i havent really thought much about what i wanted to revise for my portfolio yet. it is another month away so ive been trying to prepare myself for the upcoming homework for this and next week. i have so much to think about when it comes to other classes that i get so stressed out. i dont understand what Mr. McArdle said about thinking about the essay that i would revise and turn into the portfolio. i thought that we had to write and revise all of the essays and choose one of the inclass essays. i dont really remember any of the inclass essays that well. i will have to reread them again to refresh my memory. usually the third inclass essay is the better one for me. that is what happened last semester. i did ok my first essay then gradually got better by the last one i wrote. i cant remember when the portfolio is due. i believe that it is April 29th so i will have about a month to think about which inclass essay that i want to do. my essays that i wrote about were about eating disorders. i had to write one about stating a problem and then i had to write another one about how the problem could be solved. both of the papers came out good. i dont think that i have to add much to them just go through the comments that people have made and edit alittle of what they believe needs fixed. they said that my problem paper was to informative. i dont know how to change that. if i didnt have all that informative information in there then my paper would be only about 2 pages. i dont know how to state a problem in more than 3 paragraphs without it being to informative. its almost so easy to say "eat some food and dont become anorexic, bulimic or anything like that." the problem could be easily stated-"people that dont eat normally have an eating disorder and they need help." i dont know how to go on and talk about the problem in 4 pages unless i go through the information that people dont know about the eating disorders. and it is so hard not going into solving the problem. maybe i picked a bad topic that was too hard to discuss. but i cant think of anything else that i would know that much stuff about.
it is very stressful. i think that i am just way to stressed about everything that is going on with my life right now. i dont know what to do about it. i try to talk it out to people but that really doesnt solve any of my problems. oh well i guess that i am going to have to live through it. it will all be over sooner that i know and my life will be great as new. i just need to get my studying and grades up so that i dont have to worry about retaking classes next year or having to have more stress built up in my mind.
to end this free thought i would like to say that today was not a good day to ask me to write down what was going through my head. i have a million things going through my head that i dont even want to talk about but they are mostly not good. oh well i know that everything will be ok

when it comes to putting information into your paper, think about what helps or detracts from your argument - put yourself in your audience's position and ask yourself: "What would I want to know about this subject?" - think of the appeals and use them to reach and persuade your audience
