Class was only 15 min!

So today class was only 15 minutes! All we did was an exercise that had us follow a "road" on a piece of paper without lifting our pencils. Then we had to do the same exercise only with a mirror reflecting our course and a paper covering the road. This exercise was so frustrating because everything was backwards and when I would get off track it took a huge effort to get back on track. The exercise was to show the perspective of the audience; reading our essays. The exercise allowed me to realize that when I write it takes little effort to write the initial essay, but then when the audience reads the essay they struggle to try to find the direction. So as a writer I need to keep the audience in mind and take care of them so they do not get lost in my composition. Just as in life, we must make actions that are clear and concise allowing those around us to understand the direction where we are headed. Yet, we must first know the direction that we want to go!

Anyway... Learning is awesome!
