EPL and more

I'll just come right out and say it... I and still a little confused about this assignment. I understand how we are supposed to incorporate The Rhetocrial Triangle and all of the other requirements for this assignment. Showing visual aids, so glad this is a requirement! It's so hard to sit through presentations that don't capture the eye. I have never done a full assignment based soley on using persuasive advertising.. I don't think I'll have a problem with it even though I hate the way it can be used. Manipulative, and overly heartfelt to the point that it just makes you sad. I don't plan on going that route. But I do plan on talking to you (teach), to get a better idea! (: 

Oh, we're halfway there!

This has been the toughest semester I have had this far in college. It is such a challenge to focus and do well in school while dealing with personal issues. However, I am still trying to be a good student. I think that even though it has been a tough semester it's a good life challenge. So far I have enjoyed this class very much. The way we are writing papers has definitely taken me out of my comfort zone because I am still unsure of my writing. I hope that I can do better for the remander of the

Oh this is rough!

I am having such a hard time with this rough draft. This is OBVIOUSLY my biggest weakness as a writer! Coming up with a good idea that will flow well for at least six pages. So I just want to warn anyone that will be reading this incredibly ROUGH draft, don't judge it. I just can't get enough information solely on nursing homes. SO I will more than likely have to branch out.

You Are Killin' Me Smalls

Well, so far I have come up with nothing but a headache. Not only am I bad at this blog style type of writing, but the "creative writing process" as well. I have been working 16/18 hour shifts almost everyday so if I am not there, I am sleeping, or dealing with my new 8 week old puppy. The nursing home has been the only thing on my mind really. I have been racking my brain trying to come up with a topic for this paper. That is one of my biggest weaknesses as a developing writer. If the teacher gives me a topic, I am good to go! Coming up with one on my own, now that is a different story.
However, I am thinking about doing my topic on something that deals with working in a nursing home. Now this topic could be tricky due to the fact that I cannot break HIPPA laws. I am thinking I will make my proposal on what I think should be done to people who commit "elder abuse" or rather just on the ignorant people I work with. I have yet to decide, I am still in the process of figuring it out.
