"Its almost done"
Today, we went over the parts of speech. It was a lesson that was just to recover us from the past. It went by quickly and smoothly. In my head, all I am thinking about is how fast the intercession was. It was my first time to take it and be able to take responsibilty for it as well. I did not expect it to be very fast, but I guessed that was a sursprise for me this year. It is January once again and another chapter is close to an end. It just seems as if time is going by very quickly and I still have many things to accomplish. I know that each of use did a great job because we all did our best and our teacher is very exceptional to help us strive for a goals this intercession. This day was just far too quick.
Last Online Session
Intercession is already at an end. Today's online session had a lot of requirements that needed to be met. Defining what a definition is was interesting. Learning that there are two types of definitions, the simple definitions and the extended definitions, both in which have different types of techniques to them. Keeping in mind that no two words mean the same, sources still have to be cited when defining a word exactly as someone or something else did.
The Last Online Class
I can’t believe that today is our last online class! Today’s online class was also quite busy. We covered chapter 14 and 15, which is about Definition and Argument. Both subjects were really interesting and understandable. There are two types of definitions, simple definition, and extended definition. The argument is persuasion on a topic about which reasonable people disagree. I really thanks to Dr. Rivera that she gave opportunity to recover my poor grades at final exam. I was really relieved when she mentioned about the options. I hope all of you do a great job in final exam! See you tomorrow.
Last Online Session
Hey everyone, today would be our last online session and I hope everyone answered the forums and comment because it is a big chunk of our grade. Anyways, I have decided on what project I'll be working on. What have you guys decided on? Whatever it is you chose, I wish you all the best of luck. I am going to miss this small class of ours because we all have something in common and that is bravery. We are going to do great in our next english class because of the information we have gained in such a short time. See you all in class tomorrow.

2 MORE DAYS!
Good evening everyone, I know that everyone received an email from Dr. Rivera regarding our current standing in this class. I hope that everyone did well! I'm surprised at the outcome of my grades, I hope that along with the final test and other assignments it will go up. Unfortunately, I missed our class meeting yesterday due to misinterpretation of the calendar of events and other circumstances. I see that we are given options for our final exam. All of them seem quite challenging, especially the 40 page short story. I think I will stick to taking the actual final exam covering tests 1-4 and chapters 12-16. What are you guys planning to do? Studying the previous tests and chapters also poses as a challenge to me because it combines everything we learned from day one, but I am up for the task! Happy studying everyone, I'll see you tomorrow!
Test Today & Thank Goodness We Have Options For Our Final Exam
Today we did our test on chapters 9 through 11. I hope we all did well on the test. We got chapters 5 to 8 test results back. I honestly can say that I wasn't disappointed at my grade because I had so much trouble when we took the test. I felt overwhelmed. I also thank Dr.Rivera for being so understanding to all of use and how we have all encountered what we call test anxiety. I felt so relief when she gave us many options to substitute our final exam. I will give it all my best to this project because it is worth a lot of points.Today we went over chapter 13. What I found very useful in this chapter would be the subject by subject and point by point outline. I found it very helpful to apply to my writing assignments. Oh, by the way what kind of chips do you guys like? I don't want to bring something that you guys don't like. Well it has been a tough week since the start and now it is going to be our last. Good luck to everyone on passing this course and God bless you all.
