Journal 1

Enc 1101 was an overall great experience. The teacher was a burst of inspirational energy. She was a firecracker, and extremely well read. Professor Tomblin had allot of life experience, she was in her late seventies early eighties and I felt very comfortable in her classroom. She was married twice, had two grown daughters and had traveled around the world, visiting many popular locations across the globe. If memory serves, her first husband was in the military, and she raised her family overseas, teaching and building small school houses for those in need. ENC 1101 was filled with a variety of students, many demographic, all shapes and sizes and colors, she took time to critique each student individually working with their strengths. Luckily there were no MLA, or APA style papers. We wrote at least a half dozen papers, so I got a chance to write essays on different topics. I think we also unpacked different hot topics for example abortion, or same sex marriage. Patricia Tomblin read scholarly journals, and was notorious for combining her timeless stories with different writing techniques, but I don’t remember because it's been too long. I tried to keep a consistent journal for a few years, but I haven’t worked on it for the longest time. I want to challenge myself with this course in researching. I don’t know how to use the tool, and I know it cant be that hard if I can just figure it out. I need a bit more practice. With the MLA I’ll just have to look over the rules. Looking forward to the course!
