I learn more and more every time I go to Writing. It’s starting to become my favorite class. I learn more about academics and myself in that class than any other class that I have. This week we touched base on a few things. We went over rhetoric, and how that plays into our writing. I think it’s important to understand rhetoric (purpose, audience, tone, context, etc.) because it can help guide you through your writing. If you know (sorry for the cliché) who, what, and why of you're writing then it’ll be easier to get a sense of what genre you’ll need to write for and what you’ll need to say. We also went over the hyphen vs. dash and when to use which. I tend to run my sentences and pack as much in each because they don't make sense to me without all the certain pieces, so I was actually excited to go over that. I know when and why to use which in writing, and hopefully it’ll help improve my long ass sentences. We went over WP #1 and it confused the hell out of me. I totally understand WHAT our writing assignment is, and how to execute it. I just have no idea what topics are gonna end up in my final rough draft and which sources I’m gonna use. This whole first big writing assignment is kind of intimidating and it’ll probably set the tone for the rest of my quarter so hopefully it works out.
Also you're probably wondering what's up with my title. There was a ton of spongebob pictures and jokes on yik yak the last few days. In case you don't know what yik yak is, it's an app that shows you others post in your location (so for me its like IV and Goleta aka a ton of UCSB students) and its all anonymous. Super entertaining app, kinda similar to Twitter but no one has any idea who posts what. Anyways. Like the ENTIRE yik yak was full of them, they were hilarious. HEY! Maybe I can use yik yaks in my WP. We'll see.
