I admit that I have not done a very good job of making regular entries in my Blogs. Usually being the quiet person in the room, I don't feel the need to express myself as often as most people do. But tonight, while I should be sleeping, I feel I need to at least post SOMETHING. If there's any reason for it, it's practice.
This semester at Simon Fraser University is going to be a bit different for me. For the first time I'm taking more than one course at a time where a decent amount of writing needs to be done. Being a computing science major I'm not used to typing up large quantities of wordage all at one time. As a result I find myself staring at a blank OpenOffice text document struggling to find the words to express my response to a given assignment. Whether its relating the film Koyaanisqatsi to some other works, or writing my views on autonomy, the opinion is there yet I keep drawing blanks.
Now this problem also manifests itself while applying for co-operative education job positions. No matter how much advice I get or how many guides I read, I have a very difficult time finding the write words to "sell myself" to a potential employer. The cover letters are especially difficult for me.
Until next time: practice makes perfect (I hope).
