MY E-PORTFOLIO My Cover Letter to Dr. Kyburz Writing. Everyone has a different opinion about writing. I, on the other hand, love free writing, but when it comes to writing a paper, I hate it. I like to free write because I don't have to worry about grammar or not making sense. I could just write about what I think about, but in formal papers I have to be careful with word choice and punctuation, which is something I struggle with. When writing essays, I sometimes overthink the way I am writing something, so it takes me longer to write a paper. But when I free write, it helps me organize my thoughts. I will continue to practice writing and use the stuff I learned in College Writing 2 to improve my writing in the future. I learned a lot in College Writing 2, that I can proudly say I have improved my writing skills in many ways. We wrote four types of papers: microtheme, summary, summary and rhetorical analysis, and rational argument. I struggled writing all of my papers

I LOVE FALL. Even though this year I feel like fall has been missed, and it went straight to winter. Fall reminds me of my birthday since it is in November. I love how the trees change colors, that is my favorite part about fall! I upload this picture since during December we had one day that it felt like fall. Paula, Isabel, Mariyah, and I went on a little stroll to the forest. There is a forest not too far away from Lewis, about 10 minutes, where we went for a little adventure. It was a fun time, because we are a fun time! I hope everyone has been be admiring the few fall days that we have been having. Because I LOVE FALL. :)

It's December 1st, YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS! 24 days till CHRISTMAS! I love Christmas! Even though we have 2 weeks left of school and the only positive thoughts I have is thinking about Christmas! All these assignments, tests, and finals are stressing me out! I can't wait for Winter Break, and most importantly, CHRISTMAS! :) I hope everyone is enjoying Christmas movies and songs, and all the beautiful decorations outside!

I love Winter, but at the same time I hate it. I love winter for so many reasons, Christmas is coming, snow everywhere, everyone decorating their homes, its just such a beautiful scenery. But i hate winter for one reason.... because of the cold! I absolutely hate when its cold outside! The picture I posted up above, is the most accurate definition of how I feel during the winter. Some of my roommates don't like the heat up high in our section. But me on the other hand, love it. So sometimes we do argue about the heat, and secretly turn the heat up or down. Some battles that me and my roommates have. :)

I am still so obsessed with the beautiful sunsets that I get to see everyday from my room. Living next to a soccer field and open fields behind it is amazing. I get to see the beautiful sky and the sunsets. This picture was taken on Monday by my roommate Paula. She has some really good photography skills! ;) Now that the sun sets earlier and it gets dark earlier, everyday we get to see the sunset and admire it. My roommates and I love taking pictures and watching the sunset.

Sunday was my birthday! I went back home this weekend to spend time with my family and friends. I had a really great birthday with my friends! Bu on Sunday, I came back to Lewis later on in the night. When I got home my roommates planned the cutest thing ever for me! They decorated my room and got me some cute little presents. They even got me my favorite cake, Oreo ice cream cake! I was really surprised and was not expecting any of this! Just wanted to give a little shoutout for my roommates because they are the best :)
