Journal #3 | 5/12/24

We are one week away from finishing semester classes and also nearing the finalization of my writing process for the semester. I am almost done with the final draft of my essay on curated identities on social media. I feel like my writing would be better if I wasn’t so focused on other matters but I still tried to better myself and I think trying can be boasted itself. I am not confident that my essay is good but I feel after revising, I am somewhat confident that I can get certain points across to the reader. I do feel I lacked good articles and better citations so I’m not proud of that. However, reading over the notes provided by the Professor did help me understand the parts of the essay where it was lacking. Though, I hope my revisions are better this time around. I think by utilizing both the Professor’s notes and peer review feedback, I can try to make some improvements. It is rather hard to find solid textual evidence to back most of what I’m saying. 

Currently, my worries are more so on the finals themselves. I currently have 3 finals left and I’m not stoked about it. I’m confident I will pass if I study enough for the next few weeks while at the same time, finishing my final essay for English. At this point, my goal is to do well with the essays and finals and just to be done with them as soon as possible. My stress level is at an all-time high and I can’t deal with any more deadlines. The only thing that has not worked for me would be my time-management skills. I procrastinate too much and I spend too much time on one subject to the point where I neglect my other responsibilities.
