One of my hopes for this semester is to feel comfortable with writing. I want to be able to write up a draft and not be embarrassed to submit it or get it revised by a classmate or professor. I also would like to expand my vocabulary so I'm not using the same words over and over again. I feel like the words you pick either make or break your writing. And finally, I would like to write more in my own time. I do have a journal but I don't keep it updated as much as I should, and I hope that with writing more in class will transfer over to my daily life.
