First, let me start by saying, this paper was EXTREMELY easy!! Then again, it only became easy once I understood what was required. At first, I didn't have the slightest clue what I was supposed to do. I really didn't understand how I was supposed to find 3-5 ads that "spoke" to me as a consumer. Then, I started getting frustrated and upset because I couldn't figure out what our wonderful teacher (LOL) meant in her lectures about the paper. So, I just kept putting off the rough draft because I didn't know what she wanted. Honestly, I just typed out an incomplete rough draft the night before, and printed it out at the library the morning before class so I wouldn't show up empty-handed. But, what really helped me, was the peer conferences.
Originally, I thought the peer conferences would be a waste of my time. I know I'm a good writer, so I figured another student couldn't possibly help me!! But I was completely wrong. Unfortunately, I've already forgotten the names of the 2 girls I was paired with, but their papers really helped me get ideas for my paper. Because I was so confused, my rough draft was terrible. But after reading their rough drafts, I understood how the paper was supposed to be written and I was able to re-do the whole paper in one sitting. Once I got started, it was really easy to finish!! Hopefully, the rest of the essays will be just as easy, if not easier.

No such luck! The essays are designed to be more challenging as the semeseter goes on.
The good news is, however, that I don't want to fail anyone, so I'll do my best to keep people on track and help out where you guys need it.
And, in the future, if you're struggling, let me know! This class shouldn't be scary or super stressful for anyone, and if you find yourself frustrated, I'm always around to help out!
