thoughts on first assignment
This is actually the hardest assignment I've had through the first week of class. Being an engineer for the past 10 years, I've been trained to think about how to go from point A to point B, think about efficiency, think if things are plausible and how to get them done. So when I'm asked to read about something and then just comment about it, I was actually stuck. Engineers usually don't get the freedom to choose their own topic. It was both liberating and daunting. After being stuck on the assignment for a day, I just thought, what the heck, just write about whatever popped into my binary mind. After all, that is my reaction.
Why doesn't Movable Type have spell checking? I had to type everything up in word first then copy and paste it back.
I wrote individual points instead of one long piece because this is how information is organized in my head. The last time I've thought about transitioning from point to point was freshmen year in colllege for my writing class. I'm not good at it so I won't try - at least not today. No need for more stress.
