Peer review

Peer review can sometimes be an awkward and uncomfortable experience. There are many people who might not feel comfortable sharing their work; I am one of those people. I don’t like when people other than the person who is supposed to be grading my papers to read them in case they are bad I don’t want people to think that I suck at writing. Peer reviews are good because it can help you find mistakes in your work that you didn’t know were there. Often if you just reread something after you wrote it you miss weird sentences because you know what you meant to say and that’s what you read. Having a fresh pair of eyes look at your paper will make it better in the long run. So for those of you who don’t like having your stuff peer reviewed; suck it up, it will help you in the end. 

The difficulties of learning things.

        There are a few skills that I have not quite yet been able to master. One of them is being able to write and keep a planner for school and other functions. My main problem with this is that I normally either forget to write in it, or I forget to look back in it when I need to do my work. Being able to master this would help a problem that I used to have a lot when i was younger, which was forgetting my assignments from school. That could easily be fixed by writing the assignments down as I get them instead of trying to remember later that night when I start my homework. I have recently started putting assignments in my phone calendar and notes so it will remind me when to do things which has been very helpful. I hope that this will help me to learn to be better about writing things I need to do down.
