The Election

This picture just says so much. What does it mean to you?
Before election night, I didnt think Trump was going to be in office. I was thinking."america is not dumb enough to elect him as the leader of our country,". I also saw that a lot of the election polls predicted hillary to win so I thought we had nothing to worry about.
Well man was I in for a reawakening. On the night of Nov, 8th I was freaking out because Trump was winning and all of the predictions were wrong! I woke up at 4am just to see that Trump won! How did this happen?? Now I'm just waiting for the outcome. Ughh I don't know what to think or expect now.

I also saw an article that stated that Obama will sign executive order declaring an investigation on the election results. There will be a recount as of Dec 15 2016. Maybe we might have another shot!

Class Reflection

I really like how this class flows. Its really easy going but the work is very critical. I like the creative effect of this course as compared to other analytical college writing courses. I like how Dr. Kyburz teaches us and how she wants us to succeed. I also like how we are able to voice our opinions on current even topics without worrying about others judging you. I like that Dr. Kyburz sets the tone to makes students feel comfortable to share their opinions even if its opposite of her views. I really like the blog post idea because it is very different. It is like the social media for college writing 2 in a way.

Microtheme Reflection

I really liked this project. This project was short and to the point, yet creative and different. I like how we were able to talk about topic that means something to us. I also like how we were able to give our comments and concerns about the topic. One challenging part about the assignment was staying focused on one part of the topic. Usually, people like to go off on a rant on topics they feel strongly about but with this project we couldn't do that. This was very helpful and effective and can help us in the future.
I liked the micromodal idea as well. That part of the project was were we we able to get creative and use our imagination to create a small piece. I noticed that the short films had such a strong and powerful impact.
