Today I met with Olivia. We had a great conversation about the class itself and how I was doing. She hasn’t spent much time in our class yet this semester, so we took the beginning of our meeting just checking in on how I was doing and feeling in this class. We then talked about my essay and my concerns about it. I truly only had one question about my essay and I feel like we solved it. In my meeting with Prof. Cripps on Monday, he gave me suggestions and ideas on how to condense my first two body paragraphs about the authors. I did that for my homework yesterday but I felt as if the way I arranged them together seemed a bit choppy and as if I was trying too hard to get these pieces to fit. Olivia had me read her my new paragraph and she agreed that it was a bit choppy, that I did have a good idea and execution on adding them together but something was missing. We did a bit of brainstorming until she helped me come up with the perfect way to tie the authors ideas together. I am very happy with how the meeting went and how we were able to create this change, even if it was small, in my paper that is going to help show my ideas and position on the texts.
