So, as for the OpEd...I loved it!! I really enjoy opinion based papers. For some reason I think I enjoy arguing my opinion (even though arguing sucks sometimes). Another aspect I usually enjoy is being able to choose my own topic. Sometimes that can be difficult to come up with a good one but for the most part I can put more into a paper that has a topic I feel strongly about. Things that went well for this paper was definitely the revision process. Although the writing center had a little bit of a negative attitude, they were helpful and I think the revising stage made my paper 97% better!

Anyways back to the paper. On the negative side, as much as I like expressing my opinion there are some problems putting them into a paper. I always get a bunch of ideas in my head and then it is a lot harder to get them sounding right on the page. So, that's always a struggle when it comes to opinion papers. Making my opinions into something organized can be hard. Another thing that is hard with this being the first paper and all is knowing what your professor likes and what makes him give you a good grade :)
So we'll see what C. B. Husberg thinks...
I totally agree. I love writing about something i am passionate about, but having that many ideas gets really jumbled, and i don't really understand my own point anymore. but i agree, it was fun writing it. :)
