Terrel's Swell Paper (Didja catch that rhyme? No? I thought not.)

This week I spent around 30 mins. outside of class working on my Literacy Narrative (Thurs.) and I read 2 hours of "The Zen and Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" today, which was approximately 57 pages. My Writing Group was a big help to me, it really added to what I thought of my writing. I was very pleased with the positive feedback I wrangled out of my group, and was particularly impressed by Terrel's (Am I spelling that right? God I hope so) paper. His was on a book, 1984, I think it was, that held some deep meanings to life. Of course, now I can barely remember some of it, but it was very well written, precise and clear as crystal. Now, my style of writing is a little....well, convoluted, perhaps, and my thoughts and words tend to splatter everywhere, so I was a little surprised at how much I enjoyed his paper. He gave me a couple pointers on mine, the biggest being to perhaps tone down the pessimism (which I appreciate, but realism is just a little too real for me to just leave it all out). My other group member, who I won't name, wasn't very enthusiastic or focused on the masterpieces presented to her. Shockingly, it seemed almost a bore to said teammate. Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnyway, I enjoyed the writing groups because it gave me some good ideas for my paper, though I wish we had actually been allowed to work on it that day. I'm looking forward greatly to the day when the classes papers are presented, because as you all know, I looooove presenting. Thanks for readin'
