The librarys full

Its dead day, and the library is so close to being full its unreal. Its not surprising that there are no study rooms available, but its pretty crazy that nearly every little workstation thing is taken. There are spots open yeah, but only a few in the middle of a group of people and not off in a nook somewhere where its real quiet. I should come up with a place to study at thats free of distractions but that's not the library. I don't know where to find that, anyone know?

Journal 7

Over the course of this entire semester, I have learned many critical skills that are beneficial to myself as a writer. Towards the beginning of the semester, I had just learned simple skills such as analysis of subjects, and dissecting papers. Since then, I have gained the necessary skills to critically analyze a piece of writing, then dissect it's contents, and figure out the who, when, where, and why pertaining to the subject.

Such skills have allowed me to break down the components of a speech, break down and assess the validity of points in a public argument, and even use that knowledge to write my own public discourse. These are some of the most fundamental skills I have picked up over the course of this semester.

In addition to this, I have picked up many beneficial little skills along the way that help to increase the performance of my writing. I have learned to revise, revise, and do some more revising. Revisions have become a key part of writing good papers for me, going back on my thoughts from days or weeks prior allows me to have a full scope of how I want to write my paper and use idea that may not have come to me in the first few revisions of my paper.

The five pieces of advice I would give;

1. Pay Attention, do the exercises in class
2. Go to the Writing Center
3. Revise, multiple times, 3 or more drafts before the final paper
4. Proper Antecedent's
5. Make sure everything flows well

Those are the pieces of advice I would give to new students
