TO DA FUTURE!

I am going to be busy with the upcoming holidays so I am not going to be posting much in this blog for the next couple of weeks. (This is due to Christmas and my 21st B-day being right around the corner) However, I will be talking about movies I have recently seen along with books, games, and various television shows I am currently watching. Until then enjoy Daft Punk's latest music for their hit single Derezzed!

And yet again I must be a sleep! AVAST! Busy times and a bright future ahead!

First I like to apologize for posting this late since I thought it was due on the stereotypical Friday due date. There is always something to remind me to get my act in gear may it be reading things carefully or just paying attention. I feel like such a dimwit at times when I notice things like this. Our teacher’s post about the final blog entries made me go, “what?”
To start things off I have to say that for a first experience for an online course this wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. This online English course was actually pretty fun when all is said and done. If I didn’t take this course I wouldn’t have made this awesome blog that I will be converting to a information blog in concerns for all kinds of mass media entertainment that I am in too. I enjoyed doing new things like doing group projects online in a group in concerns for an assigned project.
I can’t not begin to thank you all who have been a part of the various different team groups for peer drafting my papers considering they helped out a lot in the end. I am pleased to say that I feel like my writing has improved since I joined this class. Since this class wasn’t as difficult as I thought it would be I guess I just might take another future online course, maybe I will see some of you there and maybe I won’t. I am hope that I will have a similar experience as I had for this course for my other future online courses. For all of those majoring in English and going for their AA degree like I am I wish you all the best of luck and easiest of times for your future endeavors. There will be challenges ahead and I imagine even harder papers to write but, with a little patience and good study habits I believe we will all come up on top in the end. This will be my final entry in concerns for this English course in my blog so I would like to finally say peace to you all and hang loose.


P.S. One last thing I like to bid you all MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Time to fight a good fight. Prepare yourselves for the end is near!

What has this research paper taught me besides knowledge with Iranian culture? Well to start things off it taught me to become more organized in my thought process and just general writing. I am kind of a procrastinator and this project has been smacking my own ass and getting me into better shape to the point where I am not wasting time. Considering I am also writing another research paper, this other one being ten pages, I have been really tight for time trying to balance these two papers out. In general I guess one could say that this is really testing my time management skills. The other things it is teaching me is how to rely on other people such as the people who work at AVC, the people in my online course team, and family as well at times for tips. I am hoping that everything will come out for the better by the time next week has come and gone.
I am a bit worried though that I may not get everything done on time, but I understand that this is something that I must sacrifice for in order to get a good grade in the class in general. I hope that our teacher understands how much effort and time we are all putting into this research paper. I am pretty sure I am just over thinking things like I normally due when I get pressed for time. As long as I keep focused at the task at hand I do believe I wouldn’t have any trouble at all.
I would like to thank all those who have sent me peer draft reviews and that their help and input is greatly appreciated. I understand that there have been some errors going on in our group file sharing section and that what I have posted was deleted so I will be re-posting them and sending emails out to everyone in our group with copies of the peer drafts that I typed to them either tonight or tomorrow morning. Once again thank you for your shared input and I wish you all good luck in this final week for everything else that is coming up in terms of finals not just for this class but for all your other classes you guys may be taking as well.
