Presentations
I am really enjoying the presentations thus far, it seems everyone was able to come up with a topic that really related to something that is interesting to them, I know I did. This has made the presentations very interesting, because it is obvious that the presenter cares about their topic. On that note, however, I can't believe that our time as a class has wound down so quickly! It seems like just the other day that we got the syllabus and Paper 4 seemed so far away, and now it's just about all over. Freshman year sure did fly by, and I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not. I welcome the break during summer, but it just means that I'm one-quarter away towards real life, and I am certainly not ready for that. It seems like I'm gonna need at least another ten before I leave school and become an old person (no offense Laura!). Well, seeing as this will be the last blog post I ever write, I hope everyone has a great summer and is successful in whatever life brings you!

Paper 4
I can't believe the year has wound down so quickly and that i'm practically almost a sophomore in college at this point. It's scary to think that in just a few short years i'm actually going to go into the real world doing real things.
My paper 4 is coming along very smoothly. It is actually almost done. (I don't know how, i'm never on the ball with these sorts of things) but I am very happy with this, as it is giving me a lot of time to go over and make sure it is done well. The research process went very smoothly for me, I think my topic was just narrow enough, because i was able to find just the number of articles i needed, granted with some difficulty, but that means that there hasn't been too much research done on my topic which i s what i'm going for.
It's good to feel that my presentation is out of the way, and went fairly smoothly. I wish I could have focused more on my proposal at the end, but I was really feeling pressed for time at that point, as the five minutes snuck up on me so quickly. With my presentation being done and paper four being basically finished, I can't believe that i'm more or less done with English 125! I hope everyone had a good year!
