Workshop and Revising

At our first workshop in class, it was really helpful reading our first section out loud. This way we got feedback as to whether or not the group members could assume what research you were actually proposing and who the audience was. If they couldn't then we knew we needed to add more to our papers. We didn't have time to read each person’s paper, but what we did instead was reread our own papers. We discussed that sometimes in the relief of actually finishing writing a paper we don't even read the entire thing through. Instead we click print and bring it to class. Rereading my paper the entire way through I found "silly" mistakes such as forgetting to put a word in or typing a word twice by accident. We also discussed the possibility of adding an abstract or cost section to a few of our proposals.

On another note-
LETS GO STEELERS!! BEAT THOSE JAGS!!

And yet another note-
This weekend was pretty busy. The swim team hosted seniors in high school who we are recruiting to swim at VT next year. They come from states all over such as Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Florida. We showed them around campus, took them to the football game, and let them get to know the team. For this reason Sunday is now dedicated to homework, and I must get back to list of things to do.
