change people's minds about tanning.

Our last essay though, the classification one, I loved! I thought it was so fun writing this essay. Even thought i'm not completly done with the final draft I feel that I am writing it alot better than any other essay I have written. So hopefully for this next essay will be as good as the classification!

I am not looking forward to this argument paper very much. I'm sure it won't be hard to write the five pages we need to but it's not that that I don't look forward to, it's all the note taking and finding sources and all that stuff that I don't like doing. I know we have to but it is just extra stuff that takes time.

Another thing I wanted to discuss was the workshop days. I thought the new way we did workshops work much more effectively than the old way. With only two people in a group it goes a lot smoother and a lot more can be done in less time. When it was four people in a group not even everyone got involved and it was such a hurry to get done. I also like how we actually had a worksheet to answer questions on so we knew pretty much exactly what we were looking for.

Who likes argument papers? I am so nervous that I am not going to finish on time, or it will not be a good paper. I know in class Jennifer has said not to worry so much about not finishing but the worry is always still there. It is so hard to think that in a few weeks we will be cramming to write a 7 page paper while still finishing every other classes homework. The hardest thing about the whole paper is coming up with a good topic to use. I personally did not have a topic until yesterdays class and had thought about it all spring break. I hope now that the topic will be a good one and there will be the information out there that I will need to write a well educated paper. I have also been learing a lot in class about different things with writing. I never in my right mind thought that there would be so many things having to do with writing a good paper. Like falacies, how many different ones there are. I just thought you could be biased about something but all of those falacies. That just blows my mind. I am really hoping in the end that I have a good argument in my paper and I am not too biased and use these falacies to give people the wrong impression of my paper.

Argument papers, where to start is what I am thinking. This paper is going to be one of the hardest papers I think. I need to have a good topic and the one that i thought I might do I now think that I do not want to do it anymore. I am probably thinking about the topic to much that nothing is coming to mind all though I know there are allot of simple topics that I have in my daily life that I could write about. There is so much that has to go into the paper that it is overwhelming. I feel like I will never be able to get it done although at the same time I know that it will get done. The last time I had to write a paper like this was in high school and that was a few years ago and that one was hard as well. I think out of all the papers that I have had to do in my writing classes this by far is the most scariest paper to write.

So with this new argument paper rollin around the corner, I'm struggling to find a good topic. It may or may not be a good time to stop by the learning center! I thought of that option, or just waiting a bit longer (hopefully it won't be too long to to the point where I'm not procrastinating)until I run into to something, perhaps in the paper/on tv... and that it'll be something I know a lot about and that relates to me in some sort of way. Hmmmmmm... With that being, handing in the last few papers has done me in. I feel I could've done a way better job with a better topic, more time, and extra extra revising. But those are almost always a factor no matter what. I think the RESEARCH for the argument paper will be fun though... it's just the hard part to actually write it. I think my writing will alwayas need hours after hours after MORE hours of time. I've realized how much I've struggled, and I know from previous little hints that I've got something in me to, by golly, pull off a decent paper.

Once again, my other classes are helping me out greatly in our College Writing class. Our next paper, our arguementive essay, is going to be a lot work. It's going to consist of a lot of hard work and a lot of time. This isn't going to be a bad thing in any way, just a challenge. The topic of this essay is very important because it has to be debatable and have enough information to be able to be worked into 5-7 pages. I wanted to come up with a topic that hasn't been overdone and may possibly even be new to some people. This is where my Criminal Justice class comes into play. A fellow classmate of mine was doing a current event story and they were talking about drug testing in schools. I have never heard much about this and thought that it would be very interesting to research it and see what it's all about. I dont really have a side on it yet, but hopefully after a lot of research I'll be able to have a strong opinion on it and be more informed on the subject. It will be interesting to see where this paper goes and what side I decide to argue upon.

we are now talking about the argument paper in class. i havent thought that hard about a topic to write about, although i think im probably going to write about school lunches. once i start researching im sure i will be able to find alot about the different sides of what people want from a school lunch, from fast food establishments to the normal school food and how it affects the students, teachers and parents. also im sure there are alot of school that have fast food sites in their schools and have positive and negative results. i am kind of worried about all the MLA stuff we have to work with, only because it will take alot of time and patiences. it also scares me when Jenn says if the works citied page isnt right then the whole paper is bad, although i understand why. however i am glad that we have the rest of the semester to finish this. today in class we talked about the fallacies and did an activity, it was nice to actually learn about it in a fun way instead of only reading about it and hoping it processed. the activity really helped me learn about the different fallacies.
