Thlog week 2

Week 2!! It’s been one hell of a week to say the least, but someone once told me that when you feel you’re getting pulled back-like an arrow-you’re about to shoot forward. So in school and life in general I will continue to do everything to the best of my ability no matter how much I want to give in. Though Writing 2 is not my favorite class, I have to admit that I am picking up a lot of information that will undoubtedly help me to write, read, and communicate better. In Mondays section particularly, Zack gave us tips to be successful in everyday life and writing. One of his tips was to always back up your work, and it was low-key funny to me because I have TERRIBLE luck with technology, and laptops specifically. Last quarter, a few days before my last final my laptop suddenly died on me, taking any chance of getting a good grade with it. I was able to look over lecture slides on Gaucho Space, but all my notes were gone! I then realized I should back up all my documents however I have just been too lazy. After Monday however I started to upload everything to my google drive! Thanks Zack! On Wednesdays section we covered dashes vs hyphens. I learned the difference between them however as dumb as it may sound I don’t know the difference on my keyboard! They hyphen is essentially used to separate a related idea, or add extra information and can be thought of as the same function as a comma. The dash on the other hand in used to bring together two equal words that create a new word in itself. Another thing I learned more about in Wednesdays section is the working thesis statement. Instead of using the thesis statement to write your paper, you write your paper and use what you wrote in order to produce the thesis statement.

Although sometimes learning writing techniques can be boring, it’s essential and I look forward to what else Zack has in store for us to learn.
