Part 1

Well, I am writing this for the second time since I, once again, thought that I could get it posted before Antville kicked me off. You would think that I had learned by now. Oh well, I suppose I can devote a little extra time to writing about myself again.

What do I think of myself? I'll tell you what I think of myself. First of all, let me just say how truly proud of myself that I am. I really feel that I have accomplished something great. This is because I had moments in which I doubted myself at the beginning of this class. Not only had I never done this type of project before, but Mrs. McComas had never done this type of project with any of her classes. I did't know what to expect. But that doesn't matter now. All that matters is that all of us have been successfull. I'd also like to say that I am expecially proud of myself for accomplishing my goal of becoming a more disciplined student. Sure there were a couple of weeks in which I waited until the last minute to complete my assingnments, but I had my reasons. These shortcomings were because of vacation and work. Afterall, I do have other responsibilities. While I did procrastinate a couple of times, I always met my deadlines. Anyway, I'd like to add how much I've learned from my classmates. Even though we all had our own separate MRPs, I really feel like this was a groups effort. I knew that I could always depend on my peers and Mrs. McComas for their help and support. I'd also like to think that I did the same for them. I feel so blessed to be part of such a great class! I love you guys! Anway, I guess what I've been trying to say during this entire paragraph, is I'm proud of myself and I don't mind saying it!

Part 2: Tips to future multigenre explorers

1. DO NOT PROCRASTINATE. I can not stress this enough. This class requires much work and dedication. If you fall behind in the beginning, it will be extremely difficult to catch up, while producing quality work.

2. ALWAYS type your work to Microsoft Works or an equivalent program before posting to your weblog. Too many times, including when I was typing this final journal, I have thought that I could get my entry posted before Antville kicked me off. Don't chance it. Also, it's a good idea to have a copy of your original work, as you will be making several, I repeat, several revisions.

3. When you read your weekly assignments, don't panic. Yes, it will seem like it's going to take you hours to complete. In all actuality, it will take you many, many hours to complete. Don't let this stress you out. Look at it as a learning experience, because it is a learning experience. You will learn so much from this class if you just allow yourself.

Good luck!
