You learn something new every day.

So, the past week I've discovered something new about myself: I don't like summary writing.  I usually love writing, but I don't know why I don't like this particular form of writing. I think it might be because I feel as if I can't use my own voice in it, I can't state my thoughts about what is happening in the movie, book, song, whatever it may be that I'm writing about. I love writing that is free, without limits, and that I can just talk about. That's why I enjoy blogging on here so much.  I write about what's happening in class, but I also write about things that are on my mind.  Due to not really liking summary writing, I questioned my essay a lot, which made me create several different drafts.  I, honestly, don't even feel like my final draft was my best.  I know I could do so much better and I'm looking forward to other essays where I have the opportunity to do so.  
I also learned that food labels lie when they say "Wait 1-2 minutes for food to cool." I waited 10 minutes and still managed to burn my tongue on soup while at work.

    summary writing may be dull, but done well, it will help your *grander* arguments succeed. you will have the confidence of knowing you're representing accurately and ethically :)
