Mak Dau-national geographic: flop seen in writing center

Jett-Writing Center

Writing Center

My trip to the writing center visit was very helpful because my writing fellow helped me clear up on things that I was confused on. We worked on clearing up repeated words for example very. The trip there led me to take out a lot of rambling and a lot of run on sentences. Although I still have a lot of things to work on I would say my paper got a lot better.
I still need to work on my transitions because I know that those are lacking and I know I also need to work on my conclusion. I struggle with conclusion because I can't tie things together in a paper or in actual conversation. It is one of my most tremendous flaws in the way of English.

Goals

I feel like I set my goals on what I can accomplish although this isn't exactly what I personally think this is what you should do. As a person I try to set my goals on what I think I can accomplish. I feel like the reason I do this is because if I try to do something and then don't do it I feel as if I haven't tried my hardest. I feel as if I don't complete my goals that I have set for myself then I have just not put forth the effort to do so.

If I were to apply my goals as to what I really want to strive for I would have to change who I am as a person. I am just not the person that is able to deal with that and although that might not be a great feature it is one thing that makes me who I am. Should I change who knows what I would be like might be better might be worse I know that I would be different.

Literary Analysis

Currently in my literary analysis I am on the third page after writing a intro and two body paragraphs. However the other paragraphs have not come quite as easily as the first three. I am struggling with more of the filler for the rest of the paragraphs so I suppose you could say that I am having a really bad case of writers block. Something that has worked for me in the past when this has happened before is to just set a certain amount of time just to write and don't do anything else until that time is up. However due to time constraints I have to really force myself to work at a more elevated pace so that idea has gone out of the plan.
Fortunately if there is one thing I can do it is last minute everything even though it isn't exactly a great skill to have it comes in handy for things like this. I suppose things could be worse I could only be on two pages with three complete paragraphs.

Christmas

My family Christmas plans is odd in a way that we can make a plan a year in advance and remind people every week but they will somehow find a way to make that plan no longer work at the last second. By doing this it forces my family to make a decision to either go to the side that makes the plan no longer work or go to the side of the family that we had made plans with originally. Somehow we always end up going to the family that changed the plans. We typically just go there and exchange gifts and then leave. As apposed to going to the other side of the family's house where we would exchange gifts, eat a meal, and then go do some sort of family activity. Which seems lame but it beats just walking across the street and doing nothing the rest of the day.
The only real reason I feel as why we still go to the people who changed the plans house is because we live so close to them so we kind of have to go there because nobody wants to have to deal with the numerous awkward encounters later. Unfortunately due to the lack of our ability to deal with awkward encounters I don't get to see the other side of my family very often so my relationship with them is very weak. Also I feel as if my family is kind of pitted against each other due to the fact that people on one side will get very irritated if you don't spend every waking moment with them. Thus being the reason why my holidays are very weird.
