Hello again. I hope you (reader) have enjoyed your break. I have, but am now ready for spring. That being said, I suppose now wouldn’t be the worst time to recount that which I can remember from last semester, after all the time is now that I will have to start putting my recent learnings to use.
One thing that has stuck with me is the knowledge that Grammarly’s suggestions seem to drain my words of their voice. Accordingly, I have learned to use it more for random slip-up spelling, punctuation, and grammar mistakes, rather than sentence structure and word choice. Another thing that I picked up was the habbit of speed reading. This helps me skim through articles to quickly evaluate their usefulness as potential sources for quotes and such.
Boring stuff aside, I have three TV reccomendations (just in case you have already watched one or two of my suggestions). Number one is Breaking Bad, my favorite show due to inticing writing and phenomenal acting. Next is season one of True Detective (each season follows a different storyline). This show boasts my favorite acting by both Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson, as well as a truly intriguing story. Last is the TV show Fargo, which takes place in my home state, Minnesota. Fargo maintains high anticipation and connection through good character development and entertaining storytelling.
